A Ray of Sunshine on Scugog feels like a charming story waiting to unfold. Nestled directly across a peaceful laneway from the sparkling shores of Lake Scugog, this delightful cottage beckons you to step into a world where relaxation meets a dash of adventure. Caesarea, a small town minutes from Port Perry and Bowmanville, offers the perfect blend of serenity and proximity. For guests traveling from Toronto, it's an effortless escape, just a short commute to a space filled with warmth and character.
As you approach, the charm is evident, with tastefully curated décor and meticulous maintenance setting the tone. Two queen-sized bedrooms, both featuring cozy yet elegant touches, greet you upon entry. The primary bedroom whispers of restful nights, while the second bedroom feels like a welcoming retreat for family or friends. Just beyond the sleeping quarters, the expansive living room opens up—a sanctuary of comfort with two seating areas, thoughtfully arranged around a log-effect propane fireplace. Whether you’re gathering to watch a movie on the flatscreen TV or sipping a morning coffee as the sun filters through the windows, this room is the heart of the home.
The kitchen, recently renovated but still holding onto the traditional Lake Scugog charm, is a haven for culinary creativity. Modern appliances meet rustic appeal, making meal prep a joy, especially with a BBQ grill just outside on one of two decks. With the large umbrella providing shade, the chef of the group can grill while staying cool. Around the side of the cottage, a patio set on the lawn awaits al fresco dining. Picture yourself here, savoring dinner under the open sky, while the twinkling lights create a magical ambiance around the property.
Further into the Backyard, the adventure continues. The backyard is an oasis of outdoor activities, from cornhole to competitive rounds of badminton or volleyball. Unwind in the hammock, or indulge in a session in the stunning barrel sauna. As the evening sets in, the firepit—surrounded by the glow of string lights—becomes the gathering spot. Imagine roasting marshmallows, telling stories, and watching the stars flicker above as the fire crackles warmly.
Across the cottage laneway, an adorable path leads you straight to a small, access point of Lake Scugog. While it is publicly accessible, it's a very quiet spot, most often enjoyed only by the guests who visit A ray of Sunshine on Scugog. Here, the natural stone entry welcomes you to the lake’s edge—perfect for a quiet moment with nature.
