The space
Creating Great memories with your kids, fantastic moments with your friends and a peaceful retreat for Yourself after a long week. It won't take you more than a second to feel this is HOME.

The cabin is on Black Donald Lake, which has an interesting historic story worth reading about. The large body of water is clean and safe for swimming and fishing. The drive to the cabin is peaceful and remote, access is maintained year round. Do take caution on your drive as there is lots of wildlife in the area. Upon arrival you will walk into the four season reading lounge, to the right is one of the main newly designed washrooms.
Entering into the main cabin is an open concept kitchen, dining, and living area over looking the lake. This modern space has a cozy ambience with the warm tones, soft textures & an indoor wood burning stove all while over looking lake.

Take a few steps upstairs to the master bedroom. The master has a comfortable king sized bed dressed with soft linens and a duvet. A private balcony perfect for enjoying your morning coffee is feet from the waters edge.
A secondary main bath with a claw foot soaker tub is relaxing and even offers a lake view from the tub.
Down the hall are two additional bedrooms with queen sized beds, natural & organic soft element's fill each room and again you can enjoy views of the lake from each room.

A large outdoor deck spans the waterfront side, lots of space for lounging and entertaining.
The property runs the shoreline for several hundred feet, expand to each side of cabin and explore the waters edge. A canoe is available for use.
The campfire seating area is close to the lake as you wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

Don't worry about the cabin being remote, a new Generac has been installed to ensure your comfort if the power should go out. WIFI is also available at high speed.

This cabin is truly unique and the location is dreamy; we hope you enjoy your time during your escape!

Clean and as Advertised
Great place! It was clean when we arrived and there were no surprises. The photos in the ad are accurate in their presentation of the cottage and area. One small quibble is that the PaddleBoard is not easy to inflate so if you want good watercraft be prepared to bring your own. We had bad weather but the cottage was nice and cozy and we relaxed and read and ate and drank. Thanks!

A beautiful view
Our stay at Black Donald Escape was actually perfect. The cottage itself was modern and cozy with all the required amenities. It actually exceeded our expectations from the ad. The cottage located on the south side of a peninsula, faces a small picturesque bay with no sight lines of other cottages. The view is beautiful. Swimming off the dock was great, a campfire on the shoreline was set each night, the mature trees surrounding the south facing deck provided enough shade to enjoy hours of relaxing outdoors. We hope to return.
