The cottage is 2 to 2.5 hrs from Ottawa & 3 to 3.5 hrs from Toronto.
It is located on a medium sized but quiet, & peaceful lake. The 200 foot private shoreline offers many swimming, canoeing, boating, & fishing options. With the cottage located less than 20 feet from the shoreline, water play is extremely easy & inviting. The well treed lot is 900+ feet (275 M) from the access road & has a 400 foot strip of Crown Land that creates that 'private holiday' feel. The cottage is close to a boat launch, white water rafting, golfing, & craft shops. Fishing this sunny lake can produce bass, lake trout, or pike. The east gate of Algonquin Park is forty five minutes from the cottage.
The town of Barry's Bay is only fifteen minutes away. There are two local grocery stores, multiple restaurants, & many smaller shops for your cottaging needs or for quiet, relaxed browsing with a coffee & bun purchased from our local shops. Should the need arise, there is an easily accessed & fully equipped hospital in town as well as naturopathic medical and veterinary services.
The living room has a queen sized futon, a large field-stone fireplace, & patio doors to an intimate deck (sized for 2) ideal for a morning coffee or a glass of wine along with private conversations or star gazing. This area is where you will also find the DVD player, satellite TV, & many board games. The room has been renovated in pine adding a wonderfully warm afternoon & evening glow.
Should you want an area to enjoy a quiet morning coffee, to chat, to read or where you can play games and cards then the fully enclosed sun porch (with 4 large casement windows offering more stunning views of the lake), overlooking the lake and swimming area, is 'THE' place to stake an early claim. This room has a door to the front deck. It has another futon (pull out bed) accompanied by a cushioned chair providing an environment that delivers the solitude needed to relax and sink comfortably into your favourite reading material. You will also find a rack of adult-sized life jackets. Please bring children's life jackets.
Jevaco has a renovated kitchen complete with an updated window, pine walls, new cupboards (uppers & lowers), stone sink, a faucet & counter tops. The kitchen has a modern fridge/freezer, stove/oven, newer microwave, coffee maker, toaster and a drinking-water dispenser. We provide the first bottle of water. Guests will find a lunch bar with lots of cupboard & counter space plus all the kitchen dishes, utensils, & cookware needed to prepare your favourite vacation meals & snacks!
The dining area has a wood-burning stove for those cool spring/fall evenings, another queen-sized futon, two ceiling fans, & stunning lake views through the 'wall of windows'.
The 4 piece bathroom (includes a tub/shower) & the master bedroom have both been renovated in pine & floor tile.
The 2 well appointed bedrooms offer a queen size bed (master bedroom) & a set of twin size bunk beds (second bedroom). The master bedroom has a ceiling fan as well. Linens are not provided. Please plan to bring your own bedding ( sheets, comforters) as well as kitchen/bathroom towels and toilet paper.
The cottage is surrounded by a large wrap-around (3 sides) deck. There is an outside fireplace. In addition, outside features include a glass-top-table and chairs on the deck, a picnic table, Adirondack chairs, & a propane BBQ (we supply the 1st tank).
The swimming area is weed free with a firm sandy bottom. There is a shallow entry at the shore. It deepens to 4 or 5 feet at the end of the dock where there is deeper water for diving. The cottage comes equipped with a canoe, a youth's kayak, a pedal boat, two kid's kayaks and a long, wide, non-slip surfaced dock with a large 8'x12' sitting area out over the water. Note that there is a public boat launch on the lake about 1 KM south of the cottage.
For those cool spring/fall evenings heating is provided by the dining room wood stove and/or the living room stone-faced fireplace.
Guests are allowed but the number is limited by the size of the septic system.
Pets are allowed but only by prior approval. Note that guests are required to "Poop 'N Scoop" all animal waste.
