It is remarkable how fast the city of Midland recedes into the background when you turn off the main road on to Sumac Lane. The tree-lined cottage road soon lets you know that you are definitely at the cottage, although the town is close by and easily accessible when you need it. Little Lake is not well known, generally lost in the shadow of the much larger Georgian Bay, but it offers its own special cottage vacation.

Stepping into the cottage, the open concept living, kitchen and dining areas open up before you, all enjoying a wonderful lake panorama. A walkout takes you onto a wonderful deck where the views and breezes are second to none. The main bedroom and bath are on this level as well. The lower level include 2 bedrooms, a 3-piece bathroom and a family room (a perfect place to enjoy board games or a good book) and feature a walkout to one of the star attractions here, the hot tub!
A set of stairs takes you down to the waterfront. the entry to the water is shallow and it remains shallow out to beyond the dock, making it a spot for toddlers and non-swimmers to enjoy.

The local area offers shopping and history. A visit to the Wye Marsh Conservation Area is the choice of many. The towns of Penetanguishene and Midland are well known for their small town charm. Take in a concert at the Midland Cultural Centre (be sure to look for the Midland Murals), enjoy a round of golf at one of the local courses or take a boat ride with Miss Midland Cruises. On the other side of the lake, you will find Little Lake Park, a picturesque park with both natural and active settings. Home of the YMCA, Georgian Bay Rowing Club, North Simcoe Sports and Recreation Centre, Huronia Museum and Huron Ouendat Indian Village, Huron Ouendat Ossuary, Midland Curling Club, Midland Lawn Bowling Club, Skateboard Park, Civitan Ball Diamond, Beach Volleyball Courts, Tennis Courts, Dog Park, Basketball Court, Disc Golf, play equipment, boating (10hp and under only), prescribed burn and naturalized areas, community garden, horticultural displays, nature trails, picnic shelters, three separate washroom facilities, snack bar.

Then again, a relaxing afternoon with a glass of wine on the deck punctuated by a dip in the hot tub may be all you need to let the stress of everyday life disappear for a week.
