Cozy Luxury Cottage for Rent on a semi-island!! Pet Friendly! Don’t Miss it!

🌅 Elevated Lakeview Retreat on Michael Lake | Pool | 3 Acres | Sleeps 14

Escape to a rare elevated lakeview retreat on Michael Lake, located just under an hour from the GTA. Set on over 3 acres of raised land, this modern (2017-built) cottage offers breathtaking near 360° panoramic views of the surrounding water and landscape—allowing you to enjoy both sunrise and sunset from the same property.
