HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR STAY at Casolena

● Start your day with a calming lake view and enjoy your home-brewed coffee or tea in the sunroom, on the deck, or by the water.

● Bask in the sunshine indoors and out. When the sun comes out, it shines into almost every corner of the cottage throughout the day.

● Cook delicious meals in the fully equipped kitchen and dine al fresco with a view of the water.

● Explore the private shoreline: in summer, bring your kayak or paddleboard, or take a dip in the crystal-clear lake. In winter, wander the shoreline and admire the stillness of frozen waves.

● Stroll through various nature paths on the 2-acre property, surrounded by trees and rocks. Savor the summer flowers and birds, or enjoy the crisp, quiet winter air.

● From the 2nd-floor balcony, catch a sunset and stargaze under the super dark night sky (when weather permits). If you're lucky, you might even spot shooting stars or the aurora!

● Gather around the outdoor stone fire pit for an unforgettable scenic campfire experience.

● Relax by the cozy indoor fireplace, play the guitar or read a book from our curated collection or wrap up in a blanket and play board games with the family.

● Take a short drive to local attractions like Tobermory village, the Grotto, or Singing Sands Beach for more nature-inspired adventure.

● At night, sink into our bedding and fresh linens that envelop you in comfort.
