Beautiful Cottage

We stayed at this beautiful cottage recently for a weekend getaway. Check in instructions were clear and process was smooth. The cottage is beautiful and very well stocked with everything you need for a weekend away. We had a wonderful weekend filled with boating, swimming, campfires and pure relaxation. We would definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a weekend away.

Summer getaway with kids

We had a lovely stay at Freddie's in July 2023. The cottage and bunkie are well kept and clean. There are all the amenities that you want at a cottage and other nearby activities, like the rapids and the beach. The only surprise to us was how close the neighboring cottages are and how busy the lake is. That being said, the property is private. Perfect cottage for our summer vacation and super fun for our kiddos! We'd love to visit again!

Beautiful place

We had a great time at this beautiful place! It is ideally situated between Algonquin Park and Huntsville on a quiet, relaxing lake. The small town of Dwight is a quick drive for supplies if you didn’t want to go to all the way to Huntsville (which is only 20-25 minutes away). The cottage and bunkie were clean, beautifully decorated and perfectly appointed. The kitchen was wonderfully organized & stocked with everything we needed and then some! We brought more than we needed to (all we really needed to bring was food and clothes). The lake is clean, sandy and shallow near the shore. Ideal for children and dogs. We really appreciated the flat lawn with a fire pit after having stayed at a cottage with multiple sets of stairs to get down to the water. We made use of the canoes, kayaks and paddle boards, all provided with the property. Definitely would recommend staying at Freddie’s to family and friends. Perfect family summer cottage time!

Fantastic cottage week!

Freddies was everything we hoped for when we booked it. The cottage was so cozy, comfortable and very clean, we didn't want to leave! We had access to both the main cottage and the bunkie which was perfect for our group - 2 families each with one child. The cottage is extremely well stocked and organized with all the cooking essentials as well as books, puzzles and games. The living space was really cozy for rainy days and the beds were also very comfortable. We loved the beach area and the dock and took advantage of the paddle boards, kayaks and canoes. The cottage is so close to Algonquin park that we were able to do some day hikes as well. Bridget and Will were very responsive, we were never left waiting for an answer on anything we asked. We loved our time at Freddies and hope to book again for next year!

About the host

Hosted by Bridget Lougheed

This cottage was purchasd by my wife and I in 2013, one year after we were married. I was born and raised in Burlington, Ontario while my wife was born and raised in Huntsville. We met working summer jobs and that was it. After school I made the decision to move to Huntsville permanently. We fell in love, travelled, worked, saved, and got married at Hillside Farm just outside Huntsville in 2012.

In the fall of 2012 my father became ill with cancer and passed in February. He provided for my wife and I enough for the down payment on this cottage. The previous owners had it in the family for 25 years and they felt it was time to pass it on. My wife and I look forward to making it a family treasure for generations to come. My dad's name was Fred so this cottage has been appropriately named after him as "Freddie's"

It is a much loved family cottage, where you don't have to worry about sandy feet and wet bathing suits. We hope that our guests will find as much joy and serenity at Freddie's as we have.

Why they chose this property

Growing up in Burlington, Ontario I started coming up to Algonquin park as a teenager. I worked at Algonquin Outfitters, guiding trips, driving trucks and working in the backshop. I always dreamed of what it would be like to own a cottage on Oxtongue Lake. When this property came up for sale we new instantly that this was the cottage we had been looking for.

What makes this property unique

This piece of property is unlike so many others. The cottage is only steps from the beautiful sandy shoreline, and the bunkie (the reason we fell in love with this property) is even closer! It is the perfect cottage for families with young ones. My wife and I have sat on the dock and enjoyed many sunrises with our coffee. The perfect way to start the day!
The next best thing is it's proximity to TWO provincial parks. We have enjoyed the 40 minute paddle to spectacular Ragged Falls right from the end of our dock. And sometimes we will jump in the car and drive a few minutes to World Famous Algonquin Park. This park is filled with day hikes, beaches, falls, so many chances to see wildlife, you name it!
