LOCATION
We are located on a half-acre lot just a two-minute walk to town, this four-season waterfront retreat features city water/sewer, central air conditioning, gas heating, and a fireplace. The property includes a six-person hot tub and a large deck with dining area. There is private access to Crowe River, which is 200’ wide at the property and expands to 800’ wide (35’ deep) just a 2 min paddle away. The gradual slope on the shoreline makes for easy water access for little ones. A 16-foot canoe, two adult kayaks and one child kayak are available for guest use. Life jackets from toddler to adult are provided. The dock will be put out around the beginning of June and remain available until late September (dates are weather and water levels permitting). We are just 2 hours north of Toronto, 2.5 hours west of Ottawa and 3 hours northeast from Niagara.
