A full-scope renovation and seasonal rental conversion of a lakefront property sitting just 20 feet from a 75-foot shoreline on Cook's Bay, Lake Simcoe. The vision: transform a traditional 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage-style home into an attractive four-season destination rental — complete with a bunkie, a converted boat house, and a log cabin-style guest suite.
The renovation leans into a cozy, rustic lakehouse aesthetic: natural wood trims throughout, butcher block countertops, a new fireplace, restored original wood lap siding finished with traditional pine tar, and new windows oriented toward the water. The front and rear decks will be extended to create generous outdoor living space overlooking the lake.
The existing 400 sq ft stucco-faced garage is being converted into a log cabin-style bunkie, and the original boat house has received a full structural upgrade and is being transformed into a large kitchen with massive windows framing an uninterrupted view of the lake. A new roof extension now stretches over a generous poured-concrete backyard patio — covered outdoor living right at the water's edge. A 35-foot wooden dock, Tesla/EV charging stations, updated landscaping, and full safety code upgrades round out the project.
Dreko Property Management handles all seasonal bookings, guest turnover, and ongoing maintenance — critical for a lakefront property that takes year-round environmental punishment from Lake Simcoe's winds, ice, and weather cycles.
