The space Four Gables has been carefully designed to give you the iconic cottage escape you've been dreaming of while providing all the luxury conveniences you need to truly feel like you can relax while on your vacation.

You can expect all the outdoor cottage classics:

• Jumping off the private dock
• Paddling in the kayaks (2), canoe, paddleboat*
• Endless hours of fun on the floating mat (16' x 6')
• S'mores at the fire pit (with a supply of fire wood + blankets for cooler nights)
• Your pick of two huge decks - both with comfortable seating
• Dining under the stars

*Life jackets and beach towels are provided

Inside Four Gables, you'll find three levels of inviting spaces for full-family fun OR for curling up in one of the delightful nooks to spend a few minutes (or hours) relaxing and unwinding on your own.

Our lower level has a bright and spacious walk-out rec room ideal for: 

• Snuggling in for Movie Nights
• Laughing Over Fuzzball Tournaments
• Rediscovering Classic Board Games & Cards

And just because you're getting away from it all doesn't mean you have to miss a thing... Enjoy the 55" High Definition TV. We provide Bell Satellite service with the Sports Package (TSN, Sportsnet, MLB, etc...). We also provide an Apple TV which has Netflix. You can stream other services with your own login.

The main floor has been thoughtfully planned to make hanging out fun and social. The open and welcoming space flows onto the large back deck and has glorious views of the lake, generous seating and indoor and outdoor dining options.

The kitchen has everything you need to eat in luxury:

• Brand new induction stove, oven, fridge and microwave
• Dishwasher (just because you are getting rustic at the cottage doesn't mean you want to do the dishes by hand).
• Everything you need to cook, just like you are at home, including spices, utensils, casserole dishes, baking trays...
• Coffee & tea station (with a tea pot)
• Weber Genesis BBQ (new in 2025 - which means that the starter button still works!) + a grill basket and BBQ tools. The BBQ is hooked up to our propane.

Our favorite part of the kitchen is how integrated it is with the living room, dining room and outdoor space. You'll never feel like you are banished to kitchen duty while everyone else is busy joking and having fun. (And there is enough counter space for sous chefs)

There's two dining table options - one inside and one outside.

The inside dining room table is supersized - making it ideal for long laughter-filled feasts AND perfect for spreading out classic board games.

The living room is a favorite place to lounge and relax, chat with anyone in the kitchen, watch the bird drama at the feeder, or just kick back and read a book. We hope you will enjoy the beautiful original art on the walls.

The main floor has two bedrooms, both with super-comfy queen beds. Each room has a selection of games, puzzles and books. All linen and towels are provided. There is also a full main floor bathroom.

The spacious third floor is full of delightful surprises that will take your cottage experience to the next level:

• King bed with a captivating view of the stars at night AND the sunrise in the morning
• You'll find a bonus living room with a huge cathedral window with a view that has to be seen to be believed (a favorite spot for some quiet reading or a coffee in the morning)
• Two person jacuzzi
• If you love puzzles - you're going to love this - there's a dedicated puzzle table that can be tilted to whatever angle you like. No need to get a crick in your neck or clear the table for dinner.
• Broad selection of puzzles
• There's a comfy daybed that can expand to become a full double bed (or 2 twins)
• Full bathroom
• A washer and dryer that you are welcome to use (new in 2025)

You'll have full use of the cottage, inside and out.

Four Gables is perfect for families or small groups of friends who want a relaxing, fun cottage experience and are okay with keeping the noise down after 10pm.

Four Gables is our home for nine months of the year. We love cooking, having friends for dinner, beautiful original art, pottery, reading, puzzles, and comfortable couches. We don't squirrel all the good stuff away when we rent it out. So... We welcome guests into our home who will appreciate and respect the beautiful things that we have carefully chosen (and cherish).

This is definitely not a good rental for anyone looking for a party-it-up-at-the-cottage kind of experience. 

Our preference is a 7-night minimum stay. 

Bookings are limited to six guests.

Unfortunately we do not allow pets.

The closest grocery store is a fifteen minute drive. We recommend arriving stocked up with what you will need for your stay so you can spend every moment focusing on enjoying yourself. You can expect to find the staples provided - including spices, oil, sugar, salt and pepper. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will need to 'really' cook. You are welcome to message in advance to check and see if we have something in particular that you know you will need.

To Note:

There are 56 steps from the main deck down to the dock. It is not suitable for anyone unsteady on their feet.

There is a shallow sandy area at the shore. It does drop off quickly. The water depth is about fifteen feet at the end of the dock. It is not a suitable place to leave young children unsupervised.

You can drink the water right out of the tap. It comes from a well and is UV filtered.
