West Otter Lake Cottage F013
West Otter Lake, near Dorset, Ontario.

This cozy two-bedroom cottage lets you experience the real Ontario. It is located on Otter Lake, a quiet lake approximately three miles long and a half mile wide. There is a winding path which takes you down to this waterfront cottage. The L-shaped deck gives you a peaceful view of the lake.

The interior of the cottage has just been renovated. There are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed just off a conversation area with an open archway. The other bedroom has a double bed. In the living room, you will find a pull-out couch, which would also sleep two people. If you are bringing children, there is a perfect little hide-away for them to sleep in. The interior walls have been lined with pine, to give it the cottage feeling.  The bathroom has a shower, a sink with running hot and cold water and a composting toilet.  Close to the cottage, you will find a newly constructed outhouse, also made of cedar.  The outhouse has electricity, a lamp, and a
great view of the lake!

Also available for your use is a one-person kayak, which you can use to paddle across the lake to the rocky island. This island is perfect to just sit and relax, sunbathe, and also to have a picnic. This is the favourite spot for the children.

At the waterfront there is a 10' x 16', three-year old, dock which has sun all day long. There is room for you to bring your boat and the boat launch is located at the end of the lake. The swimming in the lake is great. It is a clear lake, with a shallow entry, and a sandy bottom, but also a few large rocks which you need to be careful around. If you like to fish, you will find bass and pike in this lake.

The owners request that you bring your own flash light, since the walk to the cottage in the dark could be very tricky. There is a long winding path from an elevated road down to the cottage itself. They also recommend that when you first go to the cottage, you come in the day light since this cottage is located on a narrow and winding road.

You can bring your own drinking water, but there is also a separate tap for drinking water. The water is lake water, but it goes through a second filter for the second tap.

Please note that this cottage is not suitable for older people due to the incline required to walk to the cottage.
