Year round lakehouse/cottage on Balsam Lake in the Kawarthas. Enjoy the lake via the spectacular dock or by kayak, paddle board, canoe or on the ice in winter. The lakehouse has all the comforts of home but the real attraction is the sandbar location on Balsam Lake and it’s peaceful tranquility and crystal clear water. Fall asleep listening to the loons while the fire crackles. See the reflection of Venus shimmering on the lake and be inspired by the Milky Way. Enjoy the sunset from a hammock!

    Lovely property on a beautiful lake. All amenities were top notch and lots of outdoor activities. Evening vibe around the bonfire was awesome - great location and string lights lakeside made it magical. Doug was an awesome host and answered all questions in a timely and thorough manner.

    We spent a most relaxing weekend, with our three teenagers and small dog at this beautiful place. The location, on Balsam Lake is fantastic. The cottage is luxurious, well- maintained and equipped. The landlord was kind to provide all directions and further support. We will certainly consider returning to this location!

    Outstanding host… engaging, helpful, responsive, and informative. Amenities are plentiful. Beautiful and clean home in the perfect location. Easy dock for boat when docking or disembarking. Sunsets are spectacular. Private waterfront yard. Lots of space. Conveniently located for easy access to town/shopping. Everything was as advertised, and more. Easy access to marina. What a perfect week’s stay we had. Love this place!
