A private fourteen acre lake fed by artesian wells at Millgrove, about an hour from Toronto. The closest cottage country gets to the city.

Flamborough is built around a private fourteen acre lake fed by artesian wells, which is why the water is as clear as it is. Clear enough that diving schools come here to train, and it has been used as a triathlon training venue.
For most owners though, the real appeal is the drive. About an hour from Toronto, which turns a Friday evening into an easy run rather than an expedition, and makes going up for a single night worth doing.
There is a professional-grade sandy beach, a separate catch and release fishing pond kept for seasonal guests, and courts for volleyball, shuffleboard and horseshoes.
If wine country is more the draw than the drive, Vine Ridge is about an hour further on in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Four new models available at Flamborough, built by General Coach and Northlander Industries. Turnkey and furnished, with financing from 6.99% OAC.
Financing from 6.99% OAC with a deposit from 20 per cent. Lakefront sites here are the ones that go first, given how few of them there are around a fourteen acre lake.
You buy the cottage and pay a seasonal site fee for the lot it stands on. The fee covers site maintenance and access to everything on the resort.
Worth putting next to the drive. An hour from Toronto means you use a cottage here far more weekends of the season than one three hours north, which changes what the fee actually costs you per visit.
New cottage prices exclude HST. Decking and steps are quoted separately, as is any shed or storage you add.
Hydro and other utilities are billed separately from the site fee, and the cottage needs insuring.
With a deposit from 20 per cent. Approval and rate depend on credit, deposit and term.
Included in the seasonal site fee.

About an hour, which makes it the closest of our eight resorts to the GTA. Hamilton is around twenty minutes for shops and hospitals, and Niagara wine country is about an hour the other way. It is the resort people use for a single night rather than only for long weekends.
It is fed by artesian wells rather than a river or surface runoff. That is what keeps the water clear, and it is why diving schools train here and why it has been used as a triathlon training venue.
Diving does happen here and it is one of the things that makes the place unusual. Use of the lake is subject to the resort's rules and any certification requirements that apply, so check with the resort before you plan around it.
Yes, in a separate catch and release pond kept for seasonal guests rather than in the swimming lake. It keeps the fishing and the swimming out of each other's way, which is not the case at most resorts.
It starts at $4,775 and covers the season, site maintenance, all the resort amenities and the private fishing pond. Utilities are billed separately. Lakefront sites sit at the top of the range.
They come up, but rarely. There is only so much shoreline around a fourteen acre lake, so these are the first to go. Tell us early if that is what you are after and we will let you know when one is coming rather than after it has gone.
Millgrove sits in the Flamborough countryside above Hamilton, with the Niagara Escarpment and the Bruce Trail on the doorstep.
