Charcoal Tree House: Cozy Cottage, Luxe Deck, Stargazing, Fire Pit, Forest Views
Welcome to Charcoal Tree House!
A newly renovated, stunning 1,200-square-foot cottage nestled on two acres of lush greenery and towering trees, offering both comfort and tranquility.
Private Entrance: The long, almost 400-foot driveway ensures complete privacy, with no visibility from the public road.
Four-Season Enjoyment: With a forced-air heat furnace and a township-maintained road, you can enjoy the house year-round in full privacy.
Wooden Deck: The spacious deck offers a perfect spot to connect with nature. You may even spot deer or turkeys strolling by as you enjoy your morning coffee.
Bedrooms: Bedroom #1 - "Classic": The largest room in the house, featuring a queen-size bed and a large walk-in closet. Three windows provide beautiful views of the surrounding woods, and blackout roller shades ensure a restful night’s sleep.
Bedroom #2 - "Woods": A cozy room with a double-size bed and small walk-in closet, located on the opposite side of the house for more privacy. This room, with one window and a blackout roller shade, offers a peaceful retreat closer to the trees.
Bedroom #3 - "Stargaze": A loft-style room with a double-size bed and two skylights, allowing you to stargaze while lying in bed. Accessed by wooden stairs and a ladder, this space is one of the most unique and fun areas of the house.
Bedroom #4 - "Attic in Stargaze": Upstairs from Bedroom #3, this charming attic space offers two twin-size beds, making it a cozy retreat.
Kitchen and Dining: The state-of-the-art kitchen features quartz countertops, sleek black cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and an embedded flat induction cooktop. Basic cooking essentials, coffee, and tea are provided for your convenience.
Entertainment & Workspace: Enjoy a 7.1 surround sound home theater experience in the basement, featuring a modest laser projector and a 120-inch screen — perfect for movie nights or immersive viewing. This cozy, multi-purpose space also serves as a family/living room, making it the ideal spot to unwind, whether it's during the day or a quiet evening in.
Workspace: The house is also great for remote work, with fast Wi-Fi (180 Mbps) and a dedicated workspace. Though the workspace isn't in a closed room, the large window offers a lovely view of the trees to refresh your eyes during breaks.

Wonderful Gem of a Rental Property
My family of 5 adults loved staying in this wonderful, spacious home. We were all so comfortable inside with the layout that gave each of us the privacy when we wanted and space for meal prep, dining, board games and hanging out together too. There were more than enough linen and towels.The location is truly minutes from the centre of Gravenhurst and also close to the activities we chose to engage in. Our host was very helpful in every way.We had so much fun in this home and in the Gravenhurst area, we hope to visit again,.
It was a great spot in the trees but just a few minutes drive from town. Clean and tidy and almost new. Had everything we needed for a very pleasant getaway.

Stay in Gravenhurst
Our stay was enjoyable and met most of our needs. The host was available if needed and replied to emails in a timely way leading up to the visit. The only challenge was the socializing area wasn’t really set up for more than 2 people. After eating if you didn't want to stay seated at the table you could go only really go to your room. That being said the weather was rainy so we couldn't use the ample outdoor space that would have helped with that.
