About this property

Our bright and cozy cottage is on a quiet spot nestled among tall trees and not visible from the road. You can experience the forest with the convenience of being only 5 minutes away from the town of Marmora & Lake. It's the perfect place to relax, enjoy nature and make memories. Sip your favourite drink on the deck overlooking the forest, relax on the hammock enjoy stories around a bonfire while you hear the lovely sounds of nature. We'll lend you a kayak/paddle board to enjoy during your stay.

The cottage is 5 minutes off highway 7 in Marmora and Lake. It is located on a quiet street that hosts many cottages between Crowe lake and Crowe river. The house is not visible from the road and you need to walk downhill to get to the house. Not ideal for people who can't walk up or downhill.

Nice Vacation Spot

The property is nestled a short distance away from a nice stretch of lake. Locals are friendly and unobtrusive, and the nearby town of Marmora is quaint and inviting. The cottage itself was equipped with all the necessary amenities and touches that make it feel like a home away from home. We’d return again and loved it.

Marmora is beautiful

Stayed here with my partner and our dog over Labour Day weekend! From prior to checking in Maria was awesome with accommodating our date changes and communicating information about the property and surrounding area. My partner and I had a magical few days enjoying the privacy of the cottage and going on adventures with the numerous attractions around. We would absolutely come back!

Cabin in the Kawarthas

My wife and I stayed at this cabin mid August 2023. Looking for a small quiet cabin to relax for a few days. Once I decided this was the place my experience from booking online to communicating with the Host to check-in to the stay and checking out was perfect. The online post description/pics provided everything and was accurate upon check-in. The Host answered all my questions quickly and professionally and gave me tips on local hiking & water activities. I was impressed with the little amenities that you would not expect like needing a pair of scissors, a roasting stick or shampoo needed unexpectedly. Everything was as advertised. The cabin was comfortable and clean. Everything was in proper working condition from the Sat TV, AC to the appliances. A most enjoyable comfortable stay. If you're looking for a small cabin in a very quiet area with lots of trees, this is a great place to stay. Thanks to the Host, she was very friendly.
