🌲 Welcome to Bagz Place!
We are absolutely thrilled to welcome you to our little slice of heaven here at 3 Keele Road, in Whitestone. Five years ago, we fell completely in love with this property, the towering white pines, and the pristine waters of the Magnetawan Water System, its world class fishing and wildlife. It has been our ultimate escape, and we are so excited to share it with like-minded individuals who appreciate the magic of true Ontario cottage life.
This wonderful waterfront cottage is situated on approximately 2 acres of absolute peace and tranquility in Whitestone, Ont. If you are looking for constant boat traffic, crowds, or non-stop noise, this is not the right place for you.
Kick off your shoes, pour a cold drink, and get ready to unplug. You're on cottage time now!
