Wahwashkesh Gem! Timber Frame Strawbale Cottage

One-of-a-kind timber frame and strawbale cottage on an acre lot with 300 feet on waterfront. Located on Wahwashkesh Lake, the largest lake in Parry Sound District. - Three bedroom cottage with cathedral ceilings accommodates 4 adults or 6 people total including kids. - 12 × 16 dock great for swimming, sunning or boating. - Two canoes and a kayak available for use - 12 x 16 deck with BBQ and swing directly off the living/dining room The space Our 1500 square foot road-access cottage is well suited to a family or couple with a keen interest in connecting with nature. The building features a traditionally framed structure wrapped in plastered strawbale walls. The timber framing and plaster work is exposed giving the interior of the cottage a warm, earthy feel. We made an extra effort to minimize the impact of the building process by integrating wood from the lot into the building. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, with a double and bunk bed respectively. The top floor has a bedroom with a double and single bed plus a loft which can accommodate another person or two. There is a bathroom with a shower on the top floor and a bathroom with a tub on the ground floor. The 18 by 28 foot open concept kitchen/dining/living area features a cathedral ceiling and wood stove. The deck sits above a path down to the lower level and water and looks through a few pine trees and out over the lake. The shoreline is rocky, dropping off into deep water in most places. We have mostly maintained the naturally shoreline as have the other five cottager owners in our bay. The granite rock and white pines provide a beautiful foreground to the magical sunsets from our west facing shore. Other things to note Linens (sheets, towels) need to be provided by guests. Other essentials such as pillows, soap, shampoo, toilet paper are provided. Water is filtered and UV-treated well water. We drink and cook with the water from the tap. There is a good cell connection from a tower on the lake, but there is no wifi.
