What if you could enjoy the tranquility, excitement and lakeside lifestyle that comes with time spent at the cottage, without all of the work that owning a cottage often entails? Even better, what if this could be more than just a weekend getaway, but your everyday life?

Whether you’re an outdoor adventurer who loves an early morning of kayaking, someone who enjoys a scenic stroll, or if you simply relish the idea of awakening to the lap and lull of the water, there is little denying that lakeside living can be a balm for body, mind and soul.

Rest and Relaxation

Just sitting by a lake can have a calming effect on us. There’s something indescribably peaceful about spending time by the water. This is where life’s natural rhythm takes over. In fact, significant research indicates that living near the water and natural green spaces can have a positive influence on your well-being.

Just imagine, the ebb and flow of the water, or the sight of water fowl at play, how about the brilliance of sunlight as it dances across the lake and the gentle rustle of a breeze in your hair. Here, you can unplug, unwind and simply breathe in your surroundings. Lakeside living leaves the hustle and bustle of the city behind. Doesn’t that sound like sheer bliss right about now?

Active Living by the Lake

Not ready to take it slow? No problem, because lakeside living can mean active living as well! Living on the lake in Barrie places excitement and outdoor activities right in your backyard!
