IMPORTANT Note ….after clicking "request to book', we will review the request and answer questions before going any further). We will respond very promptly to all inquiries..
Note - ... a bonus ... VRBO have advsied us that they do not have to charge HST on bookings exeeding 30 consecutive nights. We only rent for 31 nights (so we are not not classed a AS A SHORT TERM RENTAL), but you actually only pay and come for the exact time that you want (one week minimum Friday to Friday) . A one week stay = $1800 (booking is 31 nights x 58.06/night). Two weeks = $2700 (booking is 31 nights x $37.10/night). If you want to stay longer than two weeks, we will offer an additional discount.
This listing says $168/night but that is if you actualy want to come for at least 31 nights.
You confirm in writing that you will only be there during the week(s) that you want, and we confirm in writing that the place will not be rented during nights when you will not be there, and we also confirm that you will not be held responsible for anything that might happen when you are not there.
This has worked well for us for years, because we only rent for the few summer weeks just to offset some costs.
Do not enquire unless you are in agreement to sign a 31 night contract at these crazy low prices. Perhaps you know of others who would be interested in being part of your 31 night rental? If not, it will be vacant when you are not there. Although it says 1-night minimum on this listing, there is a web site problem that does not work for us, We definitely do not rent for 1 night and we must rent for at least 31 nights. You will not be approved unless you agree to sign a 31 night contract with us. This really is an unbeatable and rare deal for a lovely place.
Nice family cottage near Algonquin Park- pretty, private, fully equipped, 3 bedroom, fireplace, BBQ, 2 kayaks/paddles/life preservers, big hammock right on edge of lake, binoculars, bird feeders,deck and dock both have tables/chairs/umbrellas/tiki torches/flowers,. Trail, with tree house, clear deep water, great SW view, sun from 11 AM. Queen , double, and bunks. Parking for 3 cars, Free firewood, and spring drinking water. Perfect!.
Notes : deep water for diving and boat mooring, but not good for non- swimmers (rocky shore).
: Other boats can be rented nearby and often are delivered.
: Public beach and boat launch are 5 miles away in town of Dwight Ontario.
: To keep rates low cleaning is required before leaving unless otherwise
arranged .
: Renters must sign a simple contract with me,
: No smoking in or out.
: Hard to find a cottage on a large lake that is situated so close to the lake, with preferred SW exposure, clear water for great swimming, privacy, private dock with tiki torches, shaded deck with tiki torches, nice sunsets, kayaks, quiet bay, and just 2 1/2 hours from Toronto.

About the area
Dwight
Located in Lake of Bays, this cottage is on the waterfront. The Acres Driving Range and Ragged Falls are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Oxtongue River-Ragged Falls Provincial Park and J. Albert Bauer Provincial Park. Kayaking and snorkelling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and cycling nearby.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by John

We are the original owners of this place, our family cottage.We are currently looking for a family interested in a month rental at a low rate.
Why they chose this property
This cottage has what you really want.
Does it have an enormous kitchen with an enormous granite counter, an enormous TV, and enormous price? No - if you really need those, stay home because you are not a cottage person. But if you just want to be happy...this is the place for you.
What it does have is a rare close-proximity to the water, so you can fall asleep listening to the lapping of the water. Few realize the importance of directional exposure until they rent a place that has no sun all afternoon and no sunset.
