South Baptiste Lake View | Boat Launch | Game Room

Freshly renovated for 2026, our cottage offers a peaceful sanctuary with a view of South Baptiste Lake and steps to the public boat launch. Get the best of both worlds: the lake horizon and quiet privacy.

The entire home is updated, featuring a spa-like shower, modern flooring, and bright rooms. We’ve added a new game room with a pool table, dartboard, and TV! It’s the perfect place to find balance, breathe the fresh Ontario air, and enjoy slow mornings with a lakeview coffee.
