Wonderful stay!

This cottage was spacious, clean, and well equipped and we loved the decor. Our family of six enjoyed our lazy days out by the water on the deck and in the water. We played together, and cooked together in the large and beautiful well equipped kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the washrooms were modern and updated. We just loved the great room with the very high ceiling and ample seating for tv and conversations. It was a very relaxing, inviting retreat. Thank you David. M. Lombardi

Warm and Cozy

Though the weather didn't cooperate, we still enjoyed the peace and quiet along with the stunning views. We lit a fire each night that kept us warm while reading and watching our favourite shows. Thanks much to David and Francis for hosting our Fall getaway.

A peaceful retreat

Had a lovely couple of days in a beautiful location in a super comfortable cottage. The cottage was the perfect size for us with a wonderful deck to sit on while enjoying the lake. Great location in terms of not too far from Toronto with lots to do in the area. Would certainly visit again.

Tolle Lage

Schnelle und sehr gute Kommunikation mit David dem Vermieter. Tolle Lage, Küche, Wohn- und Esszimmer sowie Masterbedroom sind sehr schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Schlafzimmer im 1.Stock sind zumindest teilweise nicht auf dem gleichen Niveau, eines z.B. sehr klein ohne zu öffnendes Fenster.

Beautiful and serene with everything you need.

This place was perfect for our family vacation. Modern and elegant with views of the water and a dock over the water to relax. Comfortable rooms, well appointed amenities and a kitchen worthy of a cooking show. Did I mention there was a Kayak to use too? Highly recommend, space for everyone to hang out or get privacy. Very special place, and close to many attractions.

Beautiful and cozy cottage

We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was updated with beautiful decor, but still had a cozy cottage feel. We loved the large fireplace and well designed kitchen and overall layout. The view of the lake was beautiful. We liked the location being close to Friday Harbour, but also far enough away to enjoy a quieter more remote feel. Hope to come back one day!

Picture Perfect

This is a truly beautiful property which lent itself to a wonderful vacation. Well appointed decor and a cook's kitchen made it easy to prepare family meals. Space to spread out and lovely great room for time to relax together in front of fire. Dinning table for formal dinner and kitchen for sitting and playing games. Lots of walks in the neighborhood, and even on a cold day could sit by the water. Amazing that a piece of heaven is so close to home.

Absolutely Amazing Lake House!

This property is everything as noted on the website and then much more. It’s not hard to see that Francis and David take great pride in their home, everything is perfect. The cleanliness of the place is 5* and the kitchen is so well stocked. It’s such a great place to have family and friends comfortably over. There’s so much space for everyone. Being a cook I especially loved the layout of the kitchen; big enough for everyone to cook together! We were even fortunate enough to take a swim mid-September in the clear water of Lake Simcoe! We can see why this place is already booked in 2012. This place is a gem and keeper in every way! Thank you Francis & David for sharing your home with us. Already booked for 2012!

About the host

Hosted by David Harland

I am David Harland. My business partner Francis McNamara and I reside in Toronto where we sell real estate with Harvey Kalles Real Estate Brokerage. The Lake House has been in my family since 1947. In 2010 Francis and I took possession of The Lake House and did extensive renovations and updates to bring it back to its warm and inviting lakeside escape from the fast pace of life.

Why they chose this property

The Lake House is conveniently located north 75 minutes from downtown Toronto and 1km away from Friday Harbour Resort with all its amenities. This 4 bedroom Lake House retains so much of its original charm from when it was built in 1926 with the newer addition of the large Great Room. Spend your summer days relaxing on the cantilevered deck and dock or swimming in crystal clear refreshing water of Lake Simcoe or those cold winter days ice fishing , cross country skiing and sitting by the large stone fireplace in the Great Room.
