Winding Way in brief
Winding Way is a newly renovated cottage on Six Mile Lake in the Township of Georgian Bay, about 18 minutes from Port Severn and 2 hours 10 minutes from Toronto. It has four bedrooms and one four-piece bathroom, a great room with vaulted ceilings, wood beams and a stone wood-burning fireplace, a brand-new kitchen, several decks, a BBQ pavilion, a fire pit, a hammock, a pedal boat and deep, clear water off the dock. No pets.
Just renovated, just north of the city
Six Mile Lake sits at the southern gate of Muskoka, close enough to Toronto for a Friday arrival before dark and wild enough to feel properly northern: pine, granite and clear water. Winding Way has just been renovated from top to bottom, and it opens for guests this season.
The great room is the heart of it: vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, a stone wood-burning fireplace, new furnishings and a TV, with the lake beyond. The kitchen is brand new and fully equipped, finished in black and white under a warm wood ceiling, and the dining table seats eight with the forest at the windows.
Four bedrooms
The primary suite and the second bedroom each have a queen bed; the third has a double; the fourth is a bunk room with two singles, which the children will claim. There is one four-piece bathroom with a tub and shower.
Decks, pavilion and dock
Several decks give everyone a vantage point for morning coffee, with an unobstructed view down Six Mile Lake. A separate BBQ pavilion keeps the cook in the shade, there is a covered patio for dining, and a hammock strung among the pines for the afternoon. At the shore, the dock drops into deep, clear water for swimming and fishing, and a pedal boat is included. The fire pit is where the evening ends.
For supplies, Port Severn is about 18 minutes away. In season, Six Mile Lake Provincial Park and the Big Chute Marine Railway on the Trent-Severn Waterway are both about 20 minutes by road.
