Welcome to our charming, lovely, beautiful cottage on Lake Scugog in Little Britain, less than 1.5 hour drive NE of Toronto. Enjoy sitting on the deck/dock watching sunsets and fishing and swimming in the fresh water lake.
Over 100 feet of water frontage! This cottage is a stunning place to relax for all seasons. Access to fire pit and a bbq in the summer. This is a very private cottage with gorgeous views of the waterfront. It is beautiful for a getaway with families, or for couple.
The cottage sleeps 6 including a king size bed in the master bedroom, 2 Queen size beds in 2 side bedrooms respectively, stone fireplace in the family room, and an electronic fireplace in the living room. Light a fire in the fire pit or socialize on the deck within 30 feet of the dock and waterfront. Watch the stars in the evening.
Direct access to water from the front of the boat house or from the dock.
A sun set view on the lake in a beautiful day is worth million dollars.
Canoe to the end of the river mouth ( going right from cottage on the lake) will bring you to a jaw dropping endless water lily field in summer.
The Lake Scugog Sandbar beach is kids friendly and is 10 minutes driving away.
