The Neighbourhood

Wasi Lake offers a quaint, rural type get-away for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Being right on the water, you can enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, or simply layout and catch some sun. There are local walking trails and public beaches around the lake. Motorboats are allowed on the lake. There are walking trails on Wasi Lake located a short 5 minute drive away called Laporte Trails off of river road. Duchesnay Falls is a hiking trail with beautiful scenic views located in North Bay. The Mattawa River Provincial Park is a short 30 minute drive. We always enjoy taking a day trip just about an hour drive to beautiful hiking trails and beaches at Arrowhead Provincial Park and on another day you can visit a variety of hiking trails in Algonquin Park which is about 1 h30 minute away.
In the winter months skiing is 30 mins to Laurentian ski hill and 1 hour to Hidden Valley ski resort. There is no shortage of snowmobile trails in the area either. Specific locations can be provided upon request or in the welcome booklet.

Staying on Wasi lake provides 3 easy options to get what you may need. The town of Astorville is a short 10-minute drive away and has gas, groceries and LCBO. The town of Powassan is 20 minutes away and has all the charm of a small Ontario town, including gas, a mid-size grocery store, hardware store, bank, beer store & LCBO, convenience store and independent restaurants. The city of North Bay is a 25-minute drive and includes everything a large size city has to offer including a large shopping mall, many restaurants and summer activities for the family.

We had an amazing time on our hunting trip and this cottage was one of the reasons why. Cozying up beside the wood stove after a long day of walking was just what my husband and I needed! We hope to be back again next year

Had a lovely, relaxing weekend. Only downfall was a rotted plank on the deck that almost caused a fall and not the greatest accessibility to the dock. otherwise it would have been perfect!

Beautiful Honeymoon Getaway
Absolutely beautiful stay! Incredible views from the cottage/dock. We came for a weekend honeymoon to come up from Friday to Tuesday, we did get double booked the Friday but the hosts fully accommodated our stay for 4 extra nights and let us stay from Saturday to Friday. They were quick at responding and gave us plenty of notice. It was so relaxing and just what we needed after wedding planning! We loved using the woodstove on chilly nights. The sunsets were incredible. We will definitely be coming back in the future! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

Lovely lake but…
My friend and I spent two nights at this cottage. The lake is peaceful and we had great weather. The cottage itself was not what I expected. I would not recommend this cottage for anyone with mobility issues, small children or seniors. The stairs to the two bedrooms are steep and open (other than a hand rail). The bedrooms are decent but the one with two beds has dormers over the beds (watch your head!). The bathroom is on the main level. I live rurally so I have a well and septic. The cottage well water smelled horrible. It has a strong metal odour which sticks to your skin, so bring lots of bottled water to wash up, brush your teeth, cook with and then lug all of your recyclables home. While the lake is beautiful and there is a nice dock, getting to the dock can be a challenge. The few ‘steps’ are uneven and can be hard to negotiate for those with even minor mobility issues. In general, it was not a horrible stay but certainly not what I was expecting. I was hoping the inconvenience of bringing all bedding, bath and kitchen linens, toilet paper, paper towels, etc…would be outweighed by the cottage and lake, but it was not. This is just my recent experience.

Awesome location, quaint cabin
We absolutely loved the location of the cabin and the amenities- having the paddle board and canoe was a highlight. We loved being right on the lake and even though there are neighbors we liked the seclusion of it. The communication with host was easy and always had a quick response. Only cons- this place needs a good deep cleaning, there isn’t any a/c- which was doable since you can open windows and get breeze off lake but the windows were really dirty too. They do have several fans available to use as well. Overall I would stay here.

Our Wasi Lake Stay
This is a very special place in that the cottage is very spacious inside and has a huge deck and dock and really stunning and serene views of the lake. Its very quiet and peaceful and you can't hear a sound at night. We brought two dogs as we invited our friend and they were in dog heaven jumping off the dock into the water fetching the ball. The beds are very comfortable and there is another stunning view of the lake from the master bedroom . When an issue arose the owners were very communicative and accessible. The kitchen and washroom are little rustic and could use an upgrade but certainly not a deal breaker. The grounds had some detritus from the former renters that could have used some cleaning up but again we did it and not a deal breaker. There are some nearby public beaches that were fun to visit also. We would definitely come back. Best Adrienne Mitchell

Beautiful Getaway
We had an amazing experience renting from Justin and Vanessa. This property is so well kept. It's extreamly clean both inside and outside of the cottage. There is a smaller cabin with a pull out couch right beside the main cabin, which thr hunni and i slept in- Waking up in that cute little room with the sun shining in on us while over looking thr lake, was a surreal experience. It's a great idea if you have alot of people staying together so Mom & Dad can have a quiet space :) There are fans all around the cabin to provide comfort for everyone when it hot out, which we didn't expect, but we're very grateful. There was coffee, tea, games and many other little things we might have forgotten at home. We rented the boat, which was in great condition-we probably caught well over 20 Walleye during our stay. Justin and Vanessa were very informative and fast to respond to us when we had inquires. Overall, our stay was a much needed, stress free visit, and we will definently return in the future!!!!! Signed, 4 Happy Cottagers ❤️
