A new house on Lake St. John

Lake St. John is a quiet lake just north of Orillia, between Lake Couchiching and the start of cottage country. Blue Bird Lakehouse is one of the newest houses on it: an A-frame, newly built, with high-end finishes and furnishings throughout. It is offered for monthly stays, which makes it a simple arrangement: a fully furnished lake house for a season of remote work, a renovation at home, or simply a long, slow month by the water.

The main floor is open, with a great room under vaulted ceilings, huge windows and a stone wood-burning fireplace. The new kitchen has a large island that seats five and a dining table for eight. Downstairs are a games room and a powder room.

The sauna

On the lower level, an indoor cedar sauna is a warm place to end a cold day. Heat, a cool shower, then a chair by the fire: on a monthly stay, it becomes part of the house.

Four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms

The primary bedroom has a king bed, a walkout to the deck and access to an ensuite bathroom. Two bedrooms have queen beds, and the fourth has a queen and a double. The house has 3.5 bathrooms in all, including one with a double vanity and a standalone shower and another with a tub.

At the water

Outside, the deck has glass railings for an unobstructed view of Lake St. John, a BBQ, a seating area and a fire pit. The private dock is good for swimming and fishing. The house is on a year-round road, and Orillia, with its market, restaurants and the waterfront at Couchiching Beach Park, is about 22 minutes away.
