About the host
Hosted by Kyra Dahlke
I grew up at Zum Waldhaus cottage rental and bed and breakfast. Having many fond memories of Cardiff Lake, my husband and I decided to purchase them in 2012 from my father. Currently I am an artist and art teacher, and offer art and yoga retreats throughout the year. I live in Orillia with my family where I have my studio.
Why they chose this property
Having grown up here, I always loved the magic of the forest and lake. The smell of the ferns, the sound of the loons, the fresh air and the trees bring me to my happy place every time. I love cycling along the rail trail, I love swimming, hiking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing. There are many places that are beautiful throughout Canada that I have enjoyed but this will always be home.
What makes this property unique
Its the view of the lake in all of the seasons that do it for me. I can't wait to dive into the water each morning. Also watching the baby loons grow up each day a little more. There are some time periods in the winter when the forest is so silent that my ears ring. Oh and the stars! There are so many stars! Sometimes I have even seen northern lights.
