About this property

New Listing "Aries" 2 Bedroom Cottage by the beach

We are "the Kabins by the falls". This is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle. With all needed amenities and a public beach area on beautiful Cameron Lake just steps away from your door.
"Aries" is a 2 bedroom 1 washroom "Kabin" that has been completely refreshed to be modernized from it's original state but we have kept the rustic charm. The rustic charm comes from things like the original wooden doors and windows. Our décor shouts "Kabin" with the pine ceilings and brick fire place (not usable).
We are just off the ATV trails and amidst great restaurants, hiking trails, shopping, lakes, parks, and beaches.
Oriole Rd is a tight knit community of seasonal cottagers with an excellent patio restaurant across the street from our property and a marina directly next to the Kabins.
You can access the water via a public park just across the cottage road. This makes for the perfect setting for convenience to enjoy water sport and great food.

Fenelon Falls is a beautiful little town. It is home to lock 34 on the Trent-Severn Waterway between Sturgeon Lake and Cameron Lake.

There are many great restaurants, pubs, shops, a grocery store, Friday farmer’s market and a beautiful waterfront park. All this is within walking distance of The Kabins by the falls.

Fenelon falls
Cottage small but clean...lots of other cottages nearby so not private..lake access across the street and shared ..when we were there it was quiet and we could enjoy the lake. Paddle boards were fun. Lake was lovely.We went to the Grove theatre which was very close to the cottage.I would recommend this Overall we enjoyed our time

A Gem to Stay At
Aries Cottage was a wonderful place to stay. When you first enter you notice how the place is impeccably clean. With tools for cooking, a couple complimentary toiletries (I was not expecting), nicely made up beds, and a handbook for everything you need answers too that has information and a couple rules all laid out in an non-overbearing way. The public beach is extremely close, I know the add reads as it being kitty corner, and not quite able to see the water from the cottage. Honestly no one in my family minded. A member of my family has mobility problems and was able to ride a mobility scooter right to just before the water and back. It’s grassy all the way to sand just before the water where my little one was able to play and build sandcastles. There is a picnic table down at the water to keep any drinks or towels off the ground while in the water. The water itself is very warm most of the time. With a sandy bottom that goes out quite far. The water equipment was easy to bring to the water and a great to play with. The town of Fenelon Falls has a Friday morning market with a variety of farm to table or home made items. For my family with Celiac Disease (can’t have gluten) there are many options in the little town for us to eat out while not getting sick on vacation. You can view the falls and enjoy seeing boats go through the locks. Overall this cottage is wonderful and I would recommend it to others looking for a gem of a place to stay.

Not a waterfront property
We were disappointed that we felt the picture of the small front and lawn area was part of the property it is not. We would not have rented if the listing was clear that this is not a waterfront property not to mention very small and not private backyard. That picture is a small but of I guess crown land nearby sandwiched between a couple docks. No AC but the cottage did cool off at night. It was a bit warm when the kids were going to bed but comfortable by the time we went to bed I would plan for food that does not require the oven. On the plus side the property was clean and we did not run into any issues and the knives were nice and sharp. They have a couple inflatable paddle boards that are in good condition.

Nicely updated cottage
The property does not have a lake view and is kitty corner and a very short walk to a small public beach area that cottagers who are not directly on the waterfront use. Most times during my stay there were not a lot of other people that used it and it’s a nice shallow sandy area for swimming. The cottage is well equipped with thoughtful and useful cooking utensils. There is however no privacy from the cottage next door. We enjoyed using the paddle board. All appliances are new and the BBQ was in great working condition. It is a very short drive to the town proper and Kawartha Lakes ice cream yum! I would recommend.

Monitored
Although the cottage appearance, cleanliness and location were great we did not appreciate the intrusions and feeling of being watched the entire time we stayed. Day one we received an email within 10 minutes of my husbands visit reminding us that we could only have four guest. (For the record he was not staying but as he was working we stayed close so he couod enjoy dinner with us). We observed cars slowly driving by the cottage watching us and then to make matters worse while my children played in the yard a man areived to cut the grass. There was no warning or heads up that this would be happening. I wouldn't have cared except, we never felt at ease with our stay. Despite the fact we were not doing anything wrong but trying to enjoy our stay we couldnt relax feeling under a watchful eye. I also got a message telling me two cars were in the driveway which required me to move one car late into the nigh. I understand that i had misread this in the contract but agin i felt supervised and on watch. Sincerely,
