Then you will take in the beautiful pink and grey granite rock outcrops to your right as you approach your huge private 120' waterfront area where you will find 6 sea blue oversized Muskoka chairs overlooking the lake on a huge sprawling deck under the trees.

For swimming you can choose to test your toes on the granite ledge shoreline (sometimes allows for a small shallow area to sit or wade depending on water levels) or to cannonball into the deep fresh water off the end of the dock.

| Absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful cottage for our girls weekend! The lake views are incredible the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. Laura is an amazing host who truly goes above and beyond. She checked in on us throughout the weekend and shared great local recommendations. The cottage feels like a luxury hotel, with thoughtful touches and amenities that made packing a breeze coffee, soap, spices, paper products, and more were all provided. We felt completely taken care of. Highly recommend!

Owner response: Thanks you so much Amanda for your wonderful review!! It was a pleasure to host you and thank-you for being such amazing guests and leaving my cottage so clean and tidy. You are welcome back to the lake any time! Laura | |

| This was a fabulous cottage rental. Laura was an excellent host making sure we were comfortable, checking in periodically and always available for us. The cottage is spacious, eloquently decorated with everything one would need. The appliances and kitchen was top notch. We were able to work from the office and had no problems with wifi connections. The lake is clean, clear and deep. The lake is quiet and it was great to be up high above the trees for a fabulous view of the lake. We canoed and kayaked to the larger Kennisis Lake to picnic on the small islands. The ambiance was everything we had hoped for with comfortable beds and luxurious bathrooms and sitting areas.
This was a real treasure to find.

| This exquisite "cottage" on Little Kennisis Lake offered every comfort one could possibly wish for, every detail thought through from delux bathrooms, lovely bedrooms, in particular the master bedroom being quite special, a superb and fully equipped kitchen, many and varied visiting spaces , both indoors and out , with views of the lake and surrounding areas that simply take one's breath away.
Whilst the waterfront requires many steps to descend and ascend , it is all very doable and adds to the beauty of the whole.
Perfect dock from which to dive and boat.
Our host was welcoming, attentive , responsive to every question and went above and beyond to ensure a perfect holiday.
I have rented many a cottage over a liftime of cottaging but never one quite so lovely as this!

| This is the second year consecutively I've rented from Laura,I had such a lovely time at her other location last year that I reconnected with her and came up to her second property on little Kennisis lake this year. Everything was clean and included as expected-linens,towels,shampoos and coffee. It was home away from home,except way nicer,lol. She is very accommodating and on the ready if you need anything or need any information. The best part of my days were waking up to the stunning view of the lake from the master bedroom,it's unmatched. There are bass and trout in the lake so you don't have to go too far if you don't want to,although I highly recommend fishing in the wildlife reserve for more variety,I caught lots! On check out day I was so incredibly sad to leave to go back to the city but it just means I have something to look forward to next year. I have found my place to retire,that's for certain!

| My family of 6 and 2 dogs had an amazing time. The spacious cottage with several cozy places to either hang out together or separate was perfect. The views of the lake from the two decks was spectacular. I LOVED the view from the primary bedroom. The bathrooms and kitchen were very well appointed and upgraded. There are so many wonderful features about this cottage I could write all day! The dock and the lake are truly special, a clean deep warm lake that my 4 yr old grand daughter could not get enough of. She was jumping off that dock constantly. Thank you Laura for being such a great host.

Owner response: My Pleasure Linda! And thanks to you and your family for being such amazing guests and taking fabulous care of my cottage during your stay! I love that your little granddaughter fell in love with jumping off the dock into the clean clear waters of Little Kennisis Lake and even the photos of your sons' dogs on the paddle boards! It really looked like everyone had a blast! You are welcome guests at the lake anytime Linda! | |
