Lantern Bay Resort is a resort-cottage community on Morrison Lake in Kilworthy, about 20 minutes south of Gravenhurst along the Trent–Severn Waterway. Run by Great Blue Resorts, it works two ways: rent a resort cottage for your holiday, or buy into cottage ownership and let someone else handle the maintenance. Either way you get the full resort wrapped around you.
The rental cottages sleep up to six in two or three bedrooms — pet-friendly, with full kitchens, air conditioning, and decks with propane barbecues for the full cottage ritual. Between the cottage door and the lake, the resort stacks the amenities: a heated salt-water pool plus a kids’ pool, Kidz Klub programming, a playground, a multi-sports court, a combed sandy beach, a recreational pavilion, and a private marina with boat rentals and tours. Daily community programming — yoga on the dock is a house favourite — keeps the social calendar full, and guests can borrow canoes to explore quiet Morrison Lake.
It’s the managed, sociable version of the cottage dream, popular with families who want the lake without the upkeep: drive up, dock the boat, and let the resort run the summer around you.
