Whispering Pines Cottage

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. This is our special place where our family continues to build memories year-round, but when we’re not there we are happy to share it with others who would like to experience the beauty of Mazinaw Lake.

There are 3 bedrooms: two with queen beds, and one with a single-over-queen bunk. We also have a spare single mattress and a spare crib mattress that can be put on the floor (we find those useful for kids who want to sleep in parents’ rooms).

There is one bathroom with an accessible shower, and the kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge, stove, microwave, and dishwasher. There is a washer & dryer behind the living area; please note that the washing machine cannot be used in the winter, neither can the bathroom sink (until we find a way to insulate those pipes). There are a few baseboard heaters that keep the place from freezing, but the main source of heat when visiting in cold weather is the wood stove (wood provided). It makes the cottage toasty-warm and provides beautiful ambiance, but please be mindful of fire safety and proper operation when using it! Ask if unsure :)

The space is lovely, open & bright with vaulted ceilings and huge windows. Being South-facing, it is flooded in lovey sunlight all day. The lake is visible from most rooms, with trees creating a bit of privacy from any passing boats.

We have a shelf full of toys for younger children, and a cupboard with board games. While the cottage is child-friendly it is not child-proofed, so remember to keep an eye on your little ones! There is a wall-mounted smart TV and Starlink internet keeps the cottage connected for streaming movies on rainy days or working remotely.

Outside the yard is large and has a feeling of privacy, which is helped by being the last cottage on the road. We do have neighbours nearby, though, so we ask that you are respectful of their privacy and keep the noise down especially in the evenings/night time. This is a small, quiet, family-friendly bay and not an appropriate place for parties
