Chapter one · 7 a.m.

Morning.

First light, first coffee, on the balcony.

Both upstairs king bedrooms face the lake and share a walkout balcony.

Sunlight lifts the dew while the lake lies still. Ground coffee and filters are waiting. Take your first cup out to the balcony.

“Mornings with coffee on the deck and evenings watching the water shimmer gave us all the feels.”

Juliana, September 2025

Chapter two · 1 p.m.

The day.

The lake is yours.

Two kayaks and life jackets are included. Cast for Rice Lake’s famous bass and walleye right off the dock, or claim a Muskoka chair and do absolutely nothing.

Lunch happens around the open kitchen, renovated and fully equipped for ten, with a Weber on the patio and propane provided.

“My family had 12 of us staying here and we thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks, fishing at the dock, hot tub and the fire pit.”
