Just a 2 min walk to the clear sandy beach on Lake Simcoe where you can swim and gaze at the gorgeous sunset. Next to Mara Provincial Park to explore a larger beach with more action. Retro inspired look with a huge treed backyard completes the real cottage experience. Rustic exterior with BBQ and patio set on the deck and a campfire at the back. Cozy small cottage with Wifi, AC for added comfort. Just 12 mins to the closest supermarket in Orillia and access to many public beaches on Lake Simcoe. Sleeps upto 6. Note: it's not direct waterfront, it's a 2 min walk to a public sandy beach. This section of Lake Simcoe has hard sandy bottom and almost no weeds for a long distance, making it easy to swim and have the kids play in the sand or in the shallow entry water. Affordable cottage experience without the long drive from Toronto. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;
