Unlock the Hidden Gem: Lake Simcoe

November 13, 2023

While Muskoka and Lake of Bays often steal the spotlight, Lake Simcoe remains a well-kept secret for those in the know. If you haven’t considered it, here are reasons why a Lake Simcoe cottage rental deserves a prime spot on your vacation radar:

Crystal Clear Bliss

Lake Simcoe offers crystal-clear clarity. Dive into the refreshing, fish-friendly blue waters reminiscent of an ocean retreat, minus the salt.

Sandy Serenity

Much of Lake Simcoe flaunts a soft sand bottom, making it a pleasure to wade in without encountering anything slimy or sharp beneath your feet. Ideal for children and those averse to deep waters.

Private Pools

Escape the lake chill in style – almost half of our properties in Simcoe come with pools. Perfect for those shoulder-season swims or late-night dips beneath the stars.

Architectural Elegance

Experience ultra-luxe living with our Lake Simcoe properties. Many boast new, luxurious builds, offering a Malibu Lakehouse feel.

Accessible Paradise

With predominantly flat terrain, accessing Lake Simcoe’s shores is a breeze. The gradual decline to the water is perfect for those with mobility concerns, and the expansive, lush lawns offer ample space for land sports.

Toronto's Backyard

  1. Positioned on the west side of the lake off Highway 400, our Lake Simcoe properties are a mere stone’s throw from Toronto, slashing travel time on those bustling Friday summer nights. The convenience extends to accessible transport options like the GO Train or Uber.

City Conveniences

Proximity to cities like Barrie, Orillia, and Innisfil ensures you’re never far from shopping, diverse dining options, and a range of activities. Embrace the modern amenities on rainy days, including movie theaters, shopping malls, and bowling alleys, all within easy reach. Oh, and Uber services many lakeside locations on Simcoe, meaning you can get meals delivered or chauffeured to dinner in style.

  1. Discover the allure of Friday Harbour Resort in Innisfil, a thriving hub around Lake Simcoe. Luxe condos, a marina, boardwalk, pier, and upscale dining and shopping options create a Miami-inspired experience. Open to the public, Friday Harbour promises a taste of luxury, events, and year-round activities, including the enchanting Holiday Market where the Promenade transforms with holiday decorations, featuring a 40’ Christmas Tree, live entertainment, and holiday-inspired vendors – a perfect spot for a unique holiday gift.

Lake Simcoe – your next destination for unparalleled relaxation and sophistication.
