About this property

Beautiful cottage only 45 mins from barrie.

Long lake is in beautiful town of Bala. Our cottage blesses us with warm sun all day long on while sitting on the dock....And a lake that is perfect for canoeing, boating, tubing or just bird watching.....We have it all.

The cottage has a top loft with a queen been and 2 single beds as well as a futon in the living room....Its paradise with just good times.

The cottage also comes with:
Full linen service: bed sheets, pillow cases, bath and hand towels
2 Kayaks
Large dock with muskoka chairs, 12’x12’
Shallow water entry, very safe for small children but gets deeper at the end of the dock (20ft from shoreline)

This cottage combines the relaxing world of cottage life on the lake with the convenience of having the town within reasonable walking distance with beer store, lcbo, a fresh mart grocery store and a hand full of restaurants and ice cream shops .

The kee to bala is also a very well know concert hall and it opens on may 24 weekend. They hosted some very well-known artists last year such as snoop dog (not a misprint, I couldn't believe it either), kim mitchell, blue rodeo, sam roberts, etc.

A Perfect Hidden Secret

Fell in love with this Secret Gem from the moment we arrived. So comfy and welcoming. The cottage itself was lovely and well maintained. And if that was not enough you walk outside to the most incredible view of the lake. Then to enjoy the view even further we sat on the dock and enjoyed the amazing reflection of the autumn leaves colours and sun bouncing off the water. A perfect spot to enjoy some drinks and listen to music. I can see why they call it their little secret, it’s a special place to us! Philip and Claudia were great host.

Recommended small waterfront cottage

Excellent waterfront cottage and a short walk into the town of Bala. Loved that it offered a private dock with use of kayaks and paddle board. Would definitely recommend.

No complaints! This place was clean, quaint very cosy and intimate.

They had everything we needed and then some. Absolutely beautiful location!! About 20 minutes away from any amenities. A perfect getaway for anyone who’s looking to reconnect and ground themselves!

Bala's little secret

Great location and super property on downside would be it is between 2 rentals which are large and one of which is a shared property. We had great families so wasn't an issue but it could have been. Property owner is very available and great to deal with. Be aware there is a ladder staircase to the loft space so if you have mobility issues not the property for you but listing shows this. The fire table on the large front porch overlooking the water is just delightful and really added to our overall enjoyment of the property. Lots of water toys at your disposal.
