Bass Lake Cottage

Description from the owner

Bass Lake Cottage is located only 1 hour north of Canada's Wonderland and just minutes from the town of Orillia, Horseshoe Valley, and Mt. St. Louis Moonstone ski resorts. It is perfectly situated on a beautiful and small lake with springfed water, approximately 2 miles by 3 miles with a sandy bottom. The water is warm and shallow and ideal for swimming, canoeing, and waterskiing.

The idyllic setting is its most unique feature. It breathes peace and tranquility amongst over one hundred trees on almost an acre of land. Guests feel like they are in Muskoka each time they step out the door onto a large double private lot, with panorami...c views of sunrise and sunset directly over the lake and in front of their eyes. The view is incredible from every room in the cottage where there are floor to ceiling windows and glass sliding doors onto a brand new huge wrap around deck with glass railing large enough to entertain many famillies at once. Enjoy the barbeque, picnic table, and large wooden table on the deck with plenty of seating.

There is a new stone path that leads to a large grassy area and a fantastic firepit where the whole family can gather at the water's edge. A new large wooden sandpit was built this spring for children of all ages to enjoy. There are two large docks directly off the shoreline that are perfect for sunbathing and swimming through a shallow entry for all ages to enjoy a splash in the lake.

In winter months, guests will enjoy the most relaxing and well-deserved break from daily life by cross-country skiing along the lake, ice skating, or taking a visit to any of the nearby ski hills. At the end of a day full of activity, enjoy peaceful moments around the large stone fireplace in the center of the living room.

The cottage is approximately 1,250 square feet with three bedrooms and two full piece bathrooms. It also has a renovated lakeside guesthouse with a king size bed and bathroom. 8 adults can comfortably stay at the cottage.

The inside is very clean, renovated, beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated. It is open concept with hardwood floors throughout, custom kitchen, and plenty of seating. The dining room has a large table with an adjacent great room where guests can watch satellite television, and gather for DVD movies.

The most significant difference between Bass Lake Cottage is the owner's attention to every detail. Guests return year after year for a headache free vacation as every amenity is thought of. Beds are updated and very comfortable, linens and spare linens are new and clean, there are plenty of towels, dishes, cookware, and all other features.

  Lovely Cottage in Ontario

  Left on 03/22/2013 for a stay in August 2012
  
  

  We enjoyed our stay at Bass Lake; it was exactly what we were looking for. The location was perfect. We were close to amenities and yet the cottage gave a feel of being away from it all. The lake was quiet and the lot was private, we did not really notice the neighbours. Beds were very comfy - loved the guesthouse. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed and it was nice and cool inside despite the hot weather. The new deck was great and trees provided much needed shade on those hot afternoons. Lots of space for entertaining family and friends. Everyone enjoyed the lake which was warm and nice for swimming...We would have loved to use the firepit by the lake but unfortunately a fireban was in place during our stay. Beautiful sunset views from the deck and the dock. Lots to do in the area - golfing, farmers market, Leacock festival, hiking trails. Nice family vacation spot.

  Wonderful Weekend Getaway

  Left on 03/22/2013 for a stay in June 2012
  
  

  We have just come back from a wonderful weekend at the cottage on Bass Lake! The interior of the cottage is tastefully decorated - from the stone fireplace to the spacious and comfortable sitting areas. The kitchen is well equipped and everything is clean and well-organized. The windows provide a beautiful view of the lake and the new, large deck is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or watch the spectacular sunset. There are many activities near the cottage - hiking at the provincial park, walks on the country roads, and a farmer's market in town. Bass Lake provides the perfect setting for a peaceful canoe. The hosts of the cottage were gracious and welcoming. They provided us with additional information about the cottage and nearby areas of interest. We have rented cottages over many years across the province and our vacation at the cottage on Bass Lake was a highlight. Thank you again for such a lovely and memorable weekend!

  Grateful Memories That Will Last Forever

  Left on 03/22/2013 for a stay in January 2012
  
  

  What a wonderful place to spend time on cold winter days and nights! The fire was glorious and the layout was absolutely ideal for everyone to hang out together while cooking, reading, dancing, playing games and telling tales. We loved the lit deck at night that showed the snow-covered splendor of the outside world and amplified our sense of being warm and cozy inside in the perfect cottage setting. Thank you for being so kind, hospitable & professional, to boot! We are truly grateful for all the fantastic memories we'll have forever!
