Honey Harbour Private Lake Front

A perfect family vacation in a perfect family location. Whether you choose to spend your time fishing off the docks, swimming in the lake, roasting marshmallows by the bonfire, catching the spectacular sunsets, or just relaxing in the hot tub and watching the world float by, you won't be disappointed with this location. Just 1.5 hours from the GTA with easy access from highway 400, and on a private dead end street! The property and driveway are privately owned and there is plenty of parking. The space Our cottage is perfectly geared toward family time. It's located on a quiet dead end street with virtually no traffic. Although there are neighbours, the large, tree lined back yard offers privacy. If you look at the overhead pictures you can get a feel for the neighbourhood and the cottage's location. You can see the proximity to Picnic Island Resort, a great place to enjoy some fresh cut fries at the fry shack, or an ice cream cone at the general store. Every guest is welcome to responsibly use the outdoor amenities, including the fire pit, kayaks, hot tub, picnic table, Muskoka chairs, BBQ's, and docks. There is a fire pit in the yard, facing the lake. It is encircled by pine Muskoka chairs so you don't have to worry about bringing your own. Fires are permitted providing there are no fire bans in effect. You're welcome to bring your own firewood, or you can purchase it at the Picnic Island General Store. There are two adult kayaks, along with paddles and life jackets. There is a hot tub on the lake side deck. It is typically serviced 2-3 times a week, depending on the ambient temperature, and the number of guests using it. Boats can be accommodated on the dock with prior communication. There is a free public launch just 2.7 km from the cottage, and a paid launch just 46 meters away! There are Muskoka chairs on the dock for relaxing and enjoying the sights, and a ladder for easy access to the lake. Please note the lake will sometimes have weeds, and sometimes not. This is completely dependent on the water level, something that is controlled by the ministry, and is not exclusive to this lake. It is typical of all Ontario lakes. There is a propane BBQ on the front porch, just outside the kitchen door. The yard is typically maintained 2-4 times a month, depending on the ambient temperature, and rainfall. There is parking for 3 cars quite comfortably on the left side of the driveway. We keep the right side open for our own personal vehicles, or service or maintenance vehicles. We keep our boat on the dock and will, from time to time, access it. There will always be prior communication before any service or maintenance is scheduled, or before there is any access to the property. Inside the cottage there are three bedrooms (one with a queen bed, one with a double bed, and one with a set of twin bunk beds), a Muskoka room with a queen size futon, and a living room with plenty of sitting space. There are pillows on the beds but not on the futon. Sheets and blankets are not supplied. There will be a couple rolls of toilet paper, basic cleaning supplies, dish soap and hand soap, a bath mat, and a couple of hand and dish towels. The cottage will comfortably accommodate 6 adults and 2 children. Families only please. Guest access The guest is welcome to use the entire cottage along with the outdoor amenities, including the BBQ, hot tub, picnic table and umbrella, fire pit, Muskoka chairs, kayaks, and dock. The code to the front door keypad will be sent to the guest prior to check in. Other things to note 15 Gidley Turnpike Your comfort is our first consideration.
