Your waterfront place on Ontario's West Coast
A private waterfront retreat with a dock, river‑to‑lake views, and space to slow down in Port Franks.
A private waterfront escape on Ontario's west coast
A beautifully maintained double A‑Frame cottage on the Ausable River, with sweeping views toward Lake Huron and direct water access via private docks and seawall. Vaulted ceilings and floor‑to‑peak windows flood the open‑concept interior with natural light. A wood‑burning fireplace anchors the living area, while patio doors open onto a large waterfront deck made for dining, unwinding, and catching the sunset. The kitchen is fully stocked, sleeping arrangements are flexible for families or multiple generations, and the landscaped riverfront lot — complete with fire pit — delivers a quiet, private cottage experience connected directly to the water.
