The Space
Chief’s Cottage combines old-school charm with practical comfort. The living and dining area is the heart of the cottage — a large, open space with wood-paneled walls, a mix of vintage furniture, and a wood-burning stove that provides warmth and atmosphere. There’s plenty of seating with couches, armchairs, and a long dining table that can seat your whole group for meals or card games.

The kitchen is clean and simple, with white cabinetry, tile backsplash, and all the essentials for preparing meals — a full-size stove, fridge, and plenty of counter space. You’ll find cookware and dishware, but don’t expect high-end finishes; this is a back-to-basics setup.

Off the main hallway are four small bedrooms, each with a bed (some doubles, some queens), dressed in handmade or vintage-style quilts. The rooms are modest but functional, with natural light and wood paneling that creates a warm, cabin-like feel.

The bathroom has been updated with a clean, tiled walk-in shower and modern fixtures — one of the few modern touches in an otherwise classic space.

Outdoor Living
Step outside to a screened-in porch — perfect for relaxing with a book, escaping the bugs, or enjoying the sounds of nature. There’s a large grassy yard with trees surrounding the cottage, offering privacy and space to unwind. A picnic table and a couple of Muskoka chairs provide spots to sit and chat around a fire pit (bring your own firewood).

There’s even a small outbuilding for storage or gear, and enough space to park multiple vehicles.

Please Note
No air conditioning.

Rustic atmosphere — furniture and finishes are well-loved and functional, not fancy.
