Luxury Lake Cottage with a rustic vibe just 2.5hrs away from GTA.
Hidden Paradise Cottage - Making life lasting memories with your loved ones.
You arrive, step out of the car, and immediately breathe in the fresh, pine-scented air. The sound of the breeze in the trees and gentle lapping of the lake welcomes you. Inside, the cottage is warm, clean, and inviting—rustic charm meets modern comfort. You drop your bags, grab a cold drink, and head straight to the deck overlooking the water.
Mornings start with coffee by the lake, maybe even a paddle around the bay while the world is still quiet. Spend the day swimming, reading in a hammock, or barbecuing lunch with friends. In the evening, gather around the fire pit with cozy blankets and roast marshmallows while sharing stories under a sky full of stars. Kids laugh, dogs play, and time slows down.
Whether it’s a weekend of adventure or total relaxation, this is your space to reconnect—with nature, loved ones, and yourself.

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage over New Year’s! The place was cozy, clean, and well-equipped, offering everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The peaceful surroundings and charming atmosphere made it the perfect spot to unwind and celebrate. The host was friendly and attentive, ensuring we felt right at home. We truly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a great escape!
I was nervous about booking this property initially-no reviews usually means a no-go for me!
The property is fairly easy to get to if you're travelling North on the 400. It took 3.5hrs from Durham Region with traffic. It is bright, open, and feels very clean. 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.
Wifi - Starlink, was perfect, very fast and reliable
Check-in was easy, the host was quick to respond to questions. Lots of space for parking
Things to note:
a) Saying this property sleeps 18 people is technically true, but if they're all normal-sized/large adults, you will probably be uncomfortable. We had 11 people: everyone got their own bed with the exception of two we put in the Primary room.
This is how the rooms are broken down in case you weren't clear on the pictures:
Rm 1: 1 King bed, full bathroom ensuite
Rm 2: 2 double beds
Rm 3: 2 double beds
Rm 4: x2 bunk beds (4 beds total)
Rm 5: x1 Queen bed
b) There is a very steep hill you have to go down to get to the water. If someone in your party has trouble walking, they will struggle with this. There was a lot of seaweed in August around the dock. Boats travel in front of the dock as well (10km/h limit)
c) Some of the rooms didn't have curtains - this wasn't nice for those wanting to sleep-in. Some of the guests said they were cold in the night, there weren't enough extra blankets.
d) The fire pit area was overgrown and only had 4 chairs. There isn't much flat space to play lawn games
Overall, a great place for a large group!

About the host
Hosted by Hidden Paradise Cottage
Coming from a big family, we have always loved staying together and entertaining everyone. which down the lane has become an obsession for us to entertain people and give them a peaceful environment to spend time and make memories with loved ones. That lead us to create this beautiful lake front cottage filled with serenity and bliss. Hoping you all enjoy the place as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
Our cottage sits in a quiet, friendly lakeside neighborhood where the pace of life slows down and the natural beauty takes center stage. Mornings are peaceful with birdsong and soft mist rising off the lake. Afternoons are perfect for swimming, fishing, or paddling across the calm water. The evenings? They're magical—sunsets paint the sky in pinks and oranges, and the nights are filled with the crackle of a fire and a sky full of stars. We love how welcoming the local community is—whether you're picking up treats from a nearby bakery, visiting a farmer’s market, or exploring scenic trails, there's always something simple and special to enjoy. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve truly gotten away.
What makes this property unique
Unlike typical rentals, our cottage offers a rare blend of privacy and comfort—you’ll enjoy your own secluded space surrounded by nature, with no immediate neighbors. Imagine waking up to lake views, sipping coffee on a sun-drenched deck, or watching stars by the fire pit at night. We also include free use of kayaks, firewood, and board games, so you can pack light and still have an unforgettable weekend. Our guests consistently mention how clean, cozy, and peaceful the property feels—it’s a true home away from home.
