Quiet Waterfront Retreat on Connell's Lake

We would love to welcome you to our waterfront cottage on Connell’s Lake, a 28 acre spring fed lake with no public access. Located on a quiet, well maintained private road with ample gravel driveway parking for 5 average sized vehicles. The property sports a sand beach with gradual entry, perfect for launching the paddle boards, kayaks or paddle boat for a tour around the quiet lake. This also provides a great opportunity for kids to build the sandcastle of their dreams with the large collection of beach toys. The outdoor fire pit gives a great location to sit lakeside around a campfire and roast some smores in the evenings.
Directly across the road from Connell’s lake, the small gravel boat launch gives easy access to a chain of three lakes waiting to be explored by either kayak or paddleboard. One of our favourite afternoon activities is taking a cooler of cold drinks on the paddle boards across Connell’s lake, portaging the road, re-entering at the boat launch and exploring the rest of the water. For the would be anglers out there, all four lakes contain Bass, Perch and Pike as well as some Lake Trout. The area also boasts many walking trails that are just a couple minute’s car ride away. If you get tired of the quiet lake life, feel free to take the approximately 30 minute drive to Collingwood or Blue Mountain Village for a taste of the city and some exciting nightlife.
The cottage itself has 2 bedrooms that can accommodate up to 6 people as well as two non-pull out couches in the two living rooms that could work in a pinch. One bedroom upstairs has 1 queen sized bed with a perfect lake view and one bedroom downstairs has 2 queen beds. There are 2 separate living room areas-one on each floor with smart TVs and their own Amazon Firesticks loaded with all the popular streaming services as well as some kid’s toys and board games. The modern, bright interior has awesome lake views for you to enjoy. A full kitchen with glass top stove and oven, fridge with freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer are all available for use. The lake level sunroom boasting windows on three sides makes for the perfect place to feel like you’re outside while staying comfortable inside. We’re excited to hear from you and hope you’ll enjoy your stay.
