About this property

Bob Lake Cottage - Minden Hills, Ontario, Canada

Stunning four season vacation home set on a large, private lot with lots of tall trees and great westerly views. The cottage is elevated from the waterfront, has a wrap around deck as well as a screened porch and lower deck. Wide plank flooring, high ceilings, lots of windows overlooking the deck and lake - beautifully finished and furnished, including a rec room with pool table - this vacation home provides something for everyone. Located about ten minutes drive from Minden for groceries and shopping.

There are four bedrooms - the master is on the upper floor and has a king bed, flat panel tv., twin julienne balconies overlooking the lake, gas fp and a four piece ensuite bathroom with soaker tub, separate shower, toilet & sink. There are two bedrooms on the main floor, both with queen beds. One of the bedrooms has a walk out to the deck. On this level there is a three piece bathroom (shower, toilet & sink). On the lower level is a large bedroom with a double/single bunk combo, a set of single bunks and a double bed. Also on this level is a three piece bathroom (shower, toilet & sink). There is also a walk out to the lower deck as well as a games room with a billiard table and a TV room.

Stunning designer kitchen with granite counters, a sit up breakfast bar seating 8, stainless steel fridge/freezer, gas stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave. Fireplace in main living area. Laundry. Phone. Satellite tv., high speed internet access, central air. Wrap around deck, screened porch. Rec room on lower level with pool table, walk out to lower deck. Deck, gas bbq, patio furniture. Dock. Canoe, windsurfer. Campfire.

PLEASE NOTE: As of July 14, 2016 the public boat launch on Bob Lake is unavailable due to a property dispute. However, the canoe is available. We are hoping this can be resolved for the 2017 summer season but there is no guarantee.

Winter Rentals: Please contact me regarding winter road conditions.
Approx. 300' of shoreline accessed by 58 stone terraced steps from the cottage. Large deck/dock with clean, deep water swimming (about 20' deep off the end), ladder at end of dock. There are 12 cement steps into the water beside the dock onto a flat cement pad then stony bottom. Note: Water levels vary on Bob Lake - some of our photos show higher spring/early summer water levels and others show mid to late summer levels which are lower.
