Fern Landing at Kawagama Lake - Dorset - Room for the family w large deck & dock

Come escape for a while. Our family cottage boasts all day sun on our large floating dock with a mix of sun and shade on the even larger fixed dock. Keep your lakeside drinks and snacks cool in the mini fridge in the dry boathouse where you can also relax and take in the evening sunset. We have three kayaks and a canoe for your enjoyment to explore our quiet bay or head around to the next bay close by but a world away for ice cream, snacks, a cold beer or food truck at either of the two marinas.
Our cottage has a large stocked kitchen with central island for gathering, dining area with a large table which seats eight. Also on the main level is a three piece renovated bathroom and bedroom with a queen bed and twin bunk on top. A few steps down is a large living area with space for everyone to spread out to play games, read a book or watch a movie on the projector.
On the second floor is the primary bedroom with lakeview. Queen bed and half bath and a third bedroom with queen bed and twin bunks. Outside you will find a huge deck with outdoor eating area, L shaped couch and Muskoka chairs overlooking the lake. Fourth bedroom is located in the bunkie over the garage. This sleeping area is large with two twin beds. Great place for older kids to have some space.

Kawagama Lake Escape has everything you'd need for a family to enjoy cottage life. The kitchen is very large and you could cook any meals needed, plus a BBQ for grilling. There's a large deck with stunning views and a big dock for enjoying the water. Outdoor games, canoes and kayaks for playing on the water and a covered boathouse for shade seekers. We had a wonderful time.

Great Lake, Great Host
This was a fantastic property, very clean inside with all amenities that we could have needed for our stay. It was very private had a great dock (our dog loved jumping off it), very clean lake to swim in and do water activities. The road was great for going for a walk after dinner with little to no traffic. The property was as described and the host was available if needed. We would definitely come back!!! K&J
