The Timberlight Cottage is a chalet style cottage, with over 200 feet of sandy frontage on Bay Lake, is the perfect getaway for families and medium sized groups. The cottage is especially suited for families with kids. Bay Lake is crystal clear and clean. At the shore, the water is shallow, and gets deeper very gradually. The hard-packed sandy bottom is an excellent surface for kids to play and swim. Many guests will settle into one of the Muskoka chairs on the dock while watching the children swim and play in the water! This new cottage has a rustic feel, but has all of the conveniences of home including a dishwasher, laundry facilities etc. There are three large bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge great room with dining and living room space, a very large sunny recreation room, laundry room and a beautiful kitchen. The large deck wraps around the front and side of the cottage; a perfect place to dine, read, or just listen to the call of the loons. The cottage is equipped with many games. You will have a professional bocce court with bocce balls, a Foosball table, ping pong table, pool table and many board games for adults and children and plenty of lawn space to play. With almost 4 acres of forested property to explore, you may see deer, hawks, woodpeckers and many other birds. On the lake you could see loons, ducks and and great blue herons. Bay Lake is known for it's pickerel fishing, but you may also catch bass, pike, perch and even lake trout.
Algonquin Provincial Park can be accessed from Hwy 60, or from two access points on the west side of the park. Each of these access points can be reached in about 45-50 minutes.

REVIEWS | | Brett |  |
| Had a great stay at the cottage, even with 3 days of off and on rain, the games room and spacious layout of the cottage made it easy to be here. When you walk in and see that huge A frame wall of windows you are in awe. Bedrooms are large and beds are comfortable. It's very private and lots of outdoor activities available. Lakeshore easy to enter and stays shallow for quite a way.
Would certainly recommend this cottage to family and friends. Rick is very quick to respond to any questions.

The water is nice, clean and shallow to walk out into which was great for kids! We had a wonderful time and will definitely go back! Rick was great to deal with and answered all questions and provided us with a great info package about their cottage and things to do nearby!

| It is our family tradition now to celebrate my daughter's birthday at Timberlight every year. There are so many indoor and outdoor activities you can explore there. The entertainment room is simply amazing. Wifi is also fast now (compared with 2 years ago). We would like to come back next year!

| Our group of 5 throughly enjoyed our time at Timberlight Cottage over New Years. The well equipped games room to the plentiful firewood and open kitchen/dining and living room made for a great communal space to relax.
Everything was impeccably clean and we loved it. Thanks For hosting us Rick!
