Incredible Lake of Bays Hideaway
Watersedge Lakehouse is a pristine vacation home with incredible, unobstructed views of the larger bay area. Our group welcomed 2022 with a four day NYE weekend! The cottage is quite private offering every opportunity to relax and enjoy the beautiful nature surrounding the property and greater Dwight area. The hot tub overlooking the lake was fantastic, great assortment of board games & large open concept kitchen/living room (& 3 season room) overlooking the bay. The cottage had plenty of space, bedrooms and bathrooms to easily accommodate the 8 adults in our party. Many hiking/skiing trails within a short drive. The host responded to any questions within the hour and was very helpful in recommending local trails, etc. Hoping to return later this year!

Looking for a perfect cottage getaway for the family with incredible lakeside views and sunsets to remember? Look no further. This cottage completely WOWd my family. VERY kid friendly with hidden ‘Easter eggs’ all throughout the cottage and the grounds to keep them entertained and enchanted. We’re going to make this an annual booking.

Great location and accommodations
The cottage was awesome, it had all amenities we needed. Joanne also touched base a couple times to see if we needed anything or had any questions. The only downside was that there wasn’t much storage space for dry food or clothes as the cupboards and closets were full.
We would definitely consider booking this location in the future.
