About this property

A perfect cozy getaway with all things included- there is very little to pack!

Welcome to beautiful Whitestone Lake, this cottage is available all four seasons! Enjoy boating to ice cream, nearby breakfasts, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, golfing, skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, sailing, waterskiing, wakeboarding & so much more! You'll love the cottage- so quiet & serene with gorgeous sunlight, trees, the lake, the dock, the beachfront, the fireplace, and especially the fresh air. It's great for couples getaways, solo adventurers, families (with kids), & furry friends.

This is a great cottage to unwind in. In the summer, there is a dock as well as a beach, a paddle boat, and a canoe for your use. The BBQ is excellent for cooking up some dinner or snacks, and the patio can seat everyone for a nice outdoor meal. In the fall you can enjoy some great hikes and walks in the area as the leaves change colour. Cozy sweaters and blankets fireside in the living room is fantastic, and a nice hot coffee in the morning by the dock makes for perfect start to the day! The cottage has been completely renovated in 2011, it is strong and secure for all types of weather. In the winter you can enjoy the snow all around you, do some snow-shoeing or cross country skiing. An excellent spot for snowmobiling and ice fishing as well!

Guests have access to the entire cottage, which includes the 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The great room and kitchen, and deck are all for your use. The dock and beachfront is available for you, and there is plenty of grass space for cars or a trailer/tent too.
Whitestone Lake is a fantastic lake to enjoy. It is large enough to accomodate water skiiers and tubers, and yet quiet enough for kayakers and paddleboarders. The neighbourhood is quiet, other people cottaging and a few locals. Nearby you can get to Dunchurch for some great little breakfast and dinner spots, as well as ice cream and local variety stores. McKellar has ice cream as well, and a cafe, and a farm shop with fresh meats. Parry Sound is your best bet for close by major amenities such as WalMart, Sobeys, Home Depot, Pet Value, and Starbucks, which is about 20 minutes away.

Lovely winter cottage!
We recently stayed here and it was a truly wonderful experience. The cottage was cozy, clean and well-equipped with all the amenities we needed. The surrounding winter landscape was breathtakingly beautiful and offered endless opportunities for outdoor activities. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive to all our needs, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We highly recommend this cottage rental to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable winter getaway. Thank you for the amazing stay!

View is nice but Cottage was ok..
The cottage does need quite a bit to fix up. The main hand railing is broken and is not safe to use, The lower half of the screen door is bent so it does not close all the way leaving a gap of at least an inch. So we couldn't use it due to the bugs. We did find quite a bit of mouse droppings around the inside of the cottage. The inside of the stove was dirty and we did not want to use it in case of a fire. Some of the cook ware is really worn and had loose handles. We had difficulties getting the BBQ going due to a problem with the regulator. Also the lower section of the BBQ under the burners was completely rotted which could of led to a grease fire. There is little privacy from the neighbors on both sides. The property manager also decided to cut the grass while we were on the back patio. I would expect this be completed in between rentals.

Cozy Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We don’t normally rent a cottage during the off-season, but this cottage was a wonderful change of pace for us! It was so nice to have a wood burning fire to cozy up near with a good book, and Erica truly thought of everything by supplying firewood, kindling, and lighters. It was really nice to stay somewhere where there is obvious pride of ownership and concern for guest experience. Overall, we highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing stay!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi I'm Erica! My husband Steve and I have been married for over 10 years now, we have 2 little children and we love to cottage! I love to travel and hit up the spas, fall is my favourite, and I love love French bulldogs! I manage my own business from home and Steve has a renovation business. Life is a bit crazy for us but we love our down time at the cottage!

Why they chose this property

We bought this cottage after visiting Whitestone Lake over the years where our friends have their cottage. We loved the lake and waited for the right opportunity. This cottage came up for sale so we grabbed it! Since it's purchase we have made it into a 4-season location and updated a bunch of things... our plan is to always make it a little better each time we go! We love the view from the living room and the big yard, and it's on a city- maintained road so the snow is cleared for us too!

What makes this property unique

Some of the unique benefits include the beachfront and low water level around the dock (great for kids and pets!). The land is 2 acres, although most of it is the front yard- we hope to plant christmas trees one day!
