1117 Craftsman Drive, Algonquin Highlands, ON P0A 1E0

The setting for this beautiful cottage is classic Algonquin. There is over 300 feet of smooth rock shoreline . The property is well treed with mature evergreens and the landscaping is all low maintenance. It is very private with a great "getaway" feel but is located just a short drive from Dorset. Groceries, dining, pharmacy, health hub and other amenities are all just 10 minutes away. The cottage interior is all bright, open spaces with beautiful forest and lake views from the windows that line every wall. The layout works well for multi-generational families. The primary bedroom is located on the main floor with additional guest bedrooms on the upper level. French doors lead from the primary bedroom to the screened porch. The laundry and bathrooms are also on this level. The main floor living area is a very inviting space with high ceilings and a free standing woodstove. Floors and trim throughout are a soft, mellowed pine. The open concept design is perfect for entertaining or family gatherings. The kitchen is well laid out with plenty of cupboards and custom cabinets. It opens onto a screened porch overlooking the lake. A meandering path leads to a bunkie near the lake that will be popular with overflow guests, especially the younger crowd. Another path leads to the lake where there is a spacious dock with plenty of depth for diving. Wren Lake is the ideal size for paddle boarding, kayaking and perfect for water skiing and tubing. Canoe enthusiasts will appreciate that Wren Lake is part of the Black River canoe loop that begins at Raven Lake, connects to Little Wren Lake via a short portage, through to Wren Lake, the Black River and beyond. You can also readily access many other local lakes including Lake of Bays, Kawagama Lake and many others. A day trip to Algonquin Park is another easy option. The cottage can be used year round, with access via a privately maintained 4 season road.
