ADDRESS: 28 Magnet Road

NEIGHBOURHOOD: Magnetawan, Parry Sound District

AGENTS: Available through theriverhouse.ca

PRICE: $1,000/week for up to six people (May to August) or $305,000 to buy (plus $1,200 in property taxes)

THE PLACE: Located 30 minutes east of Parry Sound, this two-bedroom cabin is set on an acre of woodland along the bustling Magnetawan River, a canoeing and fly-fishing haven.

BRAGGING RIGHTS: The property includes a large canvas “glamping” tent. It has a queen-sized bed, a washroom, a private deck overlooking the outdoor fireplace and—crucial for anyone planning an early morning fishing trip—a coffee maker.
