The space Tucked away in a truly quiet setting, you won’t hear traffic here—if more than two boats are on Old Man’s Lake, it’s considered “busy.” Unlike cottages near highways, the closest main road is about 25 minutes away, with Hwy 11 nearly 30 minutes out. Need supplies? The well-loved, family-run Cornball store—known for its homemade baked goods and groceries—is just a 4-minute drive. Surrounded by stunning scenery, this area shines in every season, especially during peak fall colours. Take a short 700 m walk to historic Old Man’s Creek, visit the unique Screaming Heads in Burk’s Falls (approx. 12 km), enjoy nearby horseback riding, or simply relax at the dock, gazebo, or cottage deck. Evenings are made for fires by the shore—perfect for s’mores and roasted marshmallows. Unwind on the dock, in the hammock, or with a book (a selection is available). Thermacell and bug zappers help manage occasional mosquitoes, which typically fade as the night cools. For fun, enjoy outdoor lawn games (ring toss, cornhole, bocce—located in the mudroom), plus indoor board games, cards, and an Xbox One. On the water, guests have access to a 14-foot aluminum boat (outboard motor available for an additional fee), two kayaks, one canoe, life vests, and noodles. Indoors, stream Netflix, Prime (BritBox, PBS Masterpiece, Acorn), Crave, or Bell Fibe, or enjoy a DVD or a good read.
