Living up near Algonquin Park, we
weren’t even able to enjoy the outside
in the evenings up here, let alone the
really bad months of May and June.
What a difference mosquito.buzz made!
This was the most time we have ever
spent outside in the summer. Everyone
was so knowledgeable and the service
was excellent - always showed up on
schedule, which made it really seamless
for us. We recommend this to everyone
we know! Thanks again.

Your Cottage Dream in
Peterborough & the Kawarthas
Cottaging is a Canadian tradition, as revered
as butter tarts and hockey, but over time it
has become more expensive and out of reach
for many. There are wonderful opportunities still
available in the more remote cottage areas.
The lakes that make up the Kawarthas have evolved
to become some of the most sought-after areas in
Ontario. Only a short drive from the GTA, it’s
accessible throughout the summer without the
intense traffic that you’ll find in other, more
traditional destinations.
A short drive from the lake area will bring you to
Peterborough—a growing city with all the amenities
you might want. Availability to shopping, variety of
restaurants, theatres, cinemas, churches, and medical
facilities.
One of our premiere lakes, Stoney Lake, has
properties climbing well into the millions of dollars
mark, but connected via the Trent Canal, you can
enjoy other beautiful lakes such as Pigeon, Bald,
Sandy, Buckhorn, Chemong, Deer, Lovesick and
Katchewanooka, at prices that make it possible to
buy and enjoy a recreational property for years and
generations to come. These beautiful waterfront
locations are bordered by lovely and vibrant towns
and villages like Lakefield, Buckhorn, Ennismore,
Young’s Point and Woodview.
One interesting twist in the market is an increase in
the number of people who are renting or buying
smaller dwellings where they work, an apartment or
condo, for example—and choosing instead to invest
greater sums in their recreational property. If you
consider the average price of a detached singlefamily
home in Toronto climbing to over 1.3 million
dollars it makes sense. Thanks to expanding
telecommunications throughout the Peterborough
and Kawarthas area and the growth of remote work,
an alternative lifestyle is available to many from
millennials to boomers.
