Welcome to WHITE BEAR COTTAGE! The cottage is a fully detached building, perched on the side of the lot, facing south along the edge of the lush forest. The main floor boasts an open concept living room and kitchen area, with a large island for dining and conversation. For those who prefer to dine al fresco, a covered front patio includes a dining table and outdoor seating, creating the perfect setting for warmer days. Inside, you’ll find a cozy and inviting space featuring bedrooms with a minimalist, yet functional setup, including queen beds, reclaimed, live-edge wood wardrobe and bedside tables. Upstairs, you'll enjoy a mezzanine space, to sneak away and work or indulge in some yoga or stretching after your time in the water. The cottage uses a combination of heat pump heating with bedroom baseboards for efficient and sustainable comfort in this well-insulated home.

If you appreciate award winning architecture, a comfortable and thoughtful layout, and the rare opportunity to stay just steps away from some of Canada’s most famous beaches, then this treasured spot is an absolute must. Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of nature while enjoying all the modern comforts and sustainable charm that the White Bear Cottage has to offer!
