It is bright, open and comfortable with a large lawn, deck space and screened in porch for family bonding. With full laundry, amazing drinking water and full septic, life is easy at the cottage!

‘The Lazy Moose Cottage’ has been a family cottage for many years and we love sharing it. It sits safely uphill from the Magnetawan River, and at the mouth of beautiful Pickerel lake (about a 3 minute paddle)

The space is ideal for a couple or small family. It can sleep 5-7 very comfortably with the additional rental of the King studio (not available during the winter). The primary bedroom has a queen bed and the second bedroom has a queen bed with a single bunk above it. There is a single trundle bed as well when needed. A luxury bunkie is available for families needing extra space but is only available in spring, summer and fall. It’samazing!

Besides the campfire, horseshoes, water toys and lawn games, we also provide a collection of books, magazines and board games.

Without wifi or TV, guests may enjoy a digital detox. Depending on your phone provider though, our guests are able to ‘hot spots'.

During the winter months:

A winter rental at ‘The Lazy Moose’ is perfect for the adventurous types that looks forward to the reward of a secluded winter wonderland.

Guests park at the road and hike in. We will shovel the parking spot between stays, but if it snows during a stay, guests are responsible for clearing out their car. We provide a shovel and a large sled.

The trail from the roadside into the cottage is 200m long. It takes about 5 min. car to cottage.
There is also potential for a power outage. Welcome to cottage country!! :) We leave an emergency propane heater with a C02 detector as daytime back up. The cottage is well insulated, heats up and retains heat well.

The Lazy Moose is a perfect quiet getaway for small groups and families only. This rental is not suitable for groups looking to party. The cottage is pet friendly when approved beforehand.
