This original stone cottage suite is suitable for 2 people only and is located on East Bay (Eagle Lake) approximately 10 km west of South River on paved roads, a 45 min. drive north of Huntsville and 45 minutes south of North Bay. (Approximately 3 hours north of Toronto). The nearby villages of Sundridge and South River have all the necessary conveniences (Foodland, LCBO, Beer Store, Home Hardware, gas stations and various eateries). It is close to Eagle Lake Golf Course, Eagle Lake Narrows Country Store and beach, Mikisew Provincial Park, Hockey Opportunity Camp, Coughlin's Riding Ranch, South River Craft Brewery, Copperhead Distillery, McLaren's Maple Syrup (in spring) and many cycling/ walking trails (the Forgotten Trails). Arrowhead Provincial Park is 45 min. away and in winter has spectacular skating trails. Ski, snowshoeing and hiking trails are newly opened at Almaguin High School in South River and Mikisew. Sugar Dogs dog sledding is nearby. Algonquin Provincial Park is about 45 min away.
The stone cottage suite is tucked away on 350 feet of lake frontage on 2 acres of wooded property, well back from the road which is on a dead end.
At this piece of paradise, you will enjoy beautiful sunsets or a family of loons from the upper or lower decks overlooking several hundred feet of water frontage. Have an afternoon siesta in the screened porch or a refreshing beverage in the 'courtyard' of perennial flowers. Explore the many islands in the bay by canoe or kayak. Fish for bass in the paddleboat. In the evening, roast marshmallows at the fire pit by the water's edge or enjoy a fire in the courtyard. Swim in the quiet, clean bay with entry to sand bottom frontage. (A canoe, paddleboat, and 2 new lake kayaks are available for use, along with life jackets and paddles) Please note: There are approximately 30 stone steps down to the water from the upper deck. The cottage is about 65 feet from the water's edge. Some mobility is required.
Winter is also a tranquil and peaceful wonderland. Enjoy clear, starry nights, deer crossing the bay, snowshoeing or cross country skiing from your back door. Snowshoes, a kicksled and a firepit are available for your use. Ski and snowshoe trails are also located 8 minutes away in Mikisew. In March or April, take a visit to a local sugar shack and watch the production of maple syrup. By chance or appointment, take a tour of our local South River Craft Brewery and enjoy free samples! Check out the Copperhead Distillery in Sundridge. Sugar Dogs Dogsledding is outside of Sundridge.
This cozy and quaint cottage is one of the original cottages on Eagle Lake built in the 1930's and has been completely renovated but its rustic charm has been preserved. The suite, which is suitable for two people only, has a living/dining room with fireplace, bedroom (double bed), new 3 piece bathroom (shower only, no bath), and a small kitchenette with a full sized fridge, toaster oven, kettle, microwave, induction hot plate, coffeemaker, slow cooker and all necessary equipment but there is no full size oven. Another double bed is located in the loft, accessible by a ladder (see photo). A barbeque and lawn furniture are available. Internet, somewhat limited , is included and cell service is reliable. Towels, linens, toilet paper, firewood and propane are provided. Drinking water is supplied. The main source of heat is a wood stove with propane furnace back up. I appreciate guests keeping the wood fire going primarily as propane is very expensive. I supply a daily supply of wood and happy to help guests get a fire going.
The suite is for 2 people only. Sorry no guests, no pets and no smoking. The cottage is not suitable for children as there is a wood stove, loft ladder, rocky shoreline.
The cottage is situated well back from a dead end road. In the winter, an all wheel drive vehicle with snowtires is recommended or park at the top of the driveway. The driveway is about 200 metres and a beautiful walk overlooking the lake. Sleds are available to transport gear. Usually I am able to help transport your belongings with my AWD vehicle depending on the snow conditions and your arrival time.
It is adjacent (attached) to the owner's home (separated by the cottage's 12 inch stone wall.) It is very private and quiet. My guests are almost exclusively couples wishing privacy and as you can see from the many reviews, they are delighted. Some mobility is required as there are stone steps to the water.

| A lovely cottage on wonderful Eagle Lake! A fantastic view, cozy evenings with warm fires, great hikes at Mikisew Provincial Park, and so much fun snowshoeing on the frozen lake. Would love to visit again. Thank you so much Liz for providing a peaceful, tranquil place.

| What a dream !!! The coziest cottage. Spent 5 days here and let me tell you, Elizabeth is an amazing host. This cottage has everything you need for a weekend/week/month stay. We enjoyed hiking in the mornings at Arrowhead and Mikisew, some shopping in Huntsville followed by cozying up by the fire. Elizabeth even made us the cutest outdoor fire on New Year's Eve. Everything about this stay was perfect. Thank you once again !!

| Absolutely fabulous!
My partner and I stayed at The Stone Cottage for a week and it exceeded all of our expectations. The view from the cottage was gorgeous; I wrote multiple exams during our stay and the scenery and beautiful atmosphere were so peaceful and gave me the greatest setting a student could have ever imagined. We loved everything about the cottage and surrounding area. It was exquisite in the winter and we were even lucky enough to get some snow!
Thank you Elizabeth for all of your hospitality and kindness. We will most definitely be returning to The Stone Cottage and cannot thank you enough.

| The Stone Cottage is such a special place! Our first visit exceeded all expectations, and our first thought when we arrived was that it was far more lovely than pictures could capture. Elizabeth is an extremely thoughtful host and it showed in the details. After a 5 hr drive to get there we were greeted with a warm welcome. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, well equipped with everything we needed. The history of the cottage can be seen and felt everywhere and we enjoyed the old photographs on the wall and books that tell a story about the area. The upper and lower deck provided beautiful views of the lake and sunsets. Another sitting area with fire pit behind the cottage provides a completely different opportunity to take the natural beauty of the area and it's diverse variety of trees.
During our stay we experienced all kinds of weather and there was a way to enjoy it all, from cozy fires in the fireplace, to morning coffees and evening glasses of wine in the screened in porch or out on one of the decks. We read books, swam, canoed, kayaked, went for leisurely walks and challenging hikes, and if nothing else just took in the natural beauty that surrounded us. There are many options for day trips around the area but we chose to spend the majority of our time at the cottage.
Our stay was such a pleasure, restful, restorative and inspiring, and we look forward to our next stay.
Thank you so much Elizabeth!
