The Hidden Gem is a warm, family-friendly waterfront cottage located on a private peninsula with exceptional water access and scenic views in multiple directions. Set on a flat lot with a sandy, walk-in shoreline and a long dock extending into deeper water, this property is ideal for swimming, paddling, fishing, and relaxed lakeside living.

Originally built in the early 1900s and thoughtfully restored, the cottage blends historic charm with modern comforts. Original hardwood floors and wood paneling give the space a warm, timeless feel, while the inviting stone fireplace with gemstone accents anchors the main living area as a cozy gathering place for family evenings and cooler nights.

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this cottage! The location is a truly beautiful, private spot right on Cameron Lake, offering stunning, unobstructed panoramic views that made every morning and sunset feel magical from the property. Watching the mist rise off the glassy water in the morning and the brightly painted sky in the evening from the chairs out back were highlights of our visit.
The cottage beautifully balances historical charm with modern comfort. Inside, it was exceptionally clean and fully stocked with everything we could possibly need, including a fantastic dedicated games room that was a huge hit. Outside, the property provides multiple distinct ways to enjoy the waterfront, making it incredibly easy to spend the entire day by the lake.
On top of that, the property manager provided top-notch service. They were remarkably quick to respond to any messages, left us a thoughtful welcome package highlighting local tastes, and provided a fascinating, information-rich guest manual including details of the history of this century-old cottage. We are already counting down the days until we can visit again.

Words can't describe how amazing our vacation was.
It truly is a hidden gem. Very clean and organized and has everything you need and more. If I could give 10/5 I would. Adrian was amazing the power was out he came to tell us the details and to make sure we knew how to start the generator and brought extra gas. Adrian was amazing always reachable and made sure we had everything we needed.

It was the vacation of a lifetime we drove from Niagara and we will drive again and would stay in the winter as well. We will make sure everyone we know hears how amazing this place is.

Thank you Adrian and Hidden Gem for an amazing vacation. We wouldn't book anywhere else trust me exceeds everyone's expectations.

There will be no regrets if you rent this gorgeous vacation home. The house is beautiful, and has all the amenities you will need. We were a group of 5 adults, 3 teens, and 2 preteens. They had a blast, with all the lake equipment they needed. They also enjoyed the game room competing against each other playing pool. The lakefront was so peaceful and everyone enjoyed jumping off the docks. U tied consensus being, we will probably go back next year.

Truly a gem ! We had a perfect cottage week at this incredible place. Sparkling clean, beautifully maintained, wonderfully spacious and cozy at the same time. Had absolutely everything we could have needed for a perfect stay- best swimming we've had: lovely clean beach and great dock for lazy summer afternoons. Kids loved the water craft (peddle boat, canoe, paddle board). Great fishing. The kids loved the games room on a rainy evening. Adrian was always very responsive if we ever had questions but the place is so well set up we rarely had any. Best place we've stayed at yet. Can't wait to come back.

What a beautiful Cottage and property!!! The moment that our family of 7 and our dog arrived, we were smitten by the beauty of the cottage and the property that it was built on. We were immediately greeted by Adrian our host who was both accommodating and informative. Although a very resourceful booklet was provided for the use of all the appliances, TV, thermostat and water toys, Adrian was there to walk us through all of that which made our stay comfortable and trouble free. The cottage was magnificent with a perfect blend of a rustic look paired with a modern kitchen and 2 fully renovated bathrooms. There was plenty of room for 7 guests to move around on the one rainy morning that we had during our stay. Outside was an absolute paradise for summer cottage goers. The screened in gazebo was fantastic for dining and playing card games in the evening. The fire pit which was located adjacent to the gazebo was perfectly situated to enjoy marshmallows and smores under the stars. The important part, the lake was so warm with smooth water flow to allow our family many hours of canoeing kayaking swimming and jumping around on a lily pad that we brought with us. The dock was perfect for early morning coffee catching up on emails while listening to the loons. If you have to take time out for work, I can't think of a better way to do so. To wrap things up, everyone in my family all agreed that this cottage will become our annual meeting place for years to come. Thank you Adrian!!
