Cozy cottage 1.5hrs from Toronto. Steps to private waterfront, lake facing deck.

Beautiful cozy cottage on a quiet private lane. Located just 1.5hrs from Toronto. Big picture windows over looking the lake. Steps to private eaterfront on Lake Erie. Please be aware that high water levels in Lake Erie can effect beach conditions and size on a daily basis. Large common areas. Big beautiful deck facing the lake.
The cottage works basically the same as a regular house in the city with a few minor exceptions. The water supply is from a cistern tank and not safe for drinking. Simply bring drinking/cooking. Water is good for everything else (showers, dishes, cleaning, brush teeth etc.)
