This comfortable cottage reflects lotsa lake experience charm from its characteristic decor to the abundance of amenities with three spacious bedrooms, washrooms, outdoor sitting areas, well equipped kitchen, closeness to the beach and shopping downtown. Additional living space available in the adjacent bunkie offers peaceful quiet time from excited grandchildren! The hosts are thoughtful and generous as evidenced by a welcoming note and two “Lakeside” souvenir t-shirts. We loved staying at this beautiful well maintained cottage.

Amazing location!

Location was amazing and the cottage well equipped. It was unclear from the listing that the main house has 3 bedrooms and the bunk beds are actually in a separate bunkie out back. Still made it work with our 4 kids and had an excellent time!

Great stay for a group

I stayed at Greg’s property with a group celebrating a 2 year wedding anniversary. We had enough space to spend time indoors when the weather wasn’t ideal without being on top of each other. The backyard was great for barbecuing and playing games. The view of the boats was so lovely in the morning and the beach was only a short walk away! We had the best time and would love stay again!

We had a wonderful stay. It was a very short walk to the main beach -- even with young children. The cottage comes equipped with everything you could possibly need and worked great for the two weeks we were there....even on a couple of rainy days. Highly recommend.

Family Fun Time in the PORT

Our family had an AaaMazzzing time at the Lakehouse Cottage!! The accommodations suited our large group of all ages beautifully – it was also wonderful to have 2 1/2 bathrooms! The common living space was bright, open and generous. The location was throughly enjoyed by all in offering lake views, epic sunsets, quick walkway access to the marina and beach area or to the park and splash pad! We can’t wait to go back!!
