About this property

Quiet Getaway - 4 Season Lakefront Cottage for Fishing & Kayaking

Welcome to a peaceful waterfront cottage retreat, perfect for a quiet getaway in any season. Set on a spacious, private property surrounded by trees and lovely water views, this family cottage offers comfort and an easy cottage-country escape within driving distance of the GTA, Ottawa, and Kingston. The cottage is accessible by a fully paved, municipally maintained year-round road.

Inside, the bright open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area is designed for relaxed time together, whether you are cooking, playing games, or settling in after a day outdoors. With two bedrooms, a pull-out sofa in the living room, and one bathroom, the cottage comfortably sleeps 6 to 7 guests.

This is a wonderful spot for guests who love fishing, kayaking, canoeing, relaxing on the dock, and exploring the lake by boat. Anglers can look forward to lake trout, smallmouth and largemouth bass, perch, and more, with a nearby public boat launch for easy access. The shoreline in front of the cottage is natural and weedy, making it better suited to paddling, boating, and dockside enjoyment than swimming from shore. Guests who enjoy sandy beach days will find public beaches about a 30-minute drive away.

Outdoors, enjoy the large wraparound deck, BBQ, and fire pit for easy meals, morning coffee, and relaxed evenings under the stars. Nearby trails offer more ways to enjoy the area, including four-wheeling, and winter guests can take advantage of ice fishing, snowmobiling, and cozy nights at the cottage.

Pets are welcome, and we ask guests to treat our family cottage with care and respect so everyone can continue to enjoy this special place.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The property is very private and quiet. Being able to bring our dog was a plus and she loved the deck and grounds. It was nice to have wifi as cell service is spotty. AC works well but luckily we didn't have to use it more than one night. It would have been nice to have one queen bed as my husband and I did not fit easily in the double so he slept in the single. The cottage was clean on the surface but many of the window sills had not been cleaned in quite awhile and some of the dishes were dirty but that would not have been the fault of the host as it appeared the previous guests had put them away dirty. The firepit was very nice and it has a great view of the lake. The covered deck was a plus to be able to safely watch a thunder and lightning storm that blew in one night. We had to be careful walking the grounds upon arriving as Canadian geese had left many droppings on the grass and dock. We ended up cleaning it up because our dog kept eating it. The kayaks were a nice bonus to be able to use to get out on the water.

Amazing

We had a lovely experience with our stay. There were some difficulties in the beginning due to an issue with the furnace, but the host was on top of it and resolved the issue as quick as they could. I really recommend this cottage, the hosts were welcoming and so helpful.

Clean and beautiful cottage on lake with plenty of fish

We loved our stay, thank you so much to the owner. Cottage is clean and modern and very well equipped. Plenty of "the little things" were such a welcomed surprise to our family. There is plenty of fish right off the dock. We had lots of fun kayaking too.

Quick getaway

My husband and i really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was clean, quiet, well maintained and equiped with everything you could need for a very comfortable and relaxing getaway. Excellent host. Not possible to swim off the dock, unfortunately. However, there is a public beach close by.

Relaxing week

The property is just awesome.We had a great time at this cottage and our pups also enjoyed it.The only downside is the weedy lakefront.We were still able to have a couple boat rides after nervously getting through the weeds.If not for that I would give it a 100% response.All in all it was still great and the owner was always available.

Beautiful cottage stay

We have nothing but amazing things to say about this place. The cottage is the perfect vacation spot for relaxing and renergizing. I could write an essay about how spectacular our stay was, It was extremely clean and our host was super attentive and helpful. The lake was quiet and perfect for all the water toys to enjoy, kayak/canoe/and paddleboat were there and we had a lot of fun with them. Just sitting on the dock listening and watching for birds, fish, beavers, frogs and loons was very peaceful. Bbqing every night and exploring nearby trails and waterfalls was really cool, even driving was relaxing up there. It was also dog friendly which was very important for us to be able to share with ours, I don't think he ever wanted to leave! And neither did we! Thank you for sharing your amazing place with us and who knows what the future brings but we'd definitely love to return one day!

A relaxing week at a well equipped cottage

We were looking for a quiet relaxing week & we found it here! I will give detail to help future renters. The property is large & had a good fire pit, lots of open area for enjoying the sun & a dock. The water is weedy & not suitable for swimming (we knew that) but we did some fishing & there were water toys: we used the paddle boat but there was also canoe & kayak if we’d wanted. The area was very quiet so except for 1 loud afternoon at a neighbour’s the only sound we ever heard was the occasional car & birds. There are two bedrooms: 1 has a double bed only and 1 has a double & single. We chose to stay in the larger room because it had a ceiling fan & we liked the air movement at night. There were also ceiling fans in the kitchen & living areas so we didn’t need to use the AC as much. Some days were very hot & humid so we were certainly very glad to have AC. The kitchen was very well supplied. Literally the only things we couldn’t find we’re measuring spoons & a jug to make juice. Otherwise we found everything we needed. There is an excellent bbq on the porch we used a lot, a covered deck which we used when it rained & a picnic table with umbrella that we ate at when it wasn’t raining. Bathroom was well laid out. A good sized shower with a built in seat. Wifi was decent - spotty cell coverage so wifi needed Nearest grocery store in Coe Hill has decent variety but we went to Bancroft to shop. The bakery is a must stop. 100% we’d rebook here as it was perfect for us.
