About this property

The Oakdene Cottage - hot tub with a lake view!

Welcome to Shane and Alan’s Oakdene Cottage getaway - a newly renovated, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom family cottage with spectacular views out over Starr Bay, just over an hour outside of Toronto. Enjoy a hydromassage in our brand new jacuzzi hot tub followed by a bonfire and sunset over Lake Scugog.

Enter through the large family rec room where you will find plenty of comfy seating, two queen size, memory foam pull out couches, and a 65” TV with a Bose sound system. There is also a games area with a foosball table, board games as well as a workspace.

The large back deck features an outdoor dining area, plenty of space to lounge and a large, brand new 7-person jacuzzi. Bose portable speakers will be available for you to use.

Upstairs you will find 4 bedrooms with memory foam mattresses, an indoor dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen. Just off the kitchen is an upper deck equipped with a propane BBQ and additional seating.

Sleeping Arrangements
Master Bedroom: 1 Queen Bed with a 2pc bathroom
Bedroom 2: 1 Queen Bed
Bedroom 3: 1 Queen Bed
Bedroom 4: 1 Bunkbed (Twin over Twin)
Lower Level: 2 Queen Beds (pullout sofas)

All of our beds come with freshly laundered bed linens, pillows, and duvets.

Situated in quiet Starr Bay off Lake Scugog, it’s the perfect place for boating and fishing. We offer two kayaks and a paddle boat. Down the street there is a public boat launch.

We pride ourselves on being honest and upfront with our guests and thus want to be clear regarding the lake conditions on Starr Bay. Even though the water is swimmable; The water in Starr Bay is clear but very shallow and weedy in a portion of the shallowest areas, making it harder to swim. We have included a few photos so that guests can see what we are referring to in the lake.

For guests that decide not to swim in the shallow area, the kayaks & paddleboat is an excellent transportation tool to venture out to the deeper regions of Starr Bay or further into Lake Scugog to swim.

Freshly laundered bed linens and pillows
Towels (face, hand, body, and outdoor)

Thanksgiving weekend
We had a lovely stay at Oakdene Cottage. We had everything we needed. The cottage was fully equipped and the listing is accurate. Lots of room for our family of 7. The hot tub was wonderful and it was great to wake up to a beautiful view of the lake!

Paradise Island
This place has everything you need, very detailed and well thought out for family get togethers. As soon as we walked in we could smell how clean and organized everything was. There are notes to help show what each button does and literally EVERYTHING you could want or need is in this gorgeous place. From kayaks to hot tub to an arcade, this was an amazing stay. And due to neighbors I would only recommend this place for quiet groups.

Oakdene Cottage Rocks!
We rented the Oakdene Cottage for an extended weekend in June 2024. It is a clean and spacious 4 bedroom cottage with a spectacular view of the tranquil bay. Cottage was organized and had an abundance of indoor and outdoor towels. Hot tub, 2 adult kayaks, pedal boat, fire pit, dock and green grass area allowed for outdoor fun for all! Communication before, during and after our stay was professional and informative. Would highly recommend renting this cottage! Silvana B.

Great space for a group!
Every year a group of us go up north for the Family Day long weekend, and this cottage is one we will 100% be going back to! Best part for us was the large and very comfy couch area, which we used for watching movies and just reading and chatting. The upstairs had a very large table which sat everyone with ease, and was a nice secondary spot to hang out in. The bedrooms are all upstairs which is good for those who like to go to sleep early, so they can be away from the TV area. The kitchen had everything we needed, and most things were labeled which made findings things and putting them away very easy. The kitchen is on the smaller side, but prep can move to the dining room table as required, and it was not an issue at all to cook for 8 adults. There were enough garbage and recycling bags, as well as tea towels and other bathroom linen, which was a real bonus. Beds were comfy (medium firm memory foam) and we all slept well. My husband has a bad back and so his endorsement says a lot! The hot tub was the nicest one I've ever been in. You get the sense that these hosts want to provide a quality experience and have invested wisely to ensure they can do so over the long haul (Bose speakers, nice mattresses, good quality couches, great hot tub etc). All communication was smooth and very helpful! We would all highly recommend this property for your fall / winter gatherings! Thank you :)

Amazing stay!!
We were looking for a cozy spot to spend thanksgiving with 1 set of grandparents, 4 adult kids and 2 grandkids and this place delivered. We loved the hot tub and games included which entertained everyone. We made a bonfire and roasted marshmallows and had cozy movie nights with LOTS of sitting areas with the big screen tv. The grandkids loved the bunk beds and the adults loved having our own rooms with very comfy queen size beds!! There are 4 bedrooms total but 2 couches downstairs open up to become beds. Loved having all amenities provided. Made it easier!! Would highly recommend. Close to Lindsey and Port Perry Thanks for a great long weekend.

The Greatest Getaway
This cottage was the best vacation we could have asked for. Less than 2 hours away from the big city, we felt like we got the full cottage experience. The unit was equipped and labelled with everything and anything you could have asked for. The hot tub, fire pit and views of the lake were serene. Kayaks and pedal-boats to keep the water lovers happy. Comfortable beds and washrooms to make you feel at home. A beautiful bbq so you can grill to your hearts desires. Outdoor and indoor dining with a view. Alan was a pleasure to deal with and to communicate wit, he made sure we had zero issues with our stay. Not only do I recommend this place to my family and friends, but I plan on staying here again in the future!

Do not book this location, owners are scammers.
Having booked this location as a unit of University students living in the same room, the owners of this property made the place seem welcoming and safe place to stay but trust me when I say do not come here because they are dishonest owners who do not stay true to what they say. We lost a lot of money dealing with these troublesome owners. Don't waste your time and money here.

The perfect family retreat
Just returned from a much needed recharge at this cozy cottage. The hospitality was top-notch from booking to check out. The cottage was fully stocked and well organized, while the owners were highly attentive. Alan even timed the heat and hot tub to our arrival. Our kids did not want to leave. Their highlights - skating on the lake, dipping in the hot tub, gaming on the main floor and our daughter wants us to make special mention of her bedroom complete with a crib for her stuffies;) Our highlights - panoramic lake (and sunset) views, soaking in the hot tub, warming over the fire pit, lounging on the main floor and eating large in the kitchen. There is nothing we did without and appreciated all the touches from toiletries to labelled everything. A fantastic find we highly recommend and look forward to revisiting.
