The cabin has two main-floor bedrooms. Here’s one of them, which looks onto the screened-in porch:
Here’s the other:
The kitchen sticks to a yellow-and-teal colour scheme:
The bathroom has laundry facilities. There’s an oil furnace, and the place is partially winterized:
Here’s the view of the cabin from the water. The roof was replaced in 2003:
The dry boathouse has two floors. The lower is currently used as a workshop:

Lakefront property on Lake Rosseau is in high demand. In an area known for giant mansions on the water, it’s rare to find cottages with so much character.
The retro vibes aren’t for everyone. But let’s be real: at this price, the new owners are probably going to want to knock the cabin down and build anew.
