Stoney Lake Cottage Facelift - Kawartha Lakes Construction

Stoney Lake Cottage Facelift

Having spent a few summers at their cottage, our client had a clear idea of what improvements they were looking for. They came to us with a detailed wish list to assist our team in direction of the project.

The existing screened porch was cut off from the upper BBQ deck. With a 2’high knee-wall lake side and half wall to the upper BBQ deck, the flow was chaotic and forced traffic in and out of the living area to access each of the two spaces. We replaced the half wall with a patio door and removed the knee wall. In the place of the knee wall we added clear tempered glass and weather wall screens above. A coat of white wash to the weathered pine walls also brightened up the space.

The end result is a comfortable and relaxed space that feels like an outdoor living room in a tree house. The room connects easily to the adjoining BBQ deck area without the added traffic flow through the cottage. The weather wall screens allow moderation of elements to make the space enjoyable throughout the summer. The BBQ deck was expanded to the end of the cottage to create a more comfortable space. A full flight of stairs was brought to the lower level landing which ties into an expanded lower deck (below the screened in room). Our clients opted for maintenance free finishes (Trex Aztek rail, and Fiberon composite decking) to optimize their enjoyment of their time at the cottage. We removed the tired lattice work below the cottage and replaced it with horizontal 2x screening to complete the exterior remodel of the cottage.
