MILLIONAIRE SETTING.....
Welcome to Serendipity Lodge, a unique space with original features and reclaimed barn wood beams, situated atop a quiet south-facing bay with stunning 180-degree views over the lake. Our two-acre grounds are surrounded by crown land with no immediate neighbours in sight, giving you seclusion, tranquility and the ultimate escape from it all.

WHAT YOU WILL ENJOY......
Endless options for relaxation, play and dining include an open-plan kitchen/bar, chunky farmhouse table seating 8, screened-in sunroom, Billiards/Snooker table, Foosball, darts, large selection of board games, books and a DVD library.

The crystal clear water is perfect for family swimming with a gradual-entry sand beach yet deep enough at the end of the dock for jumping. Fish can be caught right off the dock.

ALL-SEASON FUN
Winter offers ample opportunities for ice-fishing, snowshoeing, tobogganing and lake skating right at the cottage. Our winters offer crisp temperatures, the lake freezes early in the season and there is plenty of snow. Trails right across the street from the cottage are well-groomed and well-marked from mid-December to late March. Ice-crossing for snowmobilers is next door - Sled in/Sled out at leisure!

All roads and driveway are well-ploughed in winter.

My friends and I were keen on a winter trip skiing or snow shoeing in Algonquin park and wanted a cozy place to stay. Serendipity Lodge worked for us. Four rooms suited our group. The two kitchens did as well. Lots of firewood for the wood stove made our evenings very cozy. The lodge may offer more on-site activities during the summer with great access to the lake along with a large property. My communications with the owner were great. The distance to Algonquin Park was a little too long though for multi daily treks to the trails in the winter.
