Home detail

The cottage has high ceilings with beautiful Baltic pine floorboards throughout.

King master bedroom: A beautiful sanctuary with French doors that open onto a private deck with bistro seating - a perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee or evening glass of wine.

Second bedroom: Spacious room with Queen bed and French doors that open to the side garden and fill the room with natural light.

Third bedroom: Cozy room with a Queen bed, a rich earthy colour scheme, and located adjacent to the newly renovated main bathroom.

As part of the cottage's heritage restoration, the original layout has been preserved, so there are no ensuite bathrooms. There is a main bathroom and separate toilet, and on the other side of the house a new powder room, with toilet and basin.

Kitchen and Dining: Spacious, warm and welcoming, with a large central island, while the dining room showcases exceptional design magazine-worthy features.

The Deck: The expansive deck is one of the property's standout features and one of the cottage's most loved spaces. The elevated deck opens out from the lounge and offers sweeping views to the surrounding mountains. It features generous seating for eight, complemented by a classic American porch swing! A beautiful setting to relax, dine and take in the scenery - and ask us about special celebration table setting treatment!

A Mountain Biker's Dream: A Purpose-Built Bike Hub! A dedicated cyclist workshop provides secure bike storage and a fully equipped repair station, along with a relaxed post-ride lounge space to unwind and recharge.

The fireplace is not currently operational, but will be for next Winter.
