General Description

Imagine 8 acres of wooded property to explore, over 400' of shoreline - on a pristine and quiet lake (max 10hp motor restriction) - not to mention the great fishing! Then there's the five bedroom four/ bathroom modern cottage with all the 'whistles and bells' to make your family vacation one to remember! In addition to the main living area with vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling stone fireplace, wall of windows overlooking the lake, there is a large screened Muskoka room on the lower level. The cottage is set on an open and level grassy area with tall trees surrounding. There is a sandy play area above the water on the shore for small ones, plus shallow entry into the water. There's a kid's playset on the property as well as lots of children's furniture for both inside and out. Maeck Lake is a small lake near South River - approximately 1 hr from Hunstville and 30 minutes from South River. Access into Algonquin Park from South River, along with access to the Trans Canda Trail System at Spring Lake on the way into the cottage - 15 km of "The Forgotten Trail System". There are also some hiking trails on the cottage property itself.

Guest Comments

"Everything at the cottage is exactly as described and it the pictures were great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. We appreciated the fact that the owner had a new BBQ for the cottage. Having the five bedrooms and two master suites worked out great for our group."

R. Pearce

"This cottage was exactly what I was looking for...a small quiet lake (no skiing, no jet skis, no noise! It was a very peaceful location, a very well appointed cottage and great recreational opportunity like canoeing paddle boating and reading- We are definitely interested in renting this one again."

C. Das

"We were very pleased to see that all the expectations we had from the pictures and information provided were met. the cottage was lovely. We had a great time at this cottage. Comfortable and having a dishwasher and laundry facilities was a great asset Baby gates at top of both stairs would also be helpful. I have already recommended it to friends."
