Your Private Space

Bayloft is an isolated and removed location hidden from the crowds of the city. This private location boasts hundreds of feet of shoreline, ideal for water sports and regeneration.

the Beauty of Nature

Bayloft is at the edge, between the forest on the lake, nestled into the rugged granite rocks of the Algonquin Highlands. Here the animals live, the birds sing, and the trees fill the forests.

Clear night sky full of stars and wonder. Come relax in the calm and quite of nature. At the Bayloft Island Cottage we have an abundance of nothing to do.

"We stayed for a week in July with our two dogs and it was sublime. Private, peaceful, and well appointed. Beautiful secluded spot. The swimming was fantastic, the new dock makes a great place to dangle your toes and forget the city. Perfect place to restore your spirit. Owner was most helpful and informative. Everything was just right. Great experience."

"Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Bayloft. The cottage was very well equipped with all your kitchen needs, a great bbq, and an overall wonderful experience.
Loved the dock & swimming a nice calm bay to paddle board next time I'm bringing a kayak fishing was good (we need to find the hot spots) upon arrival we had a tour from Daiv & he explained everything that we needed to know about the cottage.
We hope to be back at The Bayloft next year."

Daiv has the most beautiful property and cottage which we were fortunate to enjoy 2 years in a row with our kids. They were great hosts in giving us information and tours of the area and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.

We enjoyed the serenity of the lake, the privacy of the property, the incredible view and paddling around the island. The mornings and evenings are unbelievably beautiful and spent most of our time enjoying the dock and the lake.

I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone who wants to have a wonderful, peaceful time with their loved ones.
