We have a cozy two bedroom cottage for rent on Balsam Lake, Ontario.

Balsam Lake is the highest lake in the Kawartha Lakes watershed and it is located within a two hour drive from Toronto.

The nearest town is Kirkfield, Ontario. The home of William Mackenzie the other famous railroader who built the railroad across Canada. There is a liquor store there and a few shops.

Our two bedroom cabin was named the Cowshed by my mother as a reminder of the milking shed that lay on that part of the property.
 
The cabin is winterized with indoor plumbing and a screened in porch. It sleeps 4 comfortably, two in the master on a new queen sized bed and two in the guest bedroom which is equipped with a single bed and a trundle bed. A futon in the main living area can sleep two more in a pinch and the day-bed on the screened in porch is good for those who like to fall asleep to the calls of the tree frogs.

The private dock is across the road and the swimming and boating excellent. For youngsters a small public beach is an easy 10 minute walk down the road.

The cottage built in 1988, is winterized, with a 3 piece bathroom, and electricity. It can be heated in the cooler months with a wood stove. You will need to bring your cell phone.

 

We re-built this section of dry stone wall
The dock is covered in water toys.
The view out to Grand Island.
