ABOUT BOSSA NOVA LODGE

🌻 Outdoors: A Symphony of Nature

Bossa Nova Lodge elevates your senses with its artistically designed, landscaped trails. Wander through this enchanting haven and discover various levels of enjoyment. Let the lake views captivate you from the majestic birds-eye view bench, where you can feel like you're perched in nature’s own theatre.

Gather around the outdoor fireplace for laughter and stories under the open sky. Picnic under the radiant sun or share an evening swing with your sweetheart, surrounded by the gentle hum of the forest.

Immerse yourself in the warmth of the hot tub, with the twinkling stars above creating a celestial canopy. Ambient string lighting throughout the property enhances its nighttime charm, but for a more natural spectacle, turn off the lights and let Mother Nature’s beauty shine as you watch the moonlight dance on the lake's surface.

🔑 Indoors: Modern Comfort Meets Natural Beauty

The main floor boasts a bright living room with stunning views of Little White Lake. The open-concept design allows you to engage with loved ones while you prepare meals in the fully stocked, spacious kitchen.

🥄 This kitchen makes cooking easy and convenient, so you can spend more time enjoying the company of family and friends. Savour your meals at the teak wood dining table or out on the patio while the smell of the BBQ dances around you. Whether enjoying your morning coffee or evening dessert out on the deck, take a moment to soak in the soothing sounds of nature.

📺 Watch the storms roll in from the upper living room while you are curled up with a book, or enjoy your favourite shows and movies on the 65-inch screen Smart TV.

🚽 The upstairs bathroom features a large vanity area, toilet, rain shower, and bathtub, equipped with all the essentials for your convenience, allowing you to pack light.

The master bedroom on the upper level offers a comfortable queen-sized bed, ambient lighting for reading, USB charging ports and ample closet space. Wake up feeling refreshed as you gaze out at the lake and mountain views.

Adjacent to the master is our children's sanctuary, complete with a mini bunk bed for small travellers. Keep your little ones close while still enjoying your own space moments away, creating a perfect balance of proximity and privacy.

📌 The Lower Level: A Space for Larger Gatherings

Travel down to the lower level of Bossa Nova Lodge using the charming lighthouse-style staircase or the outdoor rock-boulder staircase. Please note that both stair options may be challenging for the elderly, and small children must be attended by an adult (see other things to note for more details).

Enter a thoughtfully designed space ideal for larger groups or multifamily accommodations.

📺 The lower level features an additional living room with a 65-inch flat-screen TV (Netflix included or sign in to your own streaming services). Need to check in at work? Send your emails from the dedicated workspace, with high-speed Wi-Fi available throughout the property.

Two additional bedrooms are offered on the lower level.

The first provides vast lake and mountain views right at the foot of the bed. Stretch out your yoga mat as the sunlight fills your room.

Let the kids enjoy a sleepover in the lower-level room, equipped with a standard-size bunk bed, fit for two children. Plenty of closet space makes longer stays comfortable and convenient.

The lower level also includes an additional full-size bathroom with a stand-up shower, making it easy to get ready for the day's adventures.
