Welcome to Rising Pines, your private waterfront escape in the heart of the Algonquin Highlands where wide-open space, peaceful surroundings, and unforgettable sunsets set the tone for your stay. Tucked along a quiet stretch of lakefront, this spacious 4-bedroom retreat (plus office with Murphy bed) is designed for families and groups looking to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the best of cottage life.
Spend your days outdoors, exploring the expansive property, relaxing by the water, or heading down to your private dock for swimming, paddling, and soaking in the calm, natural beauty of the lake. As the sun begins to set, Rising Pines truly comes to life, offering breathtaking evening views that make every night feel like something special.
Back at the cottage, the outdoor space invites you to fully embrace summer living. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet morning coffee with a view, unwinding after a day on the water, or gathering around the firepit under a sky full of stars, every moment here is designed to feel effortless and relaxed.
Inside, the cottage blends comfort with classic cottage charm. The open-concept layout is filled with natural light, highlighted by soaring ceilings and large windows that frame the lake. The living room offers a warm and inviting space to gather, complete with a gas fireplace, while two woodstoves provide an authentic cottage feel on cooler evenings.
The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals for the group, with a dining area that overlooks the water and creates the perfect setting for shared meals, slow mornings, and time together.
Rising Pines comfortably accommodates families and larger groups across four bedrooms plus an additional office with a Murphy bed, offering flexibility and space for everyone to relax.
Guests return to Rising Pines for its rare combination of space, privacy, and year-round versatility. From long summer days at the lake to quiet evenings by the fire, this is a place where lasting memories are made.
In the winter months, the property becomes a cozy base for adventure, located just 10 minutes from Sir Sam’s Ski Resort, with access to skiing, snowshoeing, and nearby trails.
