There is a lot to be said for a great 2-bedroom cottage at a great price. Especially when it comes with a sprawling yard and a wonderful panoramic lake view complete with your own mini-island! This red brick cottage will be perfect for a family of 4 to 6 people who want to experience a very traditional cottage vacation. Located just 20 minutes from Parry Sound, Rock Heaven is located close enough to shopping and conveniences (not to mention a great little snack shop in Orrville just a few minutes away) while far enough from the city to provide the quiet cottage days and nights that make this type of vacation so appealing. Throw in a few sunsets and campfires and it could be perfect for your group!
Arriving at Rock Heaven, you'll see immediately that it is situated very nicely to enjoy the water and sky. Stepping inside, you'll find an updated kitchen and a very nice lake view dining area. Beyond this you'll find a comfortable living room, complete with TV/DVD and a woodstove - a cosy room for gathering at any time of year. A 4-piece bath, a master bedroom with queen bed, and a second bedroom with sleeping for several more round out the inside of the cottage.
This cottage has a somewhat unique feature with it's large, covered deck off of the living room. There is ample room on the property to enjoy the sun at any time of day - this deck lets you enjoy the afternoon sun with the option of finding a shady spot, as well as being available to you to use in any weather. The BBQ is on the deck here, so even in the rain your grillmaster can stay dry.
We think you'll love the waterfront here. Mutton Lake is small enough to avoid the heavy traffic you sometimes get on the bigger lakes, but large enough that it is interesting for kayaking and canoeing. To that effect, the owners include a generous selection of watercraft for you to enjoy during your stay.
Out and about, you will find Parry Sound has much to offer - quaint shops, restaurants, waterfront bistros, boat tours plus all the basics you will need. Fans of music may want to time their stay with the Festival of the Sound, an annual festival featuring some of the top names in Canada in the world of classical music, with most concerts held at the Stockey Centre.
