Lakeside Escape in Ramara | Private Water Access

Welcome to your peaceful escape on the shores of Lake Simcoe in McPhee Bay. This waterfront retreat in Ramara offers the perfect blend of cozy indoor comfort and outdoor adventures — ideal for families, couples, or small groups.

This inviting lakeside home is perfect for year-round escapes, whether you’re enjoying sunny summer days on the water or cozy winter weekends exploring nearby trails. Inside, the open-concept layout is bright and welcoming, with large windows that frame the views of McPhee Bay. With direct lake access, you're just steps from swimming, paddling, or taking in peaceful sunsets in the warmer months—and in winter, it's an ideal base for ice fishing, snowshoeing, or enjoying Orillia’s seasonal events.

Kitchen:

The kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials for preparing meals at home, including a full-size fridge, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, cookware, and utensils—perfect for everything from hearty winter breakfasts to summer BBQ sides. All you need to bring is Nespresso coffee pods, your preferred cooking oil and seasonings!

Bedrooms:

Upstairs, you’ll find two comfortable bedrooms, both with Queen beds. One offers a lake view, making it the perfect wake-up spot. The home includes a full bathroom with a shower/tub combo and a second half bathroom. Shampoo/conditioner is not supplied. Linens and basic toiletries are provided for your stay.

Outdoor Space:

Spend summer days lounging on the spacious deck, complete with outdoor seating and a BBQ. Bring your paddleboards or kayaks for direct lake access, or unwind by the shore with a good book. The lake stays around 3–5 feet deep for about 100 feet out, perfect for water sports and swimming. As the weather cools, enjoy crisp lakefront air, winter walks, and nights around the fire pit with hot drinks and s’mores under the stars.
