Welcome. Nestled in nature and caressed by serenity, Wild Blue is what you need to relax and unwind. It is a true cottage in the trees. As one of our guests wrote, "Forget the cellphone/ internet. You will!" Our board and batten cottage on Salerno Lake is 2hrs north east of Toronto nestled in the woods of Irondale, midway between Kinmount and Gooderham.
We are on a quiet, 140' private shore offering many swimming, canoeing, birding, boating & fishing options. Our well-treed lot is 3 km from paved roads and is 330' deep, rising steeply back to crown lands. Neighbours are well hidden by the bush. Our cottage is 4 km from the boat launch. Fishing Salerno can produce bass, and maybe muskie.

| My family had a great time at this cottage! The bedrooms are a nice size, beds are super comfortable, and it was really nice to have a bedroom on the main floor for my parents. The screened in porch was great on the rainy days and to get away from the bugs. Many meals were had on the deck, listening to the loons.
It was so nice to have access to a boat, canoe, paddle boat, and kayaks during our stay. The fishing was great! Lots of bass, perch, and even a muskie!
The owner was great to deal with as well. Would definitely recommend renting this cottage. We hope to return again.

| Wild Blue Cottage was fantastic!! I have rented cottages for years with my family and by far, Wild Blue has been the best of them all. I was very impressed with the actual space of the cottage, especially with having 6 adults and our furry friends. The upstairs bedrooms are very spacious and private. The kitchen is very well equipped and a good space to work in which also has a breakfast bar and a dining area. There are loads of DVDs if you want to watch a movie in the living room which has plenty of seating, and there is a great little CD player to play some tunes. The screened porch is the place to be at anytime, whether it's sunny or rainy, you are covered, and you can always hear the birds singing. Super relaxing!! Although we did not have a lot of sunshine, we were still able to get in some swimming, canoeing and had a few fires and were able to see lots of stars on those nights. Our host, Steve, was great and very responsive when needed. I hope to come back again next year!

| We spent a week at Wild Blue last summer with family and friends and it was everything we could have hoped for in a cottage, and more.
The cottage is clean and well stocked for meal prep, the living room is cozy and we especially enjoyed the wood stove on a cool rainy morning.
We ate all of our meals on the screened in porch, and enjoyed many a happy hour on the deck by the water. All sunny days were spent lounging on the dock and in the lake. The water is shallow by the shore which was perfect for our little baby. Wild Blue gave us a week of perfect cottage memories and we can't wait to go back!
