A newer 4 Season Log Cabin Cottage with year round access nestled on the shore of Beautiful Chandos Lake in North Kawartha. This 3 Bedroom cottage and Seasonal Bunkie is on a quiet bay of Chandos lake, has a large dock for swimming, boating and relaxing. Interior is Modern/Rustic. Well suited for those looking for a waterfront escape or a winter retreat close to some of Ontario's best snowmobile trails. Included are a number of non motorized water crafts (Canoe, 4 Kayaks, Paddle Boat, Stand Up Paddle Board, 12ft Aluminum Fishing Boat), Snowshoes, Satellite Television, DVD player, Loads of DVD's, Board Games and outdoor games. The property and area has excellent cell reception with all providers. The Newly renovated kitchen has everything you need to prepare and serve a meal, as well a BBQ with Propane is available for your use. Cottage has central air and both propane furnace and indoor woodstove for chilly evenings. 3 Marinas on lake offering power boat rentals as well as snowmobile rentals close by in the winter. The back patio overlooking the lake has ample seating and a fire pit to enjoy the evening. The cottage water source is an onsite well and is potable. 2 hour drive from Yonge and 401 Toronto. The property is located just outside the town of Apsley where you will find Grocery, LCBO, Gas, Restaurants, a number of boutique shops, and some great golfing close by. Just outside of Apsley you can experience both the Gut Conservation Area (recommended for nature lovers and hikers) as well as Burleigh Falls; both ideal for a picnic with waterfall views. All summer full week listings are from Friday to Friday (Friday to Thursday nights when booking)


My property and area are best suited for families and couples. I am ideally looking to host guests that fit into these categories.

Guests to provide linens and bath towels.

Starlink internet and great cell service with most service providers. (Bell, Telus, Koodo all great, Rogers can be spotty at times). That will allow for easy hot spotting and ability to stay connected.

Minimum age for rental is 27
