About this property

"Tranquility on Chandos Lake"

Private, Gently Sloped Property, Great Views, Child/Elderly Friendly, A/C, WiFi, Satellite TV, Back Up GENERAC Generator, Easy water entry to Great Swimming, No Weeds, Premium Napolean BBQ, Fire Pit, Cell Reception, Great Fishing, 2 Kayaks, 2 person Stand up paddle board, 20 ft Water Floater Mat, Winter Accessible, Pet Friendly.

"Tranquility on Chandos" is a recently renovated & upgraded 2600 sq. ft cottage. The cottage has a northern exposure, with 184’ shoreline tucked in a quiet bay/cove that provides privacy and stunning views of the lake from both inside & out. From the lake view wrap around deck or you can enjoy the large dock and the lake with plenty of Muskoka chairs to lounge on by the water. All cottage windows were replaced in the fall of 2019 and the big bay window that looks out on to the lake provides a view that one will always remember. The incredible views of the surrounding pines and balsams provides an atmosphere that will leave you in a state of, yes, TRANQUILITY. Or just enjoy your coffee or beverage on the deck & let the loons call you down to the water.
The cottage comes equipped with a spacious kitchen adjacent to a large family and dining area that can seat up to ten or you might choose to relax in the living room on the long large leather sectional with a cathedral ceiling overhead & bay windows that allow for stunning views of nature including the beautiful Chandos Lake. When outdoors one can languish on the wrap around deck with beautifully appointed couches and chairs. Water activities include great swimming, fishing, boating and kayaking. If you prefer venturing further on land, there is an excellent cottage road for walking and biking.

Our cottage also has a GENERAC Back-Up GENERATOR that can power the entire cottage, which means you will never be without power.

Our Christmas vacation
Even though all our Christmas plans were eventually interrupted by a sudden and unexpected illness that hit our entire family, we were not disappointed. John, the owner, was very understanding and considerate of our situation. He offered us not cancel our visit , but to postpone it to a later date. We were glad to have this additional opportunity to enjoy the stay in this cottage and not to miss out on such an experience. We wish to thank John for this offer and are looking forward to doing business with him in the future.

Chandos Lake
We had an excellent time at the cottage. Very spacious for 2 families with teens. Loved the kitchen; fully equipped to make large meals. Property is beautiful, the surrounding were quiet and quaint. The large windows looking out onto the lake were perfect for morning breakfasts and afternoon lounging on the couch. Serene and peaceful. Highly recommend this cottage.

Awesome Stay at Tranquility
From the first response and email John called me right away to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay. John was a great host available at anytime by phone. That being said, we only had to call once. Everything was PERFECT! The cottage was the perfect escape for the kids. They have everything in the cottage you will ever need and more. The views are spectacular over the water and from balcony of the cottage. Beds were so comfortable it was like sleeping at home. I really can't say enough about our stay as we had a blast. We only stayed 4 days, so by the time it started feeling familiar, we had to start packing, Would love to come stay here again! Thanks John for all your hospitality and letting us stay at your beautiful home. Also, congratulations on winning Game 7..lol I was informed to keep the your chair out our pictures..lol Thanks Lloyd

About the host

Hosted by John Lovatsis

Host profile image
Our family unit includes my wife, son and myself. We purchased the cottage as we enjoy the lake life and wanted to make it a destination that we can share with our immediate family and friends. Cottages do keep families close. We are very pleased to share what we love about the cottage and Chandos Lake with other families so that they can also enjoy what we love about our small piece of paradise here on Chandos. It truly is a great community!!!

Why they chose this property

The cottage is located in a very quiet and picturesque bay, on what many consider the "JEWEL" of a lake in North Kawartha. This is what makes Chandos a much sought after vacation location!!!

What makes this property unique

Big Lake, Great Swimming & Fishing, our cottage has all the amenities you will need for a most wonderful stay.
