Opa’s Place

PROFILE

It was the cottage owner’s dream to honour the family legacy and turn a generational woodland refuge on Little Bob Lake into a spectacular Bavarian Guest House. The result is a fully renovated, professionally designed all season cottage home. Transformed by TV’s Scott’ McGillivray’s Vacation House Rules, the makeover can be found here: Scott McGillivray Transforms an Outdated Cottage Into a Dream Vacation Rental Beauty and comfort combine with distinctive character for this ultimate family vacation.

Almost 1,600 feet of living space, a drilled well for clean drinking water, 3 upstairs bedrooms, a bright and airy sunroom and flex sitting room doubling as sleeping quarters with a smart, Ikea sofa bed; everything about this cottage is welcoming, and filled with unique touches — like the modern barn door room separator. Outdoors? Wow, a hot tub, a brand new composite deck, beer garden (dry bar hut and keg fridge), gas firepit, dining area surrounded by perennials and led-lit glass railings . . . Yes, decadent, holiday splendour!

The cottage will comfortably sleep 6 -8 and is situated on almost 2 private acres, boasting southern exposure. There’s roughly 150 feet of rugged, well-treed frontage to the lake, a good dock and lots of watercraft for your enjoyment. Approximately 100 yards to the water, approximately 40 stairs, not very accessible to those with health or mobility issues.

This private oasis is only 10 minutes from the town on Minden for all your shopping needs, restaurants and entertainment — Music on the Gull, the Minden Hills Museum and Heritage Centre, Wild Water Preserve, Agnes Jamieson Gallery… and just over 2 hours north of Toronto.
