About this property

White Lake Cottage - Kawarthas waterfront cottage with large, private frontage

A post-and-beam style bungalow cottage with cathedral ceilings on White Lake with beautiful waterfront and fantastic west-facing views. Over 500 feet of waterfront ensures absolute privacy and tranquility during your stay. The cottage is situated in a quiet and tranquil area surrounded by woodland, and is only 30 minutes away from the village of Lakefield, 2 hours from Toronto, and 3 hours from Ottawa.

The main cottage includes 1200 sq ft of fully furnished living space, with 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, and open concept kitchen, dining room and living room. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and quartz counter tops. Kitchen and living room each have a walkout to the deck overlooking the lake for easy entertaining indoors or outdoors. A screened-in Muskoka room offers shaded open-air dining and relaxing space. The lake is visible from all parts of the living room, dining room and Muskoka room.

A flight of natural stone steps take you from cottage level down to the fire pit and dock. The 50 foot dock is shaded in the calm of morning as sunrise strikes the western shore, and turns sunny by mid-morning. Sunsets are spectacular whether viewed from dock or deck. There is a shallow entry into the lake which is ideal for swimming for children, pets and people who cannot swim well. The lake gets deeper as you enter the lake, and is 23 feet deep in the middle of the lake. You can take a boat or canoe out onto the lake to swim, fish or just enjoy the scenery.

Entertainment includes a canoe, DVDs, Video games, board games, and a variety of books. Something for everyone should the weather not cooperate.

Comfy and Clean
We stayed here summer 2022. There are many stairs to the water. They are very sturdy but this year we have a baby so I didn't care to try them again. The place was beautiful. Well kept and clean. Glen was super helpful.

Relaxation plus!
This cottage was so well equipped. Very clean and Greg was a superb host. Got back to me right away when I had questions. It got pretty warm when we were there but plenty of fans to help cool off. Would highly recommend this place. Hope to get back.

Thoroughly enjoyable week. Great Lake for fishing, swimming and kayaking. Beautiful sunsets . !
Owner very cooperative and responsive. Cabin booklet very informative. Enjoyable for all ages. There are 61 stairs to lake but they are lovely stone steps. Lots of lake toys available and cottage well equipped including a large Vermont Casting barbecue. Would definitely return!

Love at first sight! The frontage and the view were spectacular, and the cottage and property were full of potential.

Calm, quiet and private. Great fishing and your own private woods to hike in. Adventure awaits bold canoers down Indian River at the south of the lake!
