You don't need to spend your life savings in order to stay on a private island. This new Airbnb in Ontario lets you and your besties enjoy that private island life without breaking the bank.

This is the first year the island has been available to rent on Airbnb. Located in Parry Sound, the spot of land features a cozy cottage that sleeps up to nine guests.

You can enjoy amazing sunrise and sunset views while being totally immersed in nature. The rental comes with a fully equipped kitchen as well as well as a large family room with a fireplace.

Some unique aspects of the stay include a lighthouse bunkie that you can actually sleep in as well as an outdoor shower with an open-sky experience.

You can lounge on the private dock and take a dip in the surrounding water, warm up in the hot tub, and gather around the toasty fire pit at night.

The base rate of the Airbnb is $400 per night, meaning that, depending on the size of your group, you could stay here for pretty cheap. Six people could split the fare for under $70 per night each.

The price can vary depending on the date and size of the group and cleaning fees, service fees, and taxes will add a little more to your bill.

The cottage is accessible by canoe or by water taxi for an additional fee.
