About this property
White Lake Cottage - Kawarthas waterfront cottage with large, private frontage
A post-and-beam style bungalow cottage with cathedral ceilings on White Lake with beautiful waterfront and fantastic west-facing views. Over 500 feet of waterfront ensures absolute privacy and tranquility during your stay. The cottage is situated in a quiet and tranquil area surrounded by woodland, and is only 30 minutes away from the village of Lakefield, 2 hours from Toronto, and 3 hours from Ottawa.
The main cottage includes 1200 sq ft of fully furnished living space, with 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, and open concept kitchen, dining room and living room. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and quartz counter tops. Kitchen and living room each have a walkout to the deck overlooking the lake for easy entertaining indoors or outdoors. A screened-in Muskoka room offers shaded open-air dining and relaxing space. The lake is visible from all parts of the living room, dining room and Muskoka room.
A flight of natural stone steps take you from cottage level down to the fire pit and dock. The 50 foot dock is shaded in the calm of morning as sunrise strikes the western shore, and turns sunny by mid-morning. Sunsets are spectacular whether viewed from dock or deck. There is a shallow entry into the lake which is ideal for swimming for children, pets and people who cannot swim well. The lake gets deeper as you enter the lake, and is 23 feet deep in the middle of the lake. You can take a boat or canoe out onto the lake to swim, fish or just enjoy the scenery.
Entertainment includes a canoe, DVDs, Video games, board games, and a variety of books. Something for everyone should the weather not cooperate. Equipped with suitable items for young children (high chair, pack-and-play, sandbox, and more). This is a turnkey opportunity to enjoy a lovely, fully furnished waterfront home.

About the host
Hosted by Greg Capling
Life-long cottage goer that loves a renovation challenge. Happiest when near, in, or on the water.
Why they chose this property
Love at first sight! The frontage and the view were spectacular, and the cottage and property were full of potential.
What makes this property unique
Calm, quiet and private. Great fishing and your own private woods to hike in. Adventure awaits bold canoers down Indian River at the south of the lake!
