Ontario Cottage Rentals

Location: Bass Lake, near Foot's Bay and Port Carling, Ontario.

Lakeside is a newly renovated, four-bedroom cottage located on Bass Lake. The main cottage has three bedrooms, two on the upper level, a third on the lower level, with a double bed, couch and glass sliding doors. The main cottage has a gas fireplace and a bathroom with a large bathtub with a separate stand-up shower. From one of the upstairs bedrooms you are able to walk out on the balcony for a beautiful view of Bass Lake. Walk out to the lake from a delightful lower-level Muskoka room, which is screened in to keep the bugs out in the spring.

The master suite is a separate small cottage near but not joined to the larger cottage. It has one king-sized bed, a mini fridge, toaster, and microwave. The loft has a single mattress. A two-piece bathroom is located in the master suite, but it can only be used in the summer.

Both cottages are connected by a large deck overlooking Bass Lake. The deck has patio furniture and a propane barbeque. The waterfront has three docks, and lots of room for you to park your own boat. Swimming is excellent off the dock, where the water is four to five feet deep. There is also a shallow entrance to the lake with a solid sand bottom, great for children. If you enjoy boating on the larger lakes, the Lake Joseph boat launch is conveniently located right across Highway 169, not far from the cottage.

Winter is especially fabulous! With its fireplace, cedar interior, and comfortable furniture, the cozy ambiance makes a welcome retreat after a day in the snow. Speaking of snow, there is something for everybody: Hop onto your snowmobile for some of the best snowmobile trails, found at the end of the road, a short distance away. Or what about trying out ice fishing on the lake. If downhill skiing is your thing, it's only a 40-minute drive to Moonstone for ski fun. Or you can enjoy cross-country skiing - there are many ski areas locally. For a lovely after-ski dinner, the popular Bass Lake Restaurant is only a five minute walk or a two minute drive from the cottage - they're known for great food and atmosphere.
