We had a fantastic stay, the property was just as advertised. Diane was a lovely host providing all ‘need to know information’ and answered all inquiries promptly. Although we only had a few inquires because she was so thorough in all communications. The cottage was so unique, on its own little island, with views of the water from every room. Property was clean, well maintained, has a fully stocked kitchen and just felt so ‘warm’ and homey. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Priest, BROKER

Host profile image
I spent my life cottaging in The Kawarthas. I’m drawn to the area because of its beauty and history. My passion is real estate and travel. Being a host is the perfect combination of both.

Why they chose this property

Once you arrive to the lake- you immediately relax and unwind. Surrounded by water, incredible sun and moon rises, wildlife - loons, ducks, swans, chipmunks, hummingbirds. Sharing these experiences, planning meals and bbqs with friends and family creates lifelong memories.

What makes this property unique

The property is surrounded by water. On the bayside - rustic, natural where you’ll see turtles and baby ducks nesting amongst the lily pads.
On the open waterfront side - it’s open views, boats passing by, a designated swimming area, firepit to watch the stars and roast marshmallows by the fire
