Only 15 km south of Historic Heritage Perth, Ontario, home of many museums, restaurants, boutiques, breweries, distilleries, coffee shops and the famous Stewart Park.
ABOUT MY SPACE & AREA: Welcome to my hilltop log-home, which is my principle residence. I live here year-round. It is also extremely private. It is surrounded by Beech, Birch & Cedar trees with an abundance of deer, birds, raccoons, snakes, frogs, turtles, hawks, owls and other wildlife. The lake is a very short 2 minute walk down the inclined driveway & across a narrow gravel lane. The 50 foot lake-frontage is a private, natural, modestly manicured property which is great for swimming & boating, with a small sandy beach access.
Murphy's Point Provincial Park is a very close neighbour, and some popular places to visit from the Lakehouse would be the picturesque towns of Merrickville, Perth, Smiths Falls, Newboro & Westport.
EXCLUSIVE ACCESS: Guests have EXCLUSIVE use of the Lakehouse, its property and the waterfront with free guest use of its docks, kayaks, pedal boat, etc. It is NOT SHARED with the owner or other guests during your stay.

CLEANLINESS & TIDINESS: A Special Thank You for your cleanliness & tidiness. I have been extremely lucky to have hosted over 265 guests between 2018 & 2021. Many of these great guests have left my home so clean & tidy that its as if they had never been there! Some have even left gifts in appreciation of how much effort & pride I take in presenting such a clean, tidy & orderly home for their visit. To those special guests, a sincere, heartfelt thank you for caring for my home so well. You will always be welcome to return... to clean my home again!
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD: The neighbourhood includes 6 other waterfront cottages & year-round homes, whose owners value & cherish the calm & serenity of the area. It is imperative that Lakehouse guests show them respect at all times...so, please, no loud parties or music. Always keep your pet on a leash, even on the waterfront.
