About this property
Large log home in private bay on Rideau Lakes near Kingston+1000 Islands
Unique, hand-crafted Scandinavian-style log home nestled in a private bay on spectacular Cranberry Lake on the Rideau Lakes System, a UNESCO World Heritage site. 4,000 square feet of living space offers spacious, executive accommodation.
More than 1,000 feet of waterfront and 20 acres of hardwood forest. Superb bass and pike fishing, canoeing, swimming, boating, hiking, and mountain biking. In winter, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and skating on the lake are available.
Picturesque Stafford Bay has a wild and natural shoreline. A beaver lodge can be seen in the bay and you may spot painted turtles, herons, frogs and iconic Canadian loons among the lily pads. Swimming is wonderful in the warm waters off our private swim platform. A small island dots the bay for children to explore. This family-owned cottage is all about nature.
