What a fantastic location! The lake view and sunsets were wonderful, and we were visited by the swans every single day. Lots of room to play outside and nice BBQ! Lots of good activities in the area as well. We will be back!

Excellent waterfront property, great location but poor dock and ramp for our fishing boat. The dock needs cleats and the ramp has too deep a dropoff in the water.

Hi Karen I am so sorry you were upset about the beds. As you were a couple that rented the cottage it appears you must have preferred sleeping in separate rooms. Unfortunately the bunk bed is meant for children and not adults. We have, however, heard our renters who appear to want to rent our location with separate rooms for a couple or to have more than one adult couple stay and be then the bunk bed is utilized for adults. To that end we will be replacing the bunk bed this winter with a new queen bed. With respect to the bed in the main room, it is fairly firm as it is pure rubber (ordered from England) for high humidity with a sheepskin on top for removal for easy dry cleaning. We had thought that this very hygienic alternative would be appreciated by guests as it is rare to find and very clean. This year we added a memory foam topper to try and help with comfort. We will re-review this mattress. Sorry about your stay we always strive to be better. Happy travels in the future.

Very nice stay

Everything you need as a basic was at the cabin, beds were decent, size of the cabin was perfect, deck was gorgeous and the best part was the sunset view right on the lake. The only downside were the bugs, but hey your in a lakeside cabin so its to be expected

Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy you enjoyed your stay. I have a suggestion, if you stay at a place and have an accident please let the host know so that they can deal with it properly. Do not try to hide it. Also let them know about breakages. Accidents happen as do things breaking but being told about it makes the five hour turnaround between guests doable but if not told it raises issues for the next guest which is not fair.

Great cottage and wonderful location for PEC visit!

Allane was wonderful at communicating and was very accommodating, which we greatly appreciated!! We loved the location, beautiful waterfront and close to all PEC activities. Great space for family of 4, and kids loved the cottage. Highly recommend Kat's Cradle Cottage!

We loved our stay at Kat's Cradle!! The location on the lake was beautiful, and the cottage itself was so cute and cozy, even better than the photos! Everything was super clean, and the cottage had everything we could need. The host even left us water and a local treat in the fridge which was so thoughful and apprecaited. Communication with the host was fast and efficient. Would definitely reccomend!!

Peaceful getaway

The cottage was welcoming and comfortable . Lovely large grounds around the cottage and it was delightfully private. A pair of swans would stop nightly to forage right in front of the dock . If you’re looking for a totally relaxing place to unwind , you won’t be disappointed . Waterfront entry quite rocky so water shoes recommended .
Great spacious deck

Exactly as advertised

If you are looking to sit back and relax this is a perfect place. You get everything you need besides food and linens. The hosts provided all the details and responded promptly with answers to our questions. The view over the bay is outstanding and the campfires at night an added bonus.

Restful getaway

A beautiful location on the lake. Being able to sit on the deck to eat dinner and watch the sunset was a special finish to each day. There is plenty to do in the county, people are friendly and easy to navigate. Our hosts were quick to answer questions. Swimming is not recommended there, but there are other options for swimming not far away. Overall a lovely week.

Great cottage!

We had a wonderful time at the cottage! It is cozy for a young family with baby/toddler. Great patio and lot of space outside to run for our toddler. The cottage was also very clean. The host contacted us a few days before our stay to make sure that we had all the necessary information to plan our stay, which we found reassuring and friendly. Amazing view for sunset and great location for PEC activities! Will definitely recommend to our friends and family.

Thank you for the lovely review. We really enjoy renting to young families as it reminds us of when our children were young and loved being at the cottage and running around enjoying the outdoors and nature. Thanks for leaving the cottage in great shape! Allane

Great cottage to be in nature by the water

We did enjoyed our stay. Having coffee watching the swans swimming in front of the cottage, listening to the birds and seeing the squirrels fooling around was just magical! It was peaceful. The cottage was clean. Living room had a huge comfy couch. You need to bring water to drink but Allane left some for us when we arrived. The only downside for us was the mattresses. Not comfortable and a piece of wood was going across. We had a wonderful stay.

Thank so much for your review. You are right the one bed is a bunk bed and is good for kids but not really adults. It’s our intent to remove it next spring and put in a proper queen bed. This will drop our cottage from five to for people but as we are seeing more couples rent rather than families - it’s the time to do it! I am so happy you enjoyed your stay. Allane

Cottage was small and rustic a perfect size for the two of us with an amazing view of the water. Host was friendly, responsive and very welcoming. Unfortunately, the weather let us down as it was quite cold, wet and windy ( expected at this time of the year I suppose).The best part was watching the wildlife. Plenty of Loons and Canada Geese, who would park themselves on the water right outside the property and stay a while. It was quite the treat watching a family of River Otters playing and eating before scurrying back to their den. The Swans who can forget the swans, beautiful!There’s a short drive into Picton to bakeries, cafes, shops and restaurants.All in all we enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again earlier than the end of October.
