Cottage #166

Tucked into 1.7 acres of well treed land, this lovely 3 bedroom cottage sits perched on a hill overlooking pristine Rebecca Lake. With only a few other cottages in this bay, needless to say you will be spoilt by this tranquil privacy and over 400 feet of water frontage.

The main level of the cottage is bright and inviting with an open concept kitchen/living/dining area and a wall of large picture windows framing beautiful expansive tree top views of the lake. Whether preparing meals, dining indoors or relaxing with a post dinner beverage in the living room, you will be able to take in the fabulous views.

Step out onto the large deck for outdoor dining, morning, noon or night, and enjoy the open views of the lake from there that seem to go on forever!

The upper level consists of a 2-piece bathroom and 2 bedrooms, with the master bedroom having a picturesque tree top view of the lake through the sliding glass doors leading to its own private deck. An office with a pull-out couch and a 4-piece bathroom are on the main level with a family room and 2 single beds on the lower level.

The owners love to start their mornings on the dock, loading up a tray (the tray left for you sits on top of the fridge) with coffee, some fruit and books and spend early mornings reading, watching the fish jump and listening to the birds.

With an east exposure, enjoy glorious sunrises (pink and blue mixed with a green reflection on the lake, making sunrises unforgettable) from the deck and dock and sun stays on the deck to early afternoon and lingers longer on the dock as it stretches out onto the lake. Needless to say, the dock will be the chosen daytime relaxing spot to soak up the rays, read and swim.

For more adventurous days, kayak around the islands and through the canal to the west side of Rebecca Lake. The west side of the lake provides tall cliffs that tower out of the water. Once you are through the canal, keep your eyes peeled for a rope on the left-hand side (heading west) and you can swing from the cliff into the water. For a full day, continue on and take the kayaks under the bridge into Bella Lake. Head east toward the large island and once you're past it, keep your eyes peeled to the left for the bridge. Bella Lake has a sandy beach at the far end for relaxing and a picnic. If you're lucky, you might even see a turtle!

For land outings, hiking trails are at the end of the Fieldale road that lead to a bridge over a stream and into the woods. You are also very close to Limberlost Reserve for hiking and have great quiet roads for mountain biking.

The historic town of Huntsville is conveniently close for quick errands or spend the day checking out its quaint Main Street with shops of every kind and a wide selection of cafés and restaurants. For longer day trips head into Arrowhead Park or Algonquin Park.

End your nights, back at the cottage, watching the moon shine on the water surrounded by a sky filled with stars, don’t you think it’s time to leave the mayhem of the city and settle into a long deserved cottage country escape?!
