1117 Craftsman Drive, Algonquin Highlands

This inviting cottage on Wren Lake was designed to fit into the natural landscape rather than dominate it. The site was chosen with care. The privacy is very good, with over 300 feet of lakefront. The waterfront is classic Algonquin style with smooth rock shoreline and towering white pines. Landscaping has been kept low maintenance to blend into the natural setting and to allow you to focus on cottage pleasures rather than yard work. The cottage interior is all bright, open spaces with beautiful forest and lake views from the windows that line every wall. The layout works well for multi-generational families. The primary bedroom is located on the main floor with additional guest bedrooms on the upper level. French doors lead from the primary bedroom to the screened porch. The laundry and bathrooms are also on this level. The main floor living area is a very inviting space with high ceilings and a free standing woodstove. Floors and trim throughout are a soft, mellowed pine. The open concept design is perfect for entertaining or family gatherings. The kitchen is well laid out with plenty of cupboards and custom cabinets. It opens onto a screened porch overlooking the lake. A meandering path leads to a bunkie near the lake that will be popular with overflow guests, especially the younger crowd. Another path leads to the lake where there is a spacious dock with plenty of depth for diving. Wren Lake is the ideal size for paddle boarding, kayaking and perfect for water skiing and tubing. Canoe enthusiasts will appreciate that Wren Lake is part of the Black River canoe loop that begins at Raven Lake, connects to Little Wren Lake via a short portage, through to Wren Lake, the Black River and beyond. For motorsports fans there are miles and miles of ATV and snowmobile trails at your doorstep. The cottage can be used year round, with access via a privately maintained 4 season road. Many furnishings are included so you can begin your family cottage life this summer.
