| Beautiful, clean Oastler Lake is the backdrop for this three-bedroom cottage only fifteen minutes from the town of Parry Sound. Located near the end of a quiet bay with lovely, western sunset views, the cottage property is well treed to provide shade, while it has numerous deck and dock areas where sun can be found.
The year-round cottage has a large screened porch with glass roof to let in the sunlight. Settle into the comfortable, new furniture to enjoy the views of the lake. A deck off the sun-porch runs across the front of the cottage and has ample space for sitting to enjoy the surroundings or for dining al fresco. A gas barbeque, swing chair with cushions, large dining table with six chairs and large umbrella will add to your comfort.
The cottage boasts a large, well-equipped kitchen area that opens to the dining area and sunken living area. A long counter between the kitchen and dining table will ease dinner preparations. A newer stove and refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and water cooler are provided. Ceiling skylights flood the room with natural light, while sliding doors lead off the dining area to a small deck at the east side of the cottage. A laundry room off the kitchen has a washer and dryer.
Large windows line the wall of the living area and look toward the lake. A Muskoka stone wood-burning fireplace creates ambience, while numerous board games provide an alternative to the television with its cable and DVD player.
A hall leads to the sleeping area of the cottage. Here there are three bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom. A sliding door leads from the master bedroom, with its queen bed, to a small, private deck. A second bedroom with a bunk bed (double below and single above) also has a small, private deck. The third bedroom is outfitted with a sturdy bunk bed, also with a double bed in the lower bunk.
Steps lead down from the front deck of the cottage to the waterfront. Here, there is a second deck with extra seating. Several steps down from this deck lead to the forty-by- eight-foot dock. The water off the dock is deep and is great for diving and swimming. If there are little ones in the group, there is an alternate swimming area on the other side of the property. Here there is a gradual entry into the lake and a firm sandy bottom. A canoe and paddleboat are provided for exploring the lake. Oastler Lake boasts some of the best fishing in the area with its deep, clean water, and the fisher in the group may find bass, pike, trout and musky.
Oastler Provincial Park is located a short distance down the lake. Here there is a sandy beach and boat launch. A second, public boat launch is located less than a kilometre from the cottage.
The town of Parry Sound has grocery shopping, dining opportunities, the Festival of the Sound, the Parry Sound Fall Festival, the Stockey Centre, and the Thirty Thousand Islands boat cruises. The picturesque town of Bala with its Fall Cranberry Festival is a short drive away, and the community of Foley has a library with internet access, a skating rink, and beach. Rocky Crest Golf Course is ten minutes away. The Madawaska Trail nearby provides multi-use trail opportunities, while Massassauga Provincial Park has wonderful canoe tripping. In the winter, downhill skiing at St. Louis-Moonstone is only forty-five minutes away.
