THE PROPERTY

This pleasantly landscaped and stylish property emits a Hygge Beach House vibe. It sits on a large private wooded lot with a long driveway leading you into the parking area. It features a simple path across a large grass lawn with unique and beautiful granite rock formations to your right which leads you up to the cute little covered front porch where 2 chairs provide a shady spot to enjoy your morning coffee beside a huge granite flagstone patio. The lawn area is perfect for throwing a frisbee, playing lawn games, or even sneaking out with your mat for some early morning Yoga while taking in the soft sounds of the lake and nature around you waking up. In front of the house and to the left, a stone and simple wooden pathway winds its way down towards the waterfront. The cottage's spacious front deck overlooking the lake features an outdoor dining table for 6, propane BBQ and relaxing lounge chairs to sit on and enjoy noon-day snacks. On your way through the yard, you will pass a fire pit area with 4 white Muskoka chairs and romantic overhead bistro lighting that will call your name as the sun sets and the stars begin to appear. Straight ahead from the cottage, the peaceful view of Bitter Lake is framed by towering majestic pines and will have you pulling out your phone to capture the picture perfect scene. Numerous colourful Muskoka chairs await you to the side of the path and on the floating dock, providing relaxed seating to take in the views while enjoying your favourite beverage. For swimming you can choose to walk in slowly from the shore or to cannonball off the end of the dock. Bitter Lake offers great swimming conditions for all.
