Panoramic sunset, 6decks, 2docks & Gazebo. Book NOW!

Named HEMLOCK POINT due to the property shape and treed property, this "cottage chic", open concept cottage faces North-West for stunning panoramic sunset views, 6 Decks +2 large Docks and a screened-in gazebo to protect you from the bugs! It comfortably sleeps 6 (max) in 3 bedrooms, 2 Double beds, 1-set of twin bunk beds(2). (sorry, no camping/tenting permitted)

Large patio doors open to the lake-front deck which is great for BBQing, entertaining and gently sloping elevated views to the dock and lake. The french door side entrance opens directly onto the Gazebo deck where you can comfortably lounge in the outdoor living room on the couch and chairs - free from bugs!

The cottage is positioned on a well-treed, private and secluded lot which has over 400' waterfront with its own private point. Multiple decks at various levels show off all possible views of the property along with a campfire pit overlooking the lake. At night, the paths are softly lit with lights to guide you from the cottage to the dock, for star gazing and perfect views of the Big Dipper!

The clear waterfront is great for swimming and the walk-out shore is ready for those who don't want to jump off the dock! The 4 red adirondack chairs and umbrella, are the perfect place to relax on the large dock to enjoy the best 180 degree views of West Bay, swim, water sports, and suntanning. Fishing is excellent right off the dock! Minnows seem to be the bait of choice on the lake but the rock bass especially like rubber worms :)

The sides and back of the property are well treed providing privacy from the road and adjacent neighbours, which emphasize the front lake views and wildlife: jumping fish, osprey and eagles flying around, the occasional beaver and river otters, and loon couples calling to each other from different parts of the lake.

The back deck has a built-in bench and seating which is perfect for morning coffee. Baby moose and deer families are commonly seen on early mornings. Most recently wild turkeys, foxes and groundhogs have wandered through...

The Kitchen becomes part of the open-concept living and dining room with stools at the breakfast bar. Full size stainless steel appliances: fridge, microwave and stove/oven make the all-white cottage kitchen clean and efficient. UV filtered cold water, was recently added.

The living room has a wood-burning fireplace perfect for those cool spring and fall evenings, and the bookcase stores all the cards and board games you'll need! The cottage is lit by a custom driftwood chandelier overhanging the entire space and casting incredible shadows throughout.

The newly renovated 3-piece bathroom with full glass shower, is tucked away off the side of the kitchen. A new septic tank has recently been installed as well.

There is also a WATERFALL at the back of the property which is a MUST to check out! This is where Little Chandos Lake trickles into Chandos Lake through the forest and rocky path. Minks, Weasels and Beavers have all been seen with their babies in this area.

There is 1 canoe, 2 kayaks, 2 SUPs + a small fishing boat (no motor) included in the rental. Local Marina's rent motorized boats (note this in your inquiry if interested). Cornhole game, Badminton/Volleyball net, Bocciball, and other land sporting equipment available on site.

We’ve FINALLY got wifi!! After 2 long years on a wait list we are pleased to offer STARLINK wifi for our guests. A recently added SMART TV will tide you over on those rainy days!

Chandos Lake is north east of Peterborough, between Lakefield and Bancroft approximately 2:30 - 3hr North-East of Toronto, just a 5 minute drive outside of Apsley. The lake is clear, sandy, and land-locked. Apsley has all the basics you would need for a cottage getaway with a newly built grocery store, Guardian pharmacy, Shell gas station, convenience store, library, Hardware store, and LCBO. Oh, and an amazing ice cream counter :) serving Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream!
