Green Birch Cottage is a bright two-bedroom cottage on beautiful Bass Lake near Orillia, just over an hour from Toronto. The main bedroom has a queen-sized bed and the second bedroom is outfitted with two single beds. The open kitchen and living area have garden doors opening onto the covered part of the large wooden deck. This three-tiered deck invites you to relax and enjoy.
Sliding doors take you out to the screened-in porch located on the far side of the cottage. This overlooks a creek where the trout sun, and in the natural wooded area beyond, ducks, geese, turtles, frogs, beaver and marten gather.
A couple of large flat rocks on the rock shoreline allow an easy entry into the shallow water. A large sand bar area makes this part of the lake a great spot for young children to enjoy and play.
Bass Lake Provincial Park is a ten minute drive away. Here you will find a variety of watercraft rentals available plus other activities for outdoor enthusiasts.
Green Birch property is very level with a mix of both shade under the birch trees and sun in the open areas.
There is always something to do at Green Birch Cottage, no matter what season it may be!
