The living room has a high vaulted ceiling with a ceiling fan to assist in enhancing circulation from the window air-conditioner. Baseboard heaters provide warmth on those cool evenings. The entertainment centre includes a color TV with VCR, DVD, Satellite dish and a video game system with games. There are a number of assorted video tapes (mostly childrens) and an assortment of board games and puzzles for those rainy days.

There is also plenty of room for a game of badminton, lawn darts, volleyball or just sunning. The beach area directly in front of the cottage does have weeds.
There is an island a few minutes by canoe from the cottage that has deeper water for diving and very few weeds, which makes for a fine swimming place for all ages. There is also an excellent public sand beach within 10 minutes by boat or car.
Renters may have the use of a canoe, paddle boat and an aluminum boat with oars. A 4.5hp motor is also available for a very nominal charge to renters possessing a valid boaters license.
The water supply is from the lake, therefore renters should bring bottled water for drinking. There are two water faucets which supply filtered water which we use for cooking.

Pets are fine, but please keep them under control and clean up after them.
