Kawagama Shoreline - Private Waterfront Cottage on Kawagama Lake

Welcome to Kawagama Shoreline. Kawagama Lake - a year-round fully equipped 3+ bedroom log home with stone wood burning fireplaces, and only 10 min from Dorset for those last minute things!

This property has ample parking and space to play. The cottage boasts a huge lakeside deck, a large dock, an upper lakeside sitting area, an updated fire pit, and room for the kids to play.

Inside we have 3+ bedrooms with two queen and 2 twin beds & 1 bunk available, a fully-equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, games, a coffee bar, and a sunroom with a truly Muskoka look and feel.

The water off the dock is around 8', perfect for docking boats, swimming and fishing. Kawagama offers Lake Trout, some excellent bass fishing waters, and panfish.

Our quiet road is great for morning walks/ jogs, biking, and exploring our amazing Algonquin Highlands ecosystems: a foragers delight, birdwatching, and many animals to identify. You'll often see deer, moose, bear, pine martens, fishers, otters, beavers, barred owls, bald eagles and other small animals passing through the area, not forgetting the iconic sounds of the loon and wolves in the distance.

Bring your own boat- launches at two different marinas on Kawagama (food trucks in the summer for fresh cup fries on the dock and ice cream). The lake is big enough to spend days exploring, tubing, water skiing and fishing.
Our area has abundant fisheries with multi-species opportunities, so you'll run out of time before you run out of fish! You name the species, and we will point you in the right direction.

Enjoy the small-town charm of Dorset, from the iconic bridge and lookout tower, Bigwin boat cruises to the famous general store and hundreds of lakes to explore. With year-round hiking trails, winter activities, wildlife viewing opportunities, public lands, and outstanding ATV/snowmobile trails, only 45 minutes to Algonquin Park, this is a year-round destination for people of all ages and interests. Nearby activities in neighbouring towns can fill your schedule quickly, from a day of boutique shopping in Huntsville or Bracebridge, treetop treks, and wolf viewing, to name a few.

Don't miss out on this highly sought after cottage vacation rental; the memories captured here will be talked about for years to come.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We booked last minute, the day before we left and everything worked out perfectly. Check-in went exactly as described prior to our arrival and we were greeted with a lovely gift basket. The kids loved it.The cabin was beautiful and truely inviting. We all enjoyed the relaxing stay and our early morning coffees over the still waters on the dock. Thank you for the great experience.

Private and peaceful

Had a wonderful time with a few friends at their property, the hosts were responsive and everything worked as anticipated. They have obviously spent some time thinking about their guests, the place had everything we needed and they even provided a gift basket and some coffee pods. Overall, very well done and no hesitation recommending this to anyone. Thanks again.

This was a magical experience. From the fireplaces to the quiet stillness of winter and the end of a road. It was everything. Space was beautiful and had everything needed. Host was available and interactive. They brought me more wood as I ran out. It felt like extra care. I will return 100%
