About this property

Beautiful Log Home on Quiet Private Lake

The Cottage is a custom built Log Home designed for the entire family. It is located on a private lake 350km North East of Toronto. Loons and beavers will greet you as you sit on the dock in the morning! If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway....this cottage is for you! This is my 4th Year renting and have truly enjoyed sharing the cottage with everyone.
Whether you like to sit and relax, canoe, fish or just lay out on the dock, you can do it all at the cottage. The night skies are especially dark and stargazing is a favorite thing to do! The Cottage can sleep up to 6 people with room on the couches for 2 more!

A great cottage for a family getaway

We had a fantastic stay at this cottage! Gary was excellent host—friendly, responsive, and made everything easy. He is an avid astronomer and astrophotographer and we spent a wonderful evening of stargazing with him.The location is perfect, right on the lake with beautiful views and peaceful surroundings. Bon Echo Provincial Park is just a short drive away and made for a great day trip with its hiking trails and stunning cliffs. Sand Lake’s public beach nearby was a nice bonus for a relaxing swim.

Lovely cabin

We enjoyed staying at Gary's cabin. It's rustic, cozy, and had everything we needed. He's a great host, he met up in person upon our arrival just to give us a short tour and intro to the cottage and it's workings, along with offering to take us out on his pontoon boat on the lake. The kitchen had all cooking essentials and tools with a couple options for brewing coffee.. drip or press. The lake is shallow but great for canoe trips to enjoy the scenery, canoe supplied by Gary. We fed the birds from our hand off the porch swing and watched the other wildlife from the cottage.Washer and dryer was a bonus to have.

Had a Great Time

We had a wonderful time. Gary is a great host. He was very welcoming, friendly and warm. His cottage was lovely. Perfect for a quiet retreat. The lake in the early morning and evening is so calm, just sit back and take it all in. In the early morning, you can see the mist lifting off the lake, perfect for that classic cottage picture.If you enjoy bass fishing, this lake is a great choice. We caught a great number of 3 to 4 pounders.Gary is very passionate about astronomy as many previous renters have mentioned. He shared his vast knowledge with us. It made our stay that much more memorable.Thank you Gary for your hospitality. We had an unforgettable time.

Our group booked a reading retreat getaway and Gary's cottage was the perfrct location. We met Gary upon check in and he provided a tour. Its a beautiful log cabin with lots of space and situated nicely aming tall shaded trees, and a few steps away from Farm lake. Overall it had everything we needed - comfortable lodging, very private and quiet and stunning lake views. The couches and beds were comfortable. There is no air conditioning but there are fans in every room (we wished we had known as we had brought some and knowing there were lots of fans would have been helpful). We did swim in the lake with some floaties which was lovely. The lake is a bit muddy and weedy so its ideal to bring floaties. Overall, it was a fab weekend. We will be back and Gary was a responsive, kind and gracious host. It is also a great spot for families! Thank you Gary!!

A terrific getaway!

The cottage and surrounding area were great to explore. Very easy to find and very cozy. Our host Gary was wonderful, very communicative and even offered us a tour of his observatory as well as a pontoon boat ride! Our pup loved him too :) Would stay again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Peaceful Weekend Getaway

We had a fantastic weekend with perfect weather. We enjoyed canoeing and playing in the warm lake. At night, we had a lovely evening in front of a campfire, relishing the peace and quiet away from the city noise. Gary warmly welcomed us and provided all the necessary information about the cottage. The best part was that our furry friends were also welcome, which we truly appreciated. Thanks for the wonderful getaway!

Excellent stay

The cottage was perfect for us. Full of character, lovely location, a great place for us to sit out on the swing-seat and take in the quiet, the lake, colours, chipmunks and birdlife. Gary was a very helpful host, inviting us to a telescope star-gazing evening, which was a high point of our stay. Highly recommended.
