Sunrise Lakehouse in brief
Sunrise Lakehouse is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom house on Lake Simcoe in Innisfil, about 1 h 35 from Toronto and five minutes from Friday Harbour. It sleeps 10, with a private beach, a seasonal 56-foot dock, two kayaks, a fire pit at the water, a coffee bar and wine fridge, and a main-floor bedroom with its own ensuite. Pets are welcome by approval.
Lake Simcoe, without the long drive
Leave Toronto after lunch and you are on the dock before the light turns gold. The house sits in a private estate neighbourhood in Innisfil, five minutes from the marina, restaurants and promenade at Friday Harbour, with parking for six cars and the lake, as one guest put it, right out the back door.
Inside, the plan is bright and generous: two living rooms, an open kitchen with oversized bar seating, and a dining table that seats all ten. White walls, wide windows and pale floors keep the attention where it belongs, on the water. Smart TVs, a PS4 and a shelf of board games cover rainy afternoons; air conditioning and ceiling fans cover July.
Four bedrooms, four bathrooms
There are three queen bedrooms and a bunk room with a double below and a single above, plus two sofas for overflow. The primary suite has a spa-style ensuite, and the second queen room has a soaking tub and a separate shower. One bedroom and its ensuite are on the main floor, a detail reviewers have pointed to: grandparents keep their own quiet corner, and nobody is queuing for a bathroom.
The kitchen and coffee bar
The kitchen is set up for a crowd: full-size appliances and a dishwasher, a coffee bar with a Nespresso machine and a traditional brewer, and a mini wine fridge by the bar seating. Out back, a BBQ and a covered patio with a dining set take dinner outdoors whenever the weather allows.
The waterfront
The yard runs down to a private beach and the 56-foot dock. The dock is seasonal and is generally in through the summer; ask us whether it will be in for your dates. The entry into the lake is shallow and gradual, which younger swimmers love, and the shoreline is natural, so pack water shoes. Two single kayaks and life jackets are provided, there is a playground for the children, and in the evening the chairs gather around the fire pit at the water’s edge.
The sound of the water was also amazing… the lake is right out the back door.

Firewood is not supplied, so bring your own or ask us where to pick some up nearby. If you tow a boat or a personal watercraft, there is a public launch just down the street.
A long weekend at Sunrise Lakehouse
- Friday, 4 p.m.
Check in, pour something cold from the wine fridge, and take the kayaks out while the lake is calm.
- Saturday morning
Coffee on the dock, then a swim off the beach. Friday Harbour is about five minutes away for a walk along the promenade and the marina.
- Saturday afternoon
Innisfil Beach Park for a long stretch of public shoreline, or Barrie’s waterfront on Kempenfelt Bay, about 26 minutes by road.
- Saturday night
Dinner on the patio, then the fire pit by the water. Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.
- Sunday
One last paddle before a 10 a.m. checkout, and home to Toronto before lunch.
In winter, the dock and swimming close for the season. The house stays open and Friday Harbour runs its own winter programme; ask us what is on for your dates. Drive times are routed estimates.
What guests say
The dock was where we spent most of our time. The kids loved being able to swim off the dock and paddle board from the beach.
Jacquelyn, July 2026Very peaceful, right on the water, very clean and a great set up for a group of people (in this case a writers retreat).
Tanya, May 2026We spent lots of time in the backyard and on the deck, and enjoyed fires by the water.
Christopher, September 2026The wine fridge and coffee bar were a definite plus.
