You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A perfect cozy getaway with all things included- there is very little to pack!

Welcome to beautiful Whitestone Lake, this cottage is available all four seasons! Enjoy boating to ice cream, nearby breakfasts, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, golfing, skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, sailing, waterskiing, wakeboarding & so much more! You'll love the cottage- so quiet & serene with gorgeous sunlight, trees, the lake, the dock, the beachfront, the fireplace, and especially the fresh air. It's great for couples getaways, solo adventurers, families (with kids), & furry friends.

This is a great cottage to unwind in. In the summer, there is a dock as well as a beach, a paddle boat, and a canoe for your use. The BBQ is excellent for cooking up some dinner or snacks, and the patio can seat everyone for a nice outdoor meal. In the fall you can enjoy some great hikes and walks in the area as the leaves change colour. Cozy sweaters and blankets fireside in the living room is fantastic, and a nice hot coffee in the morning by the dock makes for perfect start to the day! The cottage has been completely renovated in 2011, it is strong and secure for all types of weather. In the winter you can enjoy the snow all around you, do some snow-shoeing or cross country skiing. An excellent spot for snowmobiling and ice fishing as well!

Guests have access to the entire cottage, which includes the 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The great room and kitchen, and deck are all for your use. The dock and beachfront is available for you, and there is plenty of grass space for cars or a trailer/tent too.
Whitestone Lake is a fantastic lake to enjoy. It is large enough to accomodate water skiiers and tubers, and yet quiet enough for kayakers and paddleboarders. The neighbourhood is quiet, other people cottaging and a few locals. Nearby you can get to Dunchurch for some great little breakfast and dinner spots, as well as ice cream and local variety stores. McKellar has ice cream as well, and a cafe, and a farm shop with fresh meats. Parry Sound is your best bet for close by major amenities such as WalMart, Sobeys, Home Depot, Pet Value, and Starbucks, which is about 20 minutes away.

Lovely winter cottage!
We recently stayed here and it was a truly wonderful experience. The cottage was cozy, clean and well-equipped with all the amenities we needed. The surrounding winter landscape was breathtakingly beautiful and offered endless opportunities for outdoor activities. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive to all our needs, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We highly recommend this cottage rental to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable winter getaway. Thank you for the amazing stay!

View is nice but Cottage was ok..
The cottage does need quite a bit to fix up. The main hand railing is broken and is not safe to use, The lower half of the screen door is bent so it does not close all the way leaving a gap of at least an inch. So we couldn't use it due to the bugs. We did find quite a bit of mouse droppings around the inside of the cottage. The inside of the stove was dirty and we did not want to use it in case of a fire. Some of the cook ware is really worn and had loose handles. We had difficulties getting the BBQ going due to a problem with the regulator. Also the lower section of the BBQ under the burners was completely rotted which could of led to a grease fire. There is little privacy from the neighbors on both sides. The property manager also decided to cut the grass while we were on the back patio. I would expect this be completed in between rentals.

Cozy Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We don’t normally rent a cottage during the off-season, but this cottage was a wonderful change of pace for us! It was so nice to have a wood burning fire to cozy up near with a good book, and Erica truly thought of everything by supplying firewood, kindling, and lighters. It was really nice to stay somewhere where there is obvious pride of ownership and concern for guest experience. Overall, we highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing stay!

Beautiful cottage on very busy lake
The cottage was older but fixed up, very clean and nicely furnished. Lots of useful things available to us. No internet or Tb but we didn’t care about that. The lake, however, is super loaded with cottages. We found a portion of it that is still natural and took our boat there twice. Very nice the first time but plagued with jet skis and pontoon boats the second time. Neighbours had a bunch of screaming kids up for the long weekend. Water level was very low and swimming was not great. Nonetheless the property is large (2 acres) and well maintained. Good spot for our doggie to play frisbee, and the fire pit is lovely. I found the ad a little misleading with regard to the lakefront. It’s really very small and crowded in between other properties. But there is a dock that is in pretty good shape where we could tie up our boat. Only about 1 ft of water depth at the end of the dock though. Overall it is a nice place but not the best place for us.

Imperfectly perfect get away
This property was exactly what the owner said it was. If you forgot anything they had it, location was great, pretty clean and it was very easy to get a hold of home owner if you had any questions. Definitely will be going back. Great if you have kids and a dog.

Cozy hug with a view!
We loved our September long weekend at this cottage. The location is beautiful- both the lake and the rolling hills of the road coming to the cottage. We loved exploring the lake on the kayaks (though it would have been easier had we put our dog in either the canoe or paddle boat instead) and opening the windows and sliding door to living room while listening to the rain and thunder at night. The lot is very cozy. It felt like we were wrapped in a hug with a view! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need even for larger groups. Master bed was comfy. Why not give 5 stars? There is an old camper outside two of the bedroom windows that can be rented for extra sleeping room-just wasn’t our taste but I can see it being attractive to people looking for more space. Overall it was very clean but the ceiling fans and under the couch (where our dog kept losing her ball) could use some attention and there was a faint smell of cat in one bedroom. Overall it was great and we would return again! We also did the Whitestone Lake Hike as shown on the road sign in Dunchurch. Glad we did it but it was definitely a hike, not an easy walking trail. Also, there are loads of games and movies to choose from!!
