West-facing Hay Lake cottage with access to Algonquin Park  |  Cottage in Whitney

This is a glorious cottage property facing west onto Lower Hay Lake. Literally at the "end of the road" the property has 200 ft frontage and is surrounded by crown land to the west, north and east. There are fantastic sunsets from the deck and the dock.

The main cottage has been completely rebuilt over the past decade and features an open concept living and dining room, a recently installed new kitchen and a screened-in porch large enough for comfortable chairs as well as a second dining area. There are two bedrooms (queen beds) one with its own deck and views over the lake. The new bathroom has a good-sized shower, as well as a washing machine and dryer.

There is a large bunky on the property that sleeps two in single bed. There is also a table/desk and desk chair for remote work.

The cottage faces west offering lovely views over the lake and glorious sunsets from seating on the outdoor deck, the garden (where the fire pit is located) or from the screened-in porch. We have pure drinking water from our own well. Our kitchen includes a well-stocked pantry with all the cooking basics.

A canoe, two kayaks with life jackets and safety buckets are all included.

Lower Hay Lake is a very large and connects to Hay and Drizzle Lakes, with 17 km of cumulative shoreline to explore. It is under-developed with only 70 cottages on the entire system. Very quiet with no jet skis! The lake is highly prized by fishermen for lake trout, bass and pickerel. From the cottage you can paddle/portage into Algonquin Park, or drive to the Park's East Gate in 20 minutes. Whitney is only 15 minutes by car and has groceries, LCBO, gas station and pharmacy.

A new 14 ft fishing boat with 9.9 hp motor is available for an additional charge of $200 per week. Once you get back, unwind on the balcony most units feature, or head down to the pool and fitness center for a change of scenery. Every suite comes with free WiFi, a flat-screen TV, and cashless, contactless self check-in via the virtual front desk. A private bathroom, single-room air conditioning, and a full kitchen are featured in every 42–91 m² suite or studio. King beds furnish the 1-bedroom suites, while studios pair a queen with a sofa bed, and select studios add a soaking bathtub. Full toiletries are stocked throughout, and thanks to the in-unit washer and dryer, you’ll be able to travel light.
