The owners of “Serenity by the Lake” have beautifully renovated their cottage so it retains a traditional cottage atmosphere with a beach house look & feel and it is located just off of Hwy 28, a few kilometers South of Bancroft. It is a tranquil and safe spot for swimming and fishing as the cottage owners have voluntarily agreed not to use motorboats as it is a clean and quiet lake. The cottage sits on the East shore so it enjoys sun for most of the day on the dock along with views to the West for sitting out and enjoying the sunsets.
The kitchen and dining area is open concept; light and airy with a large dining table and a fully updated and well-equipped kitchen. A smaller area to one side of the kitchen/dining room has seating overlooking the lake for making the most of the views across the water. A real bonus is the screened-in sunroom with table and chairs for outdoor dining and beautiful lighting for those evenings of relaxation, leading onto the deck.
There are two comfortable bedrooms on the main level; the master has an ensuite bathroom, and there is another bedroom off the kitchen with 2 full sized beds. Stairs lead to the lower level family room that has a walkout to the waterside, which includes a couch, woodstove, a TV, VCR/DVD player & stereo system offering a cozy getaway for those not wanting to spend time outside, or to warm up on cooler evenings. As well there is a Gitoni table for some fun competition.
Outside, there are steps down to the waterfront, where there is a new dock and upper wrap around deck and although there is a lawned area, there is a fairly short but steep slope so not really suitable for ball games at that side of the property; but the front has a large horseshoe driveway and a big open area for games. The dock has steps into the water which is about 2ft at the shoreline, deepening to over 4-5 ft at the end of the dock and includes four Muskoka chairs for relaxing by the lake.
This location is ideal for anyone wanting to be in a quiet cottage country location but still close enough to town for shopping and eating out. Silent Lake Provincial Park is 15 minutes to the South, and the town of Bancroft, just 5 minutes to the North so there’s plenty to do in the area.

Trivia "The Cheddar Cheese Connection" In the late 1800s cheese production was popular around the county of Haliburton which had 5 factories. An 1892 court case dealt with an issue the Deer Lake Cheese Factory in the town of Cheddar had with three of its milk suppliers. The judge ruled that the whole scam was the result of rumour and gossip and he ordered the parties to all get along for the betterment of the area's cheese consuming residents. The hamlet of Cheddar (off CR121) is now a ghost town that has been reclaimed by the surrounding forest.
