Casa Manana

Cottage | 7 Bedrooms | Sleeps 16

Accommodation - Description

Casa Manana cottage is very secluded and is located on the East shore of prestigious Sandy Lake. It’s a 3,000 sq. ft. cozy A-Frame style finished with a unique South-Western/Navajo decor. It has a 20ft. high vaulted pine ceiling in the living room/dining room area, and stunning panoramic views of the Lake and sunset.

Casa Manana has seven bedrooms, a living room with a stone fireplace, a gourmet kitchen with new stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, dining room, family room, three 4-piece bathrooms, and a screened-in porch. It is surrounded by 1,100 sq. ft. of deck overlooking the lake. The shore line is approximately 160 ft. of rugged granite flowing into a white sandy bottom. There’s a fire pit, a dock, a picnic table, and plenty of Muskoka style chairs to relax in. Water sport equipment includes a canoe, kayak and paddle boat. An aluminum fishing boat is also available.

Sandy Lake is spring fed, quite shallow, and has a white sandy bottom (hence the name Sandy Lake). What makes this Lake so unique is its clearity and colour. On a sunny day, the water is a turquoise colour - you'd think you were in the Caribbean! Also, since the lake is shallow it's great for kids, and warms up very early in the season.

Casa Manana is just 2 hours from midtown Toronto, and conveniently located just ten minutes from the town of Buckhorn, where you’ll find a Food Land, LCBO/Beer Store, and restaurants. It’s also close to Lakefield and Bobcaygeon, quaint little towns with great shopping, and only 35 minutes to Peterborough.

The wood and stone decor is so cozy and it gave us such a "homey" feeling. So wonderfully decorated. My favourite part was the outdoor firepit by the lake! It is set up perfectly for a nice evening gathering! We got some beautiful pictures while the sun was setting over the lake. The ducks were literally laughing at us when the sun went down!

Wonderful family memories

This was the perfect place for a group of young professionals to get a break from the city and enjoy the lake! The cottage was beyond beautiful with just the right about of rustic touches. The pictures do not do it justice thats for sure. The common space inside was perfect for the cold weather but we did get a few hours of sun outside to enjoy the dock.

Gorgeous property

My family and I wanted you to know that we had a lovely, lovely, time at your cottage this weekend. My husband, Dave, was totally surprised and overwhelmed with the weekend and loved your décor in the cottage. Everyone was so happy with the amount of space we had, all the activities, and the beautiful walks, and the all extras. It was great for our family to be together.

We had a great week

Hi Wayne, we had a great week at Casa Manana. The weather was great for the first three days and we took advantage of the lake on those days. On the rainy days we visited Bobcaygeon, the winery, and walked some trails. Our families had a great time and our kids had a blast. Thanks again for renting the cottage to us and we hope to have another visit next summer!

Your cottage is so beautiful

This cottage is gorgeous!! The pictures don't do it justice.

Sandy Lake is our favourite lake

Phil | Casa Manana - Sandy Lake

Review Submitted: June 23, 2010 | Rating: 5/5

I've rented from Wayne 4 times now and never had an issue with him (company). His two cottages are on the same lake (Sandy Lake), one of the nicest lakes our family has ever visited. We are avid campers/cottagers and consider Sandy Lake our favourite lake, hence the repeat visits. Rest assured the lake is a very good lake for swimming with a sandy/clay bottom. We hate swimming in lakes with weeds, and thankfully both his cottages have lake front that is void of weeds. One year we actually swam on the first weekend in June (and were surprised how warm it was). Phil

We had a wonderful time
