Get away from it all to a luxurious lakefront vacation retreat. Welcome to “The Hut in the Jungle” (yes there is a fun story behind the name), an executive family escape two hours drive from Toronto but a world away. Located on Salmon Lake, near the charming villages of Kinmount and Bobcaygeon, it’s a four-season wonderland. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms and gourmet kitchen, all the luxuries are here waiting for you to relax, unwind, play and explore.
The lake is a Kawartha gem, with crystal clear water and great fishing for bass and lake trout. Explore with the kayaks, paddle boat, canoe and stand-up paddle board. There is excellent swimming right off the expansive floating dock.
In the evening gather around the stone fire pit overlooking the lake.
The lakefront retreat features stunning timber-framing, and vaulted ceilings. There is a large designer gourmet kitchen, well equipped and featuring a six-burner range top and double wall ovens. A large centre island is ideally suited for preparing meals together. An oversized Weber barbecue is provided as well.
The dining room table extends to seat up to 12 people.
The large living room has a vaulted ceiling with a ceiling fan, and is flooded with natural light from high south-facing windows. With panoramic lake views, the room has comfortable leather couches and reclining chairs. The centrepiece is a wood burning stone fireplace.
A 60 foot elevated deck runs the width of the building, with outdoor dining and sitting areas to relax with a drink and a book.
There are five bedrooms with sleeping for 12. In addition, the property has a separate sleeping cabin (bunkie) that sleeps four people. The bunkie is available from May through October and has an air conditioner and heater.
In total, the property has beds for 16.
The lovely screened porch with a ceiling fan is a comfortable place to relax or gather and has a futon that converts to an additional queen bed if needed.
A recreation room on the lower level has a walkout to the lake, couches and recliner, and features a large OLED TV with satellite TV and streaming services.
In short, a luxurious escape, not far but a world away.
