About this house rental

This magnificent log house with towering ceilings and intricate stonework opens onto an old barn foundation. It is nestled above a beautiful private lake on over 300 acres of forest which can be explored by wandering along the miles of private trails.

The entire house is appointed with fine furniture and decorated with interesting and unique features. Each of the three bedrooms follows our family history around the globe - China, India, and historical Canada.
Bedroom Details:
#1 Upstairs: queen bed, extra-large room, vaulted ceilings, overhead fan, propane fireplace, AC, full ensuite, large closets, sitting area, optional single mattress
#2 Upstairs: queen bed, large room, vaulted ceilings, overhead fan, electric fireplace, AC, full ensuite, sitting area, single pullout couch
#3 Main floor: queen bed, overhead fan, full ensuite, stairless access
Optional: the TV/games room is equipped with a queen Murphy Bed
All linens, bedding, towels, etc are provided.

Each of the rooms of The Log House are comfortably appointed with all one could want for a relaxing retreat from the busy world. The modern kitchen has lots of space for working and visiting and includes everything to prepare gourmet meals, enjoy a BBQ, or to make a quick sandwich. The TV/games room includes comfortable couches and chairs, a Murphy bed, a large tv with hardwired access to online content including a Netflix account, and lots of board games.

The waterfront is a tranquil spot with lots to do: swimming from the dock to the raft, taking the canoe, paddle board, or sit-on kayak for a paddle, using the pedal boat for exploring the water - all are wonderful ways to enjoy this quiet and tranquil lake. And when you don't want to be in or on the water then you can sit beside the water on the large deck which has both covered and open areas. The dockside shed has a large collection of life jackets, paddles, floating noodles, and other waterfront toys.

This is truly a unique holiday location.

Over the last number of years, we have rented many cottages for various occasions, and none matched the experience we had at Alan and Rosalie's log home. The home, the surroundings, the amenities and the overall experience far exceeded our expectations. First, Alan and Rosalie were the perfect hosts. Alan greeted us upon arrival, gave us the history of the property and told us all that we needed to know to have an excellent stay. He was just a call / text away from any question we had. Second, the home is absolutely perfect and the pictures don't do it justice. It's absolutely magnificent, from top to bottom, inside and out. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bedrooms were very comfortable and the fireplaces throughout provided a perfect winter vibe. Finally, this home far exceeded all our expectations and I think this may have been our group's most favorite experience so far. We will definitely be back. Thank you Alan and Rosalie for your hospitality, generosity and kindness.

It was a memorable and enjoyble week in gorgeous cottage with outstanding waterfront (private lake). every single member of our family: my wife, me and boys 18 and 13 years old plus two dogs with no leash enjoed every day of our vacation. So would strongly recommend this property. Owners answered al questions and did everything passable to make our stay comfortable!

This was the perfect place for a family getaway. We are three couples, so the fact that the cottage has three bedrooms with queen beds, each with an en suite bath, was perfect. Even the water pressure in the showers was great, which I don't think we've had at any other rental cottage. There was plenty of space--both inside and out--to hang out together or get some introvert time. The trails made for great exercise. The lake is warm, calm, and super private. The kayaks, paddle board, pedal boat, and canoe provided were great options for getting out on the water without getting (too) wet, if for some reason you're into staying dry. We spent a lot of time on the dock, listening to music and throwing toys for the dogs (my chocolate Lab has never been so happy and tired). The beautiful, well maintained gardens lent the place an idyllic atmosphere. This is the best-equipped kitchen in any cottage we've ever stayed at--important since we all like to cook (and eat!). The barbecue is also in great condition. Alan was communicative and responsive and super friendly and helpful--he even brought us over a set of chess pieces when we could only find the checkers. I would absolutely recommend the Log House. Incredible, fantastic place for a relaxing getaway. I can't say enough good things about it!

Our family of 6 (0-86yrs) recently had the pleasure of staying at the Log Home for the weekend. Alan and Rosalie were wonderful hosts and responded quickly to any inquiries we had. The cottage itself is beautiful and spacious with picturesque views. The private lake is an added bonus to the superb scenery. We have rented many cottages between Toronto and Ottawa and this by far is one of our favourites. We really appreciate that the linens/towels are provided and the garbage is taken care of - small details that mean a lot to renters with kids and seniors. We definitely recommend staying here and are already planning our return visit!

Beautiful home surrounded by a little piece of paradise. Our stay at Alan and Rosalie's cabin was such a wonderful experience, the cabin is equipped with all the amenities you need to be comfortable during your stay. The hosts communicate well and make you feel right at home. Thank you for a wonderful stay !!

We could not have been more pleased with our experience at this property. The pictures don’t do the house justice. When I saw the fieldstone floor I thought it was going to be very cold but the floor is heated with radiant heat and makes the whole experience so cozy. We had a fire going every waking hour in the huge two story fireplace. The cottage is comfortable and very well equipped. We fed four but it would be easy to feed 8 or more. Lots of prep space and all the right dishes, pots and utensils. It was very clean and the linens and towels were first rate.The property was magnificent and the trails groomed for easy walking. A real getaway. We loved it. The experience with the owner was great. Thank you!

We cannot say enough goods things about our experience at the Log House. The owners are wonderful people and very responsive -- but we didn't encounter any problems. The house itself and the beautiful acreage is better than the pictures, simply because being in such a place is magical.

Everything about this place is spectacular. Absolutely spotless, completely beautiful and amazing down to the smallest detail. What you see is not what you get, you get even more than you would expect. I would recommend this place to everyone.

The property and the house are even better in person than in the photographs. We were met by Alan upon our arrival. He explained the history of the property which is quite interesting. He gave us a walk-through and explained everything we needed to know to enjoy our stay. He is a very nice man and very helpful. He was quick to respond to my questions and seemed very willing to try to accommodate us in any way he could. The entire house is very clean and well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked with all of the standard equipment as well as having some coffee and tea which is a nice touch. The bedrooms are nicely decorated and comfortable. We were there in February and hiked the trails on the property which are groomed by snowmobile sufficiently that walking is quite pleasant. The entire property is beautiful and the trails are well marked.Prior to renting the log house, I had only made three short-term house rentals and, while I was happy with those, each felt like I was renting from a business. The experience was perfunctory, and the properties felt more like hotels. The log house felt like I was renting from a family friend. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.
