Loon Lookout is the perfect cottage to experience the beauty of the Nipissing Southwest Arm Valley. This 2 bedrooms cottage also has a cabin that is adjacent to the main house. There is a fully functioning kitchen with dishwasher. Outside of the cottage is THE place to take in nature. Guests can paddle up and down the lake. Swimming can be done from the dock. Loon Lookout offers winter stays. Guests can enjoy various activities like snowmobiling, hiking, and ice fishing. A trip just north of Parry Sound puts you right in the middle of the terrain that has inspired the Group of Seven and so many other artists and photographers. The natural beauty of such wonderfully scenic areas such as Pointe au Baril, the Key River and the French River have been made easily accessible to those wanting to experience the beauty of the area between Muskoka and Nipissing. At just under 3 and a half hours from the GTA, this cottage is an easy drive but far enough to really get away from it all! Loon Lookout captures the majesty of the lake, enjoying wonderful views from atop the ridge of the Nipissing Southwest Arm Valley. The cottage is clean and bright inside. As you step in, the large living space opens in front of you. After daylight hours or on rainy days, you will likely find your group congregating here for games and conversation. Those who can't tear themselves away from the virtual office will jump on the prime location for home workers - a desk facing outside and overlooking the water. We'd like you to get out and enjoy all cottaging has to offer, but if you must talk to the boss, there is no better place to do so. Unlimited WiFi lets you keep up with the office and supports Zoom calls with work, family or friends - you DO want to brag about the great time you're having, right? The kitchen divides the main living area from the dining room and a wonderful sun porch. THIS is where we can see people really getting their "relax" on. Upstairs, there are 2 bedrooms and a 2-piece powder room that complements the 3-piece bathroom on the main floor. Are you the lead couple in the group or have someone that wants a place of their own for your stay? If so, you might want to claim dibs on the adjacent "cottage-ette" (cabin) that is adjacent to the main cottage. Consisting of a living area, dining area, kitchen, 3-piece bath and able to sleep 4 comfortably (beds for 5 people), this is a cottage in itself. The privacy of the two cottages makes it the perfect spot for two families to vacation together or in separate groups. Please note that during the winter months, the water system is not functional in the sleep cabin. It remains heated, but anything requiring water usage needs to be done in the main cottage. Moving to the lake, a pathway traverses the waterfront. While the waterfront is easily accessible for all able-bodied persons, those with serious mobility concerns may need some assistance as there is a short steeper section. You can join us for a walk up that path in this video. The surrounding area teems with natural appeal. A paddle up or down the lake is a constant photo-op, with rugged beauty that never ends. For those bringing a power boat, the waters of Lake Nipissing are at your disposal and the fish await. While the necessities can be had in nearby Monetville or Noelville (where we recommend a visit to the Voyageur Chip Stand for french fries or fresh pickerel), the northern cities of North Bay and Sudbury are both within an hour's drive. Golfers? Bring the clubs! Meadow Springs Golf Course is just 5 km away.
