Waterfront

Beautiful, newly renovated rustic cottage complimented by 120 year old hemlocks on crystal clear Cross Lake. Enjoy the sun on the dock starting in the morning through the afternoon and then enjoy the magnificent sunsets after dinner.
Watch the kids splash and play on the sandy bottom beach area that has a gentle entry from the shore. Navigate your way along the predominantly crown land shore lines in the kayaks and canoe, or do a short portage to the close by uninhabited lakes where you can drop a fishing line or just paddle and drift along.
In the evening, roast marshmallows around the campfire, which is in the centre of the newly landscaped stone patio, and surrounded by perennial gardens.
On rainy days, you can sit in the screened in porch or watch the wide selection of movies on the big screen TV.
Visit the quaint surrounding small towns or take a hike on the numerous trails in nearby Algonquin park. You can plan an afternoon to see famous Moore's falls by canoe, which is just a few minutes drive up the road.
The cottage has a separate deck with patio furniture, accessed through glass doors from the living room. There is also a look-out deck with chairs, over-looking the lake.

This summer was our 2nd time visiting the Hemlock Cottage. Voted by popular demand to return once again. The cottage and property are beautifully maintained and easily accommodated our group of 7 guests.
Lots of good swimming and water activities to keep kids busy, lots of relaxing places for the adults.

Both stays the cottage and lake have been quiet and peaceful, with incredible sunsets. Ron and Pauline are exceptional hosts, and make some damn good maple syrup. Highly recommend visiting, you better book before we do!

We had an amazing family week at this cottage!
The owners were kind and accommodating. Fantastic people!
The cottage was perfect. It had everything you could ask for and more! the condition of the cottage and attention to detail shows they really care about your stay.
The lake was a perfect clear sandy walk in which was exactly what we needed with young kids. The sun shines directly over the dock in the afternoon, ideal for lake time. It was also a nice quiet lake with a lot of uninhabited forested land which was beautiful.
The little town of Maynooth with their general store was lovely and we would definitely make a point of spending a bit more time exploring there next time!
No need to think twice about renting this cottage!

We would definitely return.

My husband and I keep coming back to Hemlock Cottage, and for good reason! Ron and Pauline are amazing hosts. They are also constantly doing upgrades to the cottage. This year, we appreciated the convenience of the new washer/dryer and new shower. The outdoor setup is perfect with multiple seating areas to enjoy the fresh air and stunning sunsets. Plus, if you love to fish like my husband, you will be thrilled with the walleye, bass, pike, and lake trout. It truly gets better with every stay!!

We had a great week at Hemlock cottage! The cottage itself was very clean, spacious with all the cooking tools/utensils you need. You basically have the bay to yourself, it's so nice and quiet. The lake is very clean, no weeds and a nice shallow walk in which is perfect for smaller kids. Use of kayaks, canoe and tin boat was enjoyed by all of us. We just added our own floaties.
Pauline and Ron are great, so nice to chat with and their homemade maple syrup was a hit with everyone. Highly recommend this cottage.
