3 bedroom Lakefront Cottage on Kawartha Lakes close to the GTA. Pet friendly!

Only 1.5 hours outside the GTA. Come enjoy our family cottage all year long. Massive waterfront deck. Your own personal 40 ft dock. Outdoor firepit. Large waterfront lot with lots of privacy! Casino Rama 20 minutes away. Visit Orillia (25 minute drive).
Outstanding fishing all year long (Bass, Pike, Pickerel, Crappie and Musky all right from the dock or deck!). Golf in the summer (Western Trent Golf Course 8 minutes away) and ice fish in the winter. B104 trail system for ATVS and sleds. Endless outdoor activities to enjoy. Breathtaking sunsets. 10 minutes from Lake Simcoe (World class ice fishing).

4 season cottage for rent right on Lake Dalrymple. Lots of space for the entire family. 3 bedroom. 2 queen beds, 1 futon, and a bunk with a pull out trundle (6 beds total). 2 levels. Full kitchen. Family room. Upstairs is an open space with table tennis setup option or keep it open to play, exercise or use at your leisure. 2 Bathrooms with 1 stand up shower. Lots of board games, books, and gaming consoles for those rainy and cold days. Balcony upstairs for viewing the most spectacular sunsets you will ever see!

Outdoors we have a 40ft aluminum dock for your boat and other watercraft with amazing fishing right off the dock! There is a massive waterfront deck with a BBQ for you to cook your favorite foods. We will have a canoe, kayak and float toys for the kids to enjoy your own personal waterfront. The water is walk in, no seaweed, sandy/gravel but water shoes recommended for the kids. A great spot for swimming! Approx. 5 ft deep at the end of the dock. Large fire pit with lots of seating for you to enjoy a warm night fire and s'mores. This is a double lot property with 120ft of waterfront to enjoy (larger than most properties in the area).

We are always adding to our cottage so this is by no means an exhaustive list.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a travel crib.

This place was perfect for us. We had to cancel a camping trip, and decided to try and find a cottage on very short notice. This property was the exact cottage feel we were hoping for, in a quiet, beautiful setting, and right on the lake.The house itself was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. The kitchen is well-stocked, and we cooked great meals both inside and outside. The yard was beautiful, with trees, lake view, and lots of seating options. For extra supplies, it was just a 10 minute drive to a supermarket, LCBO, and places to buy firewood. Thanks, and we would definitely be happy to stay here again.

Beautiful Place Just Very Hot

The house was very clean and neat. It came with plenty of towels and amenities. Beds were comfy and was plenty of space to perform games and activities. Only major complaint was the heat. It wasn’t mentioned in the description of the place, but the heat inside the cottage was almost suffocating. It is highly recommended to bring your own fans if you plan on staying in the summer. Another minor thing we noticed was the depth of the water, we were looking forward to jumping off the dock however, we couldn’t since it was too shallow (probably 3ft at the end of the dock). Overall a great house beautiful water perfect for swimming and well kept canoe and kayaks.

Richard was very responsive and provided clear instructions. The property was clean and hassle-free. All amenities are present and the view is more beautiful in-person. We asked to check in 30 mins early the morning of and he kindly accommodated. There was some unplanned hydro work that cut power for 3 hours, which we were informed of when the owner found out as well. Despite this, an overall excellent experience, thank you!
