About this property
Beautiful year round cottage in Minden, great for families & sledders!
RyBell Retreat is a "little piece of heaven" which has 3 bedrooms and a living room pull out couch located 2.5 hours north east of Toronto. Our home is not for parties but suited for those looking to enjoy the calm and serenity of the Ontario northlands. The lake is a beautiful clear blue/green colour. You will fall in love with RyBell and want to come year after year. Please note - there are a number of steps down to the water - mobility is necessary. See webpage www.rybellretreat.com
