Beautiful Log Home on Quiet Private Lake

The Cottage is a custom built Log Home designed for the entire family. It is located on a private lake 350km North East of Toronto. Loons and beavers will greet you as you sit on the dock in the morning! If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway....this cottage is for you! This is my 4th Year renting and have truly enjoyed sharing the cottage with everyone.
Whether you like to sit and relax, canoe, fish or just lay out on the dock, you can do it all at the cottage. The night skies are especially dark and stargazing is a favorite thing to do! The Cottage can sleep up to 6 people with room on the couches for 2 more!

Amazing weekend of memories

Gary met us at the cottage and gave us the grand tour, we had the most incredible scenic weekend away with our family and especially enjoyed the experience of Gary’s telescopes!! We got to see sun spots on the sun and go and explore the dark night reserve! Gary is a very laid back and kind host and we can’t wait to go back!!

Peaceful Weekend Getaway

We had a fantastic weekend with perfect weather. We enjoyed canoeing and playing in the warm lake. At night, we had a lovely evening in front of a campfire, relishing the peace and quiet away from the city noise. Gary warmly welcomed us and provided all the necessary information about the cottage. The best part was that our furry friends were also welcome, which we truly appreciated. Thanks for the wonderful getaway!

A terrific getaway!

The cottage and surrounding area were great to explore. Very easy to find and very cozy. Our host Gary was wonderful, very communicative and even offered us a tour of his observatory as well as a pontoon boat ride! Our pup loved him too :) Would stay again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Excellent stay

The cottage was perfect for us. Full of character, lovely location, a great place for us to sit out on the swing-seat and take in the quiet, the lake, colours, chipmunks and birdlife. Gary was a very helpful host, inviting us to a telescope star-gazing evening, which was a high point of our stay. Highly recommended.

Best Campsite Ever!

My husband and I have always canoe tripped in Algonquin or Killarney in the summer. This year we decided to rent a cabin instead. It was wonderful. There were all the comforts of home plus loons, forest and a lovely quiet lake to paddle. We enjoyed having our standard poodle join in the adventure. Gary was a fabulous host sharing his passion and enthusiasm for astronomy with us. We would happily recommend this location to anyone looking for a quiet cabin getaway.

We had a great time at Gary's cottage. It was clean, private and right on the lake. Gary was an excellent host and he even invited us to look at the stars from his observatory. We learned alot about stars and galaxies that night. Thank you Gary, it was pleasure meeting you and we hope to return one day!

Great getaway

Gary is an excellent host! The lake is very quiet and peaceful! Loved watching the meteor shower on the dock in our hammock 🙂 I have never seen so many stars, it was beautiful!!! And if you want to take star watching to a whole different level, hopefully you’re lucky enough that Gary will invite you to his observatory

Great get away!

Our stay at the cottage was exactly what we were looking for. Tucked away, right on the water with everything we needed. It was a cool log cabin itself, with tons of neat outer space decor. Gary was a pleasure to get to know and he made everything super easy for check in/out. The only problem we had, was not having more time to spend there. We will definitely come again and stay at Gary's cottage again...I want to see the observatory!

Great Canada Day Weekend Getaway

A nice serene drive on Farm Lake Trail takes you to a beautiful authentic Log house. House comes equipped with everything you need. A modest dock was enough for 4 friends to get some sun, have a few brewskies and enjoy the scenic lake. A little bit of fishing and some canoeing really hit the spot. There’s a nice fire pit too but unfortunately a fire ban in the area at the time did not let us make use of it. Would rent it again.

Quiet and peaceful

Beautiful lakeside log cottage, nestled into the trees so keeps cool on the hot summer days. Well stocked kitchen with all the basics, ceramic flat top stove, large fridge with excellent large freezer. Host Gary is close by, very available and very helpful. Good walking trails around the cottage, we stayed close to home with our older dog, but lots of good day trips with easy access. We had a quiet and restful week, just what the doctor ordered!
