The Core Shack - Cozy Home Centrally Located
Welcome to The Core Shack, centrally located in Kirkland Lake, Ontario! This cozy home blends modern comfort with rustic charm. Enjoy a bright, open living area with plush seating and a smart TV. The fully equipped kitchen and dining space are perfect for meals.
Two comfortable bedrooms on the main floor—one queen and one double, and two more queen beds in the basement ensure a restful stay for contractors and tourists alike.
Upon entering through the carport, guests are greeted with a large entrance with ample space to hang coats, bags, outdoor gear and plenty of storage for their personal items. The following room is a fully stocked kitchen with everything needed to cook a great meal. We also provide basic cooking spices including oil, as well as coffee and tea for mornings. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, oven, full size refrigerator with freezer and a table for 4.
The kitchen flows into the living room and has ample seating with two chairs and an extra large, comfortable couch. Guests can sit back and relax while choosing their favourite shows on the smart TV. A portable AC unit is also available during summer months to keep the house cool.
The bedrooms are spacious and have tons of clothing storage with hangers and full size closet door mirrors - so you can make sure you're looking your best! The bathroom has a shower and additional hooks to hang up towels, as well as complimentary soap, shampoo and conditioner.
The basement has two more queen beds and a cozy fireplace tying the space together, as well as a washer, dryer and wash tub for guest use.
The property can accomodate 3 vehicles comfortably, which includes one vehicle inside the carport - no need to dig out your car from snow in winter months! Parts of the yard are fenced to accomodate your fur companions.

Liked: Amenities, communication
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Property and location was good. Only problem we had was the shower head would not stay up, shower door doesn’t close properly. No instructions on how to work the tv. No night lights. No lables on the light switches. Lamp in main bedroom had to be plugged in to work and removed to turn off. On off switch. But over all the place was spotless, comfortable and the owner Chantale responded in a timely matter and well equipped. Added plus was the washer and dryer…
Chantal is super communicative and was great when we needed to extend our stay. We have stayed at a couple of her properties for work purposes and highly recommend her properties.
