Healthiest lake in the Kawarthas!
Stunning, fully equipped 3+ bedrooms, 1500 s.f. , year-round home/cottage which sleeps 10 but you will be most comfortable with max 8.
1½ hours from Toronto on the beautiful waters of prestigious Balsam Lake in the Kawarthas, Ontario, Canada. Conveniently situated 12 km and 24 km from the towns of Fenelon Falls and Lindsay respectively. Directly accessible is the famous, scenic Trent-Severn Waterway with its many locks and points of interest.
Beautifully landscaped rock frontage with stone patio at the water’s edge and built-in stairs into the pristine waters, where swimming extends from the shore which is about 3 inches deep, to the end of the large (8 ft x 35 ft) dock where it is about 5 ft deep. Also on the stone patio are a fire pit and kid’s sandpit. Large dock can accommodate at least two good-size boats.
Overlooking the fabulous lakefront view is a huge deck, ideal for entertaining, measuring 16 ft. x 46 ft. (736 s. f.) with patio furniture and propane BBQ. The rear deck measures 7 ft. x 29 ft. ( 203 s.f.)
Fully equipped cottage includes potable (drinkable), treated, tested water supply, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, toaster oven, coffee maker, kurig, electric kettle, blender, cutlery/crockery/pots and pans/cooking utensils (for 12 persons), water cooler, large dining table, washer & dryer, satellite, TV, DVD-VCR-CD Player Combo, surround sound, bar, ceiling fans (living and family rooms, one bedroom), central heat , wood fireplace, pellet stove, pillows and blankets.
Canoe and kayak with paddles on site for an enjoyable lake stroll.
Nearby offsite activities include golfing, casino, snowmobile trails, ski resort, marinas, boat rentals, boat cruises, restaurants, go-carting, horseback riding, mini golf, theater, hiking, stock-car racing, harness horse racing, art galleries, canoeing & kayaking and craft markets.

About the host
Hosted by Tanya Stevens
My husband and I dreamed about having a cottage on this wonderful lake and now after 10 years and making it our own we are incredibly happy and proud to call it our own. Balsam lake is not only the biggest lake but the healthiest lake in the Kawarthas !
We are currently living in Mississauga, work in Toronto and have a daughter who is 14 and a small dog. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Thanks to all our renters for making our dream come true.

Why they chose this property
The reason we chose this property is because we wanted clear waters on a premium lake with a gorgeous waterfront. The easy access stone entryway to the lake was nothing like we've seen before. The neighbours are wonderful and there is so much to do including an amazing beach close by.
