Waterfront Cottage on Shawanaga Lake | Sunset | Starlink | Sand Beach + Dock

Privacy, lake life, and unforgettable sunsets. Welcome to our exceptionally peaceful, fully renovated lakefront retreat on Shawanaga Lake in Dunchurch (Whitestone), Ontario—a quiet, unspoiled setting with island views and the kind of calm you only find at the end of a private road. From the moment you arrive, you’ll understand why guests fall in love with this place: sunset views over the water, a sand beach and dock, and the perfect mix of swimming options—gentle beach entry for kids and deep water off the dock for adults, boating, and confident swimmers. Along the drive in, it’s common to spot local wildlife—deer, rabbits, grouse, wild turkey, and more. This is classic Ontario cottage country… with modern comfort. -- Highlights You’ll Love: 3 bedrooms / 1 bathroom (modern shower — compact bath, beautifully updated) Waterfront with sand beach + dock Kid-friendly beach swimming + deep water for adults Island views + standout sunsets Massive Muskoka screened room with open lake views Bright sunroom overlooking the water Starlink high-speed internet (work + streaming) Canoe + SUP included Large sunny firepit area Laundry machines Backup generator (reliable power, even in storms) New water filtration + softening system (clean, cold drinking water from every tap) Stocked pantry and fully equipped home setup -- NO “Roughing It”: There’s no cottage compromise here.
