A wonderful opportunity to have your own summer oasis with this exclusive-use log cottage on the shores of sought-after Hay Lake at the eastern edge of Algonquin Park. Enjoy the peace and quiet on an eleven mile lake that is primarily Crown Land, relaxing with a good book or having a family movie night in your log living room with cathedral ceilings. Your fully equipped kitchen includes all pots, pans, and crockery, and has a gas stove, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher to keep you and your loved ones well fed. In the cooler evenings of the spring and fall your wood-burning fireplace is sure to keep you cozy. The cabin has three bedrooms which include a queen in the primary, a single-over-double bunk bed in the second, and a double bed with a reading nook in the third. Take your morning coffee out onto the deck and watch the local wildlife, or sit at the water's edge and take in the tranquility of a truly peaceful lake. If you prefer, take out one of the canoes or kayaks (paddles and lifejackets included), go for a hike on a nearby trail, or enjoy a day of great fishing. The lake bottom is gently sloping and is soft and sandy, ideal for family swims. Set on the grounds of the small family-run resort Hay Lake Lodge (in operation for over fifty years), The Birches is now available for seasonal or monthly lease. Utilities and yard maintenance are included. Rent also includes access to common elements such as beach, gazebo, fire pit, and the main lodge building where you can relax, access wifi, play a board game, and enjoy the view. You're fifteen minutes from the East Gate of Algonquin Park, 1.5 hours east of Huntsville, three hours west of Ottawa, and four hours north of Toronto. If you're looking for your own retreat on a lake, but you're not looking for the expense and obligations of purchasing then look no further. The cottage is available May 1 to October 31, 2024, and rental payment options are $3800/m for a full six months or $4200/m for monthly rentals.
