Just southeast of Sauble Beach, hidden away among high trees, Gould Lake is considered a paradise by those who live & summer there. And with good reason. About 1.5 miles long & 1 mile wide, Gould Lake is spring fed. The shape is quite unique. From the air it looks like a giant sugar bowl with God's long finger reaching in for a taste. Along approximately six miles of wooded shoreline, protected from high winds & weather, summer cottages & a few permanent homes rest quietly in the shade. Two narrow winding roads string the cottages together like so many beads.
Gould Lake has a tranquil air about it as people unwind from city life. There are numerous activities on the lake. Waterskiers flit across the lake, hardly disturbing fishermen who cast for pike, pickerel 'n bass. Some of the best fishing around (so I'm told!!!). Sailboats, canoes, paddleboats & windsurfers drift across the water. And don't forget the swimmers! If you're in for a hearty swim, head for the peninsula that runs up the middle of the lake (about a half-mile round trip). In winter ice-fish & cross-country ski on nearby trails.
Unique secluded cottage with 125 ft lakefront. Heavily treed property. Year round access. 5 minutes to Sauble Beach, 2 hours to Kitchener-Waterloo, 3 hours to Toronto/London. Approx. 1,000 sq. ft. living area with 3 bedrooms, 3 piece & 1 piece baths, large dining room & separate living room, updated kitchen with custom cabinets, countertop stove, fridge & microwave oven, ceiling fans, steel roof, wood stove, space heater, pressurized water system, hot water heater, septic.

You can use the cottage year round. Ok no running water in the winter, but it is possible to install a hot wire system to provide it. We spent many great winter weekends there, skating on the lake, cross-country skiing and just vegging out, away from the stress of the city.
