About this property

Beautiful lakefront cottage steps from the clear waters of spring fed Black Lake

Enjoy the spectacular sunrises from this newly renovated lakefront cottage only steps to the fresh waters of Black Lake. A fabulous way to start your vacation days.
When you’re ready you can enjoy the lake by kayak or canoe taking in the vibrant wildlife-such as loons, turtles and beautiful birds and ducks. The water is clear and clean, great for swimming or an afternoon float with friends and family.
You can enjoy the mid day shade near the cedar trees, play yard games or enjoy the local golf course, just minutes up the road.
If being outside isn’t your jam, we have high speed Starlink internet and a 55” Smart TV.
This private lake (which means low boat traffic) is located between quaint Westport and historic Perth. Lots to discover on a day trip.
A week may not be enough for all your adventures!
We know you love your furry friends… unfortunately for a rental unit it makes it hard to rent due to allergies and sensitivities, no matter how hard we clean. Please make arrangements for them at a trusted pet hotel.
Everyone loves their linens and towels the best so please bring your own to enjoy.
The views from the windows are amazing all year round.
We look forward to hosting you for your 4 seasons get aways.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We’re a group of 4 women meeting between Toronto and Ottawa for a girls’ August getaway. This cottage is exactly as shown. Beds comfortable, and lots of space in the kitchen/living area for us, although we spent the bulk of our time outdoors on the rock area or dock. Cottage is renovated and super clean. Bonus, there’s A/C but we never needed it as there are lots of windows to open to provide a great lake breeze. The host, Jennifer, was awesome and friendly to deal with. She’d check in with us and promptly responded to any queries we had about the place. The lake water is a lovely temperature and not super busy with boats, so you can swim a good distance safely. I would suggest bringing water shoes as there’s quite a few weeds/rocks you encounter when getting in/out as there is no latter on the dock. If you’re more than 4 people, I would also suggest bringing extra lawn chairs. We loved our stay and would definitely rent again! Thanks, Jennifer!!
Beautiful views!

It was lovely to host you all. We hope to see you again soon. Thanks for the review 😊 and ideas- we have a dock ladder on it now and will make sure to have extra chairs to help guests save on what they have to bring! Be well & happy travels Jenn

Why they chose this property

We loved being near amenities without being in a town. We are 15 minutes from historical Perth and Westport small town charms. All the while nestled in a private lake side 🌳 forest.

What makes this property unique

This newly renovated, clean and cozy space with sunrise views over the lake are perfect for a long weekend away or a longer settle in vibe to explore with a great home base
