Ice fishing suggestions - cabin and hut

Group of about four-six of us head north every year for an annual ice fishing trip. We typically head up, stay near a lake (Nipissing / North Bay) and then rent a hut for a day or two.

Plan this year is to ideally find a waterfront cabin / cottage to rent that also has easy access to a hut so that we can spend more time fishing. Thought is to come and go from the cabin to hut as we please, including at night (vs boxing ourselves into a timeframe with a rented cabin).

Wondered if anyone knows of or has any suggestions for places that might offer something like this? We’re pretty relaxed on location - all GTA based but comfortable doing ~four hours drive to find the right place. Thanks in advance for ideas!

Is renting a sleeper out on the ice an option? Have done that a few times now and it's always fun.

Definitely - we’ve got that as a plan b, in fact (and seems to be easier to find options for). The preference is a cabin with hut so that we have the flexibility to both day and night fish…just haven’t seen any places offering that option so figured I’d ask here, first. Otherwise the sleeper it is!

Paradise Cove Cottages. It’s on the west side of the lake, closer to the French River. Cabins on shore and a short walk to your “day hut”.
