Welcome to an exceptional, resort-style retreat on the pristine shores of Baptiste Lake. With over 450 feet of private waterfront, this property offers the perfect balance of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty.
Start your mornings in the new gazebo—arguably the best spot to take in the fresh morning sun—then ease into the day your way. Head down to the dock with a coffee, or stay up on the main deck and soak in the views… the choice is yours.
Spend your day swimming in crystal-clear water, relaxing on the private sandy beach with its gentle, shallow entry, or paddling out to explore the lake and visit the iconic jumping rocks.
As evening approaches, head out onto the water to experience the lake’s breathtaking sunset views at their best. Return to unwind in the hot tub under the stars or gather around the fire pit for a cozy, memorable night.
Inside, the bright Viceroy-style cottage features soaring windows and open-concept living spaces with beautiful lake views. Three comfortable bedrooms offer peaceful forest-facing privacy, and a separate bunkie may be available for additional space.
Whether you’re looking to relax, explore, or reconnect, this is a truly elevated cottage escape.

This is a little piece of pardise. Off season time is best for us; quiet lake and cool temps. Loved the hot tub and paddle boards and outdoor living spaces. Kitchen well stocked. Comfortable living and sleeping spaces. Safe and welcoming for children.
The property was even better irl than advertised. Instructions to access were provided timely and easy to follow. A detailed guide is provided before you arrive that spells everything out and is also useful when you are leaving to ensure everything is put back properly.
Tami was very responsive and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.
Even providing linens when they normally didn’t.
We were in the water pretty much every day and the lakefront did not disappoint for swimming or paddle boarding and later in the day when it was cooler we would soak in the hot tub and Spa.
We were looking for a nice homely well kept cottage to spend some quiet quality time and we felt we got what we wanted.
We found everything we needed from cooking ingredients to cooking utensils and cutlery including a Nespresso machine that was a very pleasant surprise for my wife who likes her morning coffee.
The atmosphere at the cottage was just what we were looking for and we would definitely stay there again! Thanks Tami
