Description: Dragonfly Cottage combines the charm of yesteryear with the amenities and conveniences of today, in a fabulous setting on Peninsula Lake only ten minutes from the town of Huntsville.  The cottage is full of character, while at the same time care has been taken to provide all that is needed for a comfortable stay.

A few stone steps lead from the driveway and parking area to a cozy, stone patio area at the entrance to the cottage.  Here, chairs and a table offer a seating area to catch the southern sun and a gas barbeque is provided.

A door leads from the patio to a bright, well-equipped kitchen with interesting d�cor and ample counter space.  A long peninsula opens to the large dining area, where the dining table has seating for eight.  Windows extend along the walls of the dining and kitchen areas and provide wonderful views of the lake. 

On this level of the cottage, there is a choice of living areas.   Comfortable furniture with seating for six can be found in the main living area.  The glassed-in Muskoka room that fronts the cottage has an unobstructed view of the water and a variety of comfortable seating options.   There is also a table at one end that will seat eight.   If desired, the screened windows may be opened to the cooling breezes.

There is one bedroom with queen bed, and one four-piece bathroom on this main  level.  A washer and dryer are located in a utility room near the kitchen.

Narrow, steep stairs lead to the unique, upper level of the cottage, where there are two bedrooms - one with a double bed and the other with two twin beds.  The windows with character open downward and can be latched open.  This level of the cottage is not suitable for seniors or for very young children because of the steepness of the stairs.

Another, more gentle set of stairs leads from the main floor to the lower level which walks out to the lake.  Here, another large living area has windows facing the lake. A computer desk provides a place to access high-speed internet, and a comfortable couch and chairs are located near the DVD player and its viewing screen.  A table and chairs on this level provide a place to play board games. On this level are two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with a king-sized bed.  There is a three-piece bathroom on this level.

A door leads from the lower level to the level, grassed yard facing the lake.   One side of the yard is edged with a small creek that babbles its way to the lake.  Lovely, twig lawn furniture faces the water, and nearby a fire-pit close to the lake will become another favourite spot. 

A second building on the property was once a boathouse.  Now it is furnished as a large and interesting sixth bedroom, with screened windows and a view of the lake.

Grass leads down from Dragonfly Cottage to the water, where there are a few stones to stabilize the shore.  The entrance into the water is shallow, with a soft, sandy bottom.  A long, large dock extends out from shore to where the water is about four to five feet deep.  There is ample space to moor a boat, should one be rented from nearby Huntsville Marine on Fairy Lake, or Mary Lake Marina on Mary Lake.  Boat launching is also available across the lake at Tally Ho Resort.

Peninsula Lake is part of a 40-mile chain of lakes that includes access to the towns of Huntsville and Port Sydney.  The southern shore of Peninsula Lake, where Dragonfly Cottage is located is part of an historic trail that winds its way along the front of the cottages for those who choose to explore on foot.  The cottage is within five to ten minutes� drive of five golf courses.   The town of Huntsville offers fine dining, quaint shops, groceries, hospital, the Pioneer Village and live theatre.  Famous Algonquin Provincial Park is only a thirty-minute drive, and Arrowhead Provincial Park is fifteen minutes away.

A stay at Dragonfly Cottage will be one filled with activity for those who choose it, or a time for relaxing and unwinding in the peaceful setting if that is preferred.  Come and enjoy!
