As the listing describes, a quiet leafy suburb lulled to the lapping of the lake's waves.

We arrived to the most gorgeous cottage and were made feel entirely welcome.

Lucille and Alan arrived back as we were admiring their big old wooden staircase, and immediately we went for pizza and had wine.

Next morning we went for a walk along the bluffs with them, met their wonderful and quaint neighbour Lawrence and some bird watchers. Lucille made us porridge with fresh fruit and Alan left us to the train (twice).

If and when we return to Toronto, I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. I saw the sunrise over the lake and heard my first cardinal bird call. You can do all this from the comfort of your bedroom, which has a huge bed in wood (mahogany?) surround, and private ensuite with bath and a private sun room with table and chairs that you can relax at.

Just wonderful. You'll be sorry if you have to stay anywhere else.
