Set along the shores of Rice Lake, AWAY Cabins offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully developed waterfront property ideal as a family compound or live-and-work lifestyle retreat. The property includes five fully winterized nordic inspired guest cabins plus a two-bedroom waterfront residence, creating a flexible setting for extended family, guests, or multi-generational living. Over the past several years the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a welcoming lakeside retreat. The cabins have been redesigned for year-round use and the grounds feature inviting outdoor gathering spaces overlooking the water. Amenities include a sauna building, covered hot tub, yoga platform, docks and waterfront seating areas, all designed to embrace the natural beauty of the shoreline and the spectacular Rice Lake sunsets. Each cabin is comfortably appointed with modern finishes, heat pump heating and cooling, and private living spaces that provide both comfort and independence for guests. Whether enjoyed as a private waterfront compound, a gathering place for family and friends, or a home base for a lifestyle business, the property offers exceptional flexibility. Located approximately 90 minutes from Toronto and part of the scenic Trent-Severn Waterway system, Rice Lake offers an easy escape from the city while remaining close to the historic towns of Cobourg and Port Hope, known for their restaurants, shops, and vibrant arts communities. Offered fully furnished and ready to enjoy, this unique waterfront property blends lifestyle, flexibility, and opportunity in one remarkable setting. It is currently being operated as a seasonal boutique resort.
