Two 'Bunkie Life' bunkies, both built in 2022, provide extra space for guests, teens or visiting family. A gently sloping path leads to the water, where you'll find a fixed dock with two iconic red Muskoka chairs and a new cantilevered aluminum dock added in 2025.

The village of Westport is just 10 minutes away, while Foley Mountain Conservation Area offers approximately 10 km of beautiful hiking trails. Upper Rideau Lake, the summit of the historic Rideau Canal system, is renowned for excellent boating and fishing. This is more than a cottage on a great lake-it's a place to slow down, gather together and make memories for years to come. Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to make it your own.
