The cottage boasts a comfortable open-concept living area, perfect for spending time with family and friends. It is elegantly designed with high-quality finishes and modern amenities, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The wood burning stove (please inquire) heats the main floor, keeping you warm in the cooler months. Big leather couches are comfortable for lounging and watching a movie on the 60-inch smart TV with access to Netflix, Disney+ and other streaming apps. Step into the dining space, set for 6 and ready to be used for meals or games. The kitchen is fully equipped with your cooking and baking needs, coffee, tea, sugar, olive oil and basic spices are complimentary! Load up the dishwasher when you're done, put up your feet and relax!
Head downstairs to the three well-appointed bedrooms with four beds, cozy linens, and plenty of storage space for your belongings. Our 3 bedrooms sleep max. 6 adults comfortably (6 adults + 1 child) or a combination of adults and children up to 7. Pack-n-play is available upon request. All three bedrooms are equipped with Queen beds, with the third having an additional loft single bed. Bed linens and bath towels are provided.
The two bathrooms (one on each level) are modern and clean, with showers in both. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash are available. A baby tub can be found in the bedroom closet.
There are decks on both levels, with seating areas for enjoying the view, the sunsets, having a drink or playing cards. The outdoor fire pit is stocked with lots of wood for your campfires and surrounded by string lights (please confirm the current fire rating for Lake of Bays).
Be sure to fill your basket with towels, drinks and snacks before you head down the 81 steps to the lake. You will find the dock with seating, loungers and a 5-person pedal boat for your use. 6 life jackets of various sizes are provided. The water is shallow entry (2-3 ft) and gradually increases. It is beautifully clear with no weeds and the bottom is sandy with some rocks. Perfect for swimming or fishing!
*This is not a place for parties. If you are a loud group, this cottage is not for you. Please respect our neighbours and keep noise at a minimum*
WINTER
The driveway is quite steep, even if not covered with snow, it can still be icy. We hire a private company that plows the snow and sands. During winter months, we ask you to unload your vehicle down below (if conditions are good and your vehicle is equipped with 4x4 and winter tires) and park at the top overflow parking. This ensures you can get out no matter the weather.
Steps down to the cottage may be slippery, please be cautious! We try our best to sand and salt the walkways during turnovers, but will not be able to mid-stay.
The lake freezes over in late January, depending on the temperature. Enjoy walks, snowshoeing, ice fishing and snowmobiling on Lake of Bays. However, we cannot guarantee that ice is safe to walk on at any time, please do so at your own risk.
There are lots of snowmobiling trails in the area, Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Area is also approx. 30 minutes away.
We look forward to welcoming you to Lily's Lake House!
