About this property

Whimsical Cottage by the Lake

Embrace your whimsy and check your troubles at the door in this unique two bedroom double living room lofted retreat. Steps from Baptiste Lake and 20 minutes from everything you need in Athabasca. Stay connected with fast wifi or unplug - it's up to you. With a hot shower, flush-able toilet and full kitchen this cottage isn't lacking in amenities. Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway.
The space
The cottage is a quick three minute walk to the lakefront. It’s the perfect place to launch your kayaks or canoe or to throw a blanket down and watch the sunset.

Back at the cottage, enjoy an evening campfire in the backyard and roast some marshmallows!

When it’s time for bed: cozy up in one of our two loft bedrooms or on the pull out couch downstairs.

Our kitchen is complete with all the tools you need to make a great breakfast, quick lunch or gourmet dinner - including a full size fridge to keep your ingredients chilled till you need them.

During your downtime: choose from lounging outside on a lawn chair, the downstairs living room by the fireplace, or upstairs loft living room with tv remote in hand.

If you’ve got work that can’t wait we have a comfy desk for you to get to all those emails.

Xplorenet brings the fastest rural internet available to cottage life.

Hot showers and a flushable toilet are a luxury you can enjoy from the comforts of the three piece bathroom.

Don’t forget about the nearby trails for hiking and atv-ing or take some of the equipment over to the baseball diamond for a pick-up game.
