About the host

Hosted by Scott Cuthbertson

Host profile image

My sister and I are the second generation owner of this family property which we built in 1974 and extensively renovated in the spring of 2017 redoing the kitchen, bathrooms, wiring, flooring and waterfront.

Why they chose this property

This property is about 90 minutes from Ottawa, 3.5 hours from Toronto and has great water, very clean, good fishing, good boat access, good road access but is much quieter than other areas such as Muskoka.

What makes this property unique

Screened in porch is great to spend evenings in. Two fridges and chest freezer for all your goodies. New high end dishwasher, sink etc. ensures you spend more time enjoying the property than cleaning up.
