This magical lakehouse is mere steps away from the water and there is room for you and seven friends to enjoy a relaxing summer getaway.

The gorgeous lakefront Airbnb in Ontario has a spacious deck where you can take in fiery sunsets over the water, and it's only about an hour from the city of Ottawa. The house has a clean, modern look and you can get your sweat on in a private sauna that has a window overlooking the water.

Propped on the banks of Sharbot Lake, a hidden lake in cottage country, you can hang out in a pretty blue lakehouse that looks like it belongs in a Hallmark movie. You can spend days sunbathing on the spacious deck and jumping off of the wooden dock and at night you can warm up in your own sauna before enjoying a crackling campfire.

You'll think you're at a private spa where you can go from the cool waters of this Ontario lake into a steamy sauna you have all to yourself. The panoramic barrel sauna is outside, right near the lake so you can peek out at those glistening waters as you sweat away the evening.

The sun sets right over the lake and you can enjoy this magical view sitting on the back deck, or from one of the many windows of the home. There are two adult kayaks available to use, two kids kayaks, a canoe and a stand-up paddle board that you can drift away on directly off of the dock.

The house itself is an open concept, with clean white accents, new comfortable seating and windows to admire the outside views from every room, including in the basement.

You don't need to worry about getting in your friends' space as there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms in the lakehouse. Three of the bedrooms have queen-sized beds and the fourth has a bunk bed with a double mattress on the bottom. If you wanted to squeeze in a couple more friends there is also an air mattress.

There is an extra hangout space in the walkout basement, with a second fireplace as well as a ping pong table. Wood is provided so you can use it in the downstairs fireplace or the fire pit out back.
