Wilderness Waterfront Retreat

Ideally suited for 2 full families to vacation together!

Boat access cottaging is perhaps the best-kept secret of Georgian Bay Cottaging: There is nothing quite like truly "disconnecting" with regular life by landing at the dock of a cabin out of reach from the intrusions of normal civilization.

Tucked away in the wilderness paradise of Cognashene Lake on Georgian Bay, over 300ft of clear, deep waterfront that also includes a sandy beach with shallow water entry.

Main cottage has 3 bedrooms, a full bathroom, open concept kitchen/living room with all the amenities of home including dishwasher, induction range, oven, microwave, and a very well-equipped kitchen. Washer and dryer. Hot showers. Wood-stove.

Western facing view through large windows with incredible sunsets.

There is also a freshly renovated 2 bedroom bunkie which sleeps up to 6 (double, bunk beds, pull-out couch), with a kitchenette and living room. Bunkie kitchenette is equipped with sink/faucet, mini fridge, microwave, kettle. The bunkie also enjoys a beautiful waterfront view.

Large grassy lawn in full view of deck. Great bass & pike fishing right off the dock and nearby. This boat access cottage backs onto thousands of acres of hikeable crown land. Clean deepwater swimming off the shore or dock as well as a small sandy beach for the kids. Large outdoor fire-pit. Or go for an evening paddle around to the back inlet to observe the resident beavers.

Gas BBQ with included propane.

A myriad of water toys and lawn games for your enjoyment:
- Canoe
- 2 Stand-up Paddleboards
- Pedal boat
- Youth kayak
- Large water mat
- Noodles/inflatables/etc
- Bocce Ball
- Horseshoes

Both cottage and bunkie stay cool on hot summer days being well situated under shade trees, with lots of ventilation.

FAQ

Q. How do I get here?

If you are boating in yourself, we will provide navigational resources to help ensure an easy and safe journey. The boat ride is a highlight in itself, putting the rugged and rocky islands of Georgian Bay on full display.

Q. How much fridge space is there?

A. A lot! The main cottage is equipped with 2 full sized fridges, and the bunkie is equipped with a small mini-fridge.

A. Yes

Q. Is the water drinkable?

A. The water system is fed from the lake, and is filtered for sediment before it enters the plumbing system. There is then additional undersink filtration systems fitted to the cold water faucets in both kitchens, which make the cold water safe to drink.
