Privacy, lake life, and unforgettable sunsets. Welcome to our exceptionally peaceful, fully renovated lakefront retreat on Shawanaga Lake in Dunchurch (Whitestone), Ontario—a quiet, unspoiled setting with island views and the kind of calm you only find at the end of a private road.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll understand why guests fall in love with this place: sunset views over the water, a sand beach and dock, and the perfect mix of swimming options—gentle beach entry for kids and deep water off the dock for adults, boating, and confident swimmers. Along the drive in, it’s common to spot local wildlife—deer, rabbits, grouse, wild turkey, and more.
This is classic Ontario cottage country… with modern comfort.

Indoor-Outdoor Living Done Right
Start your mornings with coffee in the sunroom overlooking the lake, then spend the day on the water swimming, paddling, or relaxing on the dock.
In the evening, pour a drink and head to the large firepit area—perfect for roasting marshmallows, telling stories, and watching the sky turn gold over the lake. After sunset, listen for the loons and fall asleep to the quiet of the north.
