Perfect place for vacationing

Beautiful place, area and surroundings. The cottage has everything a family need. Practically you are staying at a fully furnished home. Just bring your own towels and bed sheets and covering, thats all. Gas station/General store is in less than 5 minutes drive away. The cottage sits on the bank of a beautiful small lake. Kids swam and kayaked. A cone comes with the cottage as well. The one and the only one thing we had trouble with was the wifi kept dropping. The communication with the owners was prompt and quick. She made all in her power to help us with the wifi but i guess it wasn't meant for us this time. Overall we had a blast. Definitely this place will be visited again by our family. Thanks

About the host

Hosted by Kyra Dahlke

I grew up at Zum Waldhaus cottage rental and bed and breakfast. Having many fond memories of Cardiff Lake, my husband and I decided to purchase them in 2012 from my father. Currently I am an artist and art teacher, and offer art and yoga retreats throughout the year. I live in Orillia with my family where I have my studio.

Why they chose this property

Having grown up here, I always loved the magic of the forest and lake. The smell of the ferns, the sound of the loons, the fresh air and the trees bring me to my happy place every time. I love cycling along the rail trail, I love swimming, hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing. There are many places that are beautiful throughout Canada that I have enjoyed but this will always be home.

What makes this property unique

Its the view of the lake in all of the seasons that do it for me. I can't wait to dive into the water each morning. Also watching the baby loons grow up each day a little more. There are some time periods in the winter when the forest is so silent that my ears ring. Oh and the stars! There are so many stars! Sometimes I have even seen northern lights.
