The space
We believe time may be the ultimate luxury in life. Vista Lakehouse is perfect for everyday moments and those precious memories. Come enjoy nature in our modern cottage, relax while the southern light pours in from the wall of windows as you enjoy your morning coffee, grill your favourite meal on the deck as you listen to the laughter of your loved ones swimming in the lake, and explore nature right outside your front door!
Create lasting memories whether you are gathered around the fireplace in the winter or the dock in the summer! Doe Lake is known for it's fishing, but you may also decide to explore this large lake, with all of its inlets by canoe or kayak. Doe Lake is also connected to the famous Magnetawan River, which flows all the way to Georgian Bay; there's no shortage of water to explore!
