LakeSide(3) - African "Dream Catcher" Theme |
 |
LakeSide(3) - Special Occasion Getaway |
- Imagine, 25ft (8m) high, beamed, western cedar, cathedral ceiling in the Great
Room, with a stunning stone fireplace and wood stove at opposite ends, and giant
African masks, exotic Zimbabwean stone carvings, and Botswana baskets for back
drop decor!
- Imagine, from near floor to ceiling, 50ft (16.5m) of side-by-side panoramic windows
and patio doors, overlooking a gorgeous lakefront. Absolutely no development on
the opposite side of the lake and no neighbouring cottages to be seen from the inside
either!! Imagine, LS(3) is so open concept that this view can be seen from everywhere
on the main level (including the kitchen & dining room), and from the 36ft (12m)
upstairs balcony overlooking the Great Room
- Imagine, a “cottagey” colourful heated Indian stone floor so beautiful, yet you
really don’t instinctively feel compelled to remove your shoes at the door;
(exactly what we wanted!!)
- Imagine, BBQing “inside” (always in the light & never in the rain) in a
“nautical” themed 3-season porch!! Additional features here include a giant
California woodburning fireplace, western cedar walls & ceiling, and a panoramic
view of the lake and a side woodlot
- Imagine, drifting off to sleep in the master bedroom with real bamboo covering
a 15’ (5m) high cathedral ceiling. Imagine beautiful African art & crafts decorating
the walls and a tall cute giraffe watching over from the head of the bed!!
Also imagine, 15’ (5m) of panoramic glass overlooking the lake, or a starry sky,
either from the walk-out balcony or while drifting off to sleep in your very
comfy "African themed" queen-size bed!!
- Imagine, a master bedroom ensuite that can also make you forget the real
world for a while! A perfect “south-sea” blue and green tile floor to compliment
a “tropical sea-shore” theme - to dream in. It features a very colourful,
“hotel-size”, tropical fish mural (exactly what you would see when snorkeling)!!
Patio doors (filmed for privacy) onto a 16’ (5m) balcony overlooking a beautiful
perennial rock garden. Imagine a gorgeous light green glass walk-in shower with
3 (grohe) shower heads, or a relaxing bath in a deep claw-foot tub! Abounding
are beautiful sea shells, driftwood, and wooden crocodiles eyeing a Sri Lankan
pole fisherman etc.
- Imagine, following new recipes in a beautiful, very spacious, and fully
equipped kitchen while following the “food network” on the kitchen TV
(housed in a slide-out hide-away cupboard). Or, while gandering at the beautiful
garden flowers through 15’ (5m) of connecting/panoramic windows over the counter.
Or, while observing bird feeder activity! Or, while looking the other way out
over the lake (as the main level is entirely open concept). Watch your fingers
when cutting!!
- Imagine, (almost?) absolutely everything is provided for a logistically
simple getaway & return – you need only to bring food, some personal toiletries,
reading material, golf clubs, fishing gear, & laptop if you can’t leave home
without it

East Deck Dinner - Southerly View |
Location
Lac de l’Argile, is approximately 80km north-east of Ottawa (in western Quebec),
on Hwy 309, past Buckingham & Notre Dame de la Salette, and 3 KM before Val-des-Bois.
It is within easy commuting distance to Ottawa - one hour (in non rush-hour traffic).
Lac de l’Argile is, by far, the largest lake in the area, and while motor are boats
permitted, it is also one of the quietest. Only about 40% of the shoreline is developed
and the lake is now “closed”. The serenity and quietness, even on summer week-days,
makes it very difficult to believe that you’re really here in prime season.

Even Misty Days are Inspiring |
