Guest access
Guests will have access to parking in front of the cabin for easy loading and unloading bags etc. The outdoor fireplace directly beside Woodwind Cabin. You will also have your own large deck, lawn and 2 hammocks to relax and hang out. The small community beach is a 10 second walk down our private road, with two swimming docks. The beach is very sandy with an easy sloping entry.There is also government docks and Marina, for fishing and boat launching (parking as well). The main house is not for guest use.

Other things to note
I discourage guests from bringing disposable plastic water bottles here. No need to bring bottled water to the cabin. It's the best you have ever tasted! Please respect the well, (the main house uses the same well) and be conservative with short showers and water consumption in general.

Please keep all fires small. No smoking in the cabin.

Extra stuff you might find helpful to bring:
extra towels for the beach
flashlight for night walks
marshmallows for the fire

Neighbourhood highlights

Kahshe Lake is a very special place for me. My Great Grandfather, Evander, built some of the cottages along the road back in the 1920's. My ancestors enjoyed the beach, and the healing waters, just as we are so lucky to do now. The area is a quaint collection of cottages, mostly built from the 1920's to the 1950's. A very cozy feel with friendly neighbours.

Our public beach is only 50 meters away. It's a sandy slopping beach with two swimming docks.

The cabin is surrounded by trees and rock with my house on the other side. The driveway is shared (but not close) to the cabin so you have comfortable privacy. The cabin is extremely well insulated with new windows, door, bathroom, and original wood floor.

If you want a close getaway from the city, connect with nature, relax and have a bonfire, the location is perfect. I chop your firewood too!

Hiking trails are accessible by car south and north of Woodwind Cabin (ask me for recommendations) . Our main road is a nice walk too (a bit hilly) down to the other government docks and an old lodge from the 1920's (no longer operating) Rockhaven Inn.

The lake is especially nice because of it's special properties. The water has a slight tea colour, infused with healing tannins. Resist the urge to shower after a swim, and feel how soft your hair and skin is! One of my aunts used to bring water back to the city just to wash her hair.

I am an artist from Muskoka. I love to travel to different shows to sell my work. I also enjoy my home life of relaxing and working on my house and in the studio. I like dogs, animals, and love nature in general. My favourite hobby now is my electric outboard boat. There is nothing like being out on the lake!
