Nestled amidst the breathtaking beauty of the Georgian Bay landscape lies picturesque Six Mile Lake. An undulating shoreline brings the lake to the cottage in an almost all- encompassing manner, and the cottage is designed to defer to and embrace that serene splendor by connecting with it from every angle.

In this bustling urban environment, the modernized family finds refuge.
