MILLIONAIRE SETTING.....
Welcome to Serendipity Lodge, a unique space with original features and reclaimed barn wood beams, situated atop a quiet south-facing bay with stunning 180-degree views over the lake. Our two-acre grounds are surrounded by crown land with no immediate neighbours in sight, giving you seclusion, tranquility and the ultimate escape from it all.

WHAT YOU WILL ENJOY......
Endless options for relaxation, play and dining include an open-plan kitchen/bar, farmhouse table seating 8, indoor Sauna, outdoor Hot Tub, screened-in sunroom, Billiards/Snooker table, Foosball, darts, large selection of board games, books and a DVD library. Outside there is a large entertainment deck and gazebo over the lake, second deck under the pines, hammocks, porch swing, 4-burner BBQ, 10-seat patio dining set, picnic bench, lakeside fire-pit, dock, floating mat, canoes /kayak, 80ft zip line and golf putting. The crystal clear water is perfect for family swimming with a gradual-entry sand beach yet deep enough at the end of the dock for jumping. Fish can be caught right off the dock.

ALL-SEASON FUN
Winter offers ample opportunities for ice-fishing, snowshoeing, tobogganing and lake skating right at the cottage. Our winters offer crisp temperatures, the lake freezes early in the season and there is plenty of snow. Trails right across the street from the cottage are well-groomed and well-marked from mid-December to late March. Ice-crossing for snowmobilers is next door - Sled in/Sled out at leisure!

All roads and driveway are well-ploughed in winter.

About the host

Hosted by Natasha Upal

Host profile image
We are Natasha and George, from England and Australia, happily settled in Canada since 2010 with our family. We love travelling and discovering new places and most of all we love to be out by the water and exploring nature. We love staying in unique places around the world and love sharing our piece of Canada with likeminded guests.

Why they chose this property

We were drawn to the area's wild beauty, rocky rolling hills and vast expanse of crown and provincial parkland and Canadian wilderness and wildlife.

What makes this property unique

It's a legacy cottage that is the house that Jack built! - Jack was the original owner, a nuclear scientist who lived in the cottage all year round and took great pride and ingenuity in adding to this little piece of heaven. It was also known as "Haut Haus" because of it's high-top situation affording tremendous views over a quiet bay of the lake.
