Moon Dance Rock Cottage offers an unparalleled escape into the heart of North Frontenac’s pristine wilderness. This spacious 2,300 sq. ft., four‑bedroom retreat surrounds you with sweeping lake views and the quiet beauty of untouched nature.
Located on stunning Big Gull Lake in Eastern Ontario, the 1.7‑acre property boasts nearly 600 feet of shoreline on a southwest‑facing peninsula, providing a truly private family vacation setting. Enjoy all‑day sun: morning light on the main dock, warm midday rays on the point deck, and unforgettable sunsets from the northwest‑facing dock.
A spectacular granite outcropping anchors the point deck, showcasing the timeless character of the Canadian Shield and offering one of the best vantage points on the lake.
Inside, expansive lake‑view windows blend rustic charm with modern comfort.

Whether you’re creating a simple lakeside breakfast or a full family feast, the kitchen’s layout and equipment make group meal preparation smooth, social, and enjoyable. A herb garden is available in planters on the main cottage deck to supplement your culinary experience.

A propane stove warms the generous dining and sitting room, creating a perfect setting for meals and conversation. The dining room table easily sits 8 and can be expanded to 12.

Living Room
A crackling wood fireplace centers the living room, creating a warm and inviting gathering place for family and friends. This welcoming conversation area is framed by large lake‑view windows that draw the outdoors in, allowing you to watch the red sky of evening transition into twilight before the room fills with the soft, glowing warmth of the nighttime fire.

Bedrooms, Sleeping Spaces & Bathrooms
With four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms thoughtfully arranged for comfort and privacy, Moon Dance Rock Cottage easily accommodates families and groups.
The main‑floor primary bedroom includes a convenient three‑piece ensuite and sliding patio door access to the screened‑in porch, ideal for enjoying a quiet morning coffee or unwinding to evening breezes.
A second generous main‑floor bedroom with a queen bed sits adjacent to the spacious main bathroom, which features a large walk‑in shower.
Upstairs, the loft‑level primary bedroom offers a cozy retreat with blackout curtains for guests who enjoy sleeping in or prefer a darker, quieter space.
The fourth bedroom, also upstairs, features a comfortable double bed and provides a peaceful corner for rest and relaxation.
Both upstairs bedrooms are adjacent to a convenient two-piece bathroom.
The loft area also includes a pull‑out couch, offering valuable sleeping flexibility depending on your group’s needs—perfect for kids, teens, or an extra guest who wants to be close to the entertainment space.
The lakeside Bunkie in the woods, provides even more sleeping flexibility, especially for those seeking privacy or the pure cottage experience. With plenty of windows and fully insulated, the Bunkie quickly sheds the day’s summer heat, allowing guests to enjoy a tent‑like, true outdoors feeling while still having the comfort of a solid roof overhead.

Loft, Wellness & Indoor Amenities
The spacious loft offers both relaxation and seamless connectivity, featuring a Smart TV, Bell Satellite, Starlink internet, traditional cottage games, and an Xbox.
If you’re looking for a place to stretch, move, or unwind, the loft also doubles as an ideal yoga and exercise space. There’s ample room for yoga, Pilates, and light resistance training, with some of the necessities provided for guest use. A Smart TV is available if you prefer guided sessions or online classes.
Prefer to take your practice outdoors? The options are endless. Roll out your mat in the lakeside Bunkie, enjoy a peaceful flow in the bug free screened‑in porch, or bring your routine to one of the decks or docks for a truly immersive nature experience. Whether it’s sunrise yoga, a quiet meditation, or a lakeside workout, you’ll find the perfect setting to reconnect with yourself.

Outdoor Living & Lakefront
Beyond the comforts of the cottage, the lake becomes your playground. As well as the two docks and deck, the extensive shoreline includes two shallow, sandy beach areas ideal for young children, while the north dock’s ladder provides easy access for deeper swims.
Our two canoes and two kayaks invite you to explore Big Gull Lake’s unspoiled 22 km expanse—where 80% of the shoreline is Crown land, offering endless undisturbed coves, islands, and potential for wildlife encounters.
Birdwatchers and stargazers will find this region exceptional: peregrine falcons are among those frequenting the area, and North Frontenac’s dark‑sky designation delivers the clearest night skies in Southern Ontario.
For anglers, Big Gull Lake is renowned for bass, walleye, and pike, making it a favourite destination for both casual and seasoned fishers.

Nearby Amenities
Nearby amenities include the small community of Plevna, where you’ll find basic supplies and essentials for your stay. A short drive further brings you to the charming town of Sharbot Lake, offering additional shops, services, and a welcoming small‑town atmosphere.
For guests who enjoy exploring local flavours, Back Forty Artisan Cheese and Kick and Push Brewery provide a sophisticated taste of the region’s culinary and craft‑brew scene. Whether you’re picking up award‑winning cheeses or sampling small‑batch beers, both destinations will add a memorable touch of local charm to your cottage getaway.

Outdoor Adventures
Hikers and canoeists can look forward to adventures here as well. The cottage sits directly on a popular canoe route known as The Big Gull Loop, giving paddlers immediate access to one of the region’s most scenic and rewarding circuits. For those who prefer to explore on foot, a local trail system called Linda’s Loop is literally within walking distance, offering an easy way to step into the forest and enjoy the natural beauty of North Frontenac.
