This cottage is located 1 mile east of Hwy 41,on a paved road with a 30 km speed limit. This road is on an isthmus which virtually divides the lake into North and South Beaver, with just a narrow gap of water joining the two lakes. The cottage is located on a point, on the north shore of South Beaver, giving it eastern, southern and western exposure. There are plenty of trees, allowing you to choose to sit in the sun or the shade, for virtually the whole day. The lot is 205 ft. x 100. You can drive your car to within 25 ft of the door for unloading purposes. There are plenty of neighbours close by, and yet there is ample privacy.
The cottage is 24 x 32 ft. It has one bedroom with queen bed, one bedroom with double bed, and one bedroom with double futon. There is a washroom with shower, but no tub. There is a washer and dryer. There is a dish washer, microwave & BBQ. There is a TV/DVD. There is a phone, (but it can be disconnected). The cottage is clean and bright, close to the water, with lovely views of virtually the whole South Beaver Lake. There are two docks, and a swim raft.
Equipment such as a square-back canoe, kayak, or fishing boat can be made available.
For reference, our weeks run from Saturday to Saturday. Move in time is 2:00 pm, and move out time is 10:00 am.
The phone is a Rogers cellphone base. The plan allows unlimited long distance within Canada. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE LONG DISTANCE CALLS OUTSIDE CANADA.
Cell phone service has improved in the area, and is available consistently at good strength.
The Salmon River connects to the north shore of Beaver Lake. This river is a great place to paddle up; it stretches for approx. 2km winding through forests and marshland. You always see wildlife such as deer, beavers, muskrats, and turtles. You can paddle down the Salmon River (approximately 4km) to the small concrete dam where you can ride the rapids on your inner tube or just explore the shoreline for crayfish.
