Nature Lover's Waterfront Retreat Near Kingston

Escape to our beautifully renovated year-round cottage nestled on a private, 2-acre lot brimming with wildlife—spot deer, herons, beavers, and turtles right from the dock. Flooded with natural light from windows and skylights, our cozy retreat offers both warmth from a wood stove in winter and refreshing air-conditioning and fans for summer comfort.

The cottage features three comfortable bedrooms: two with queen beds and one with a single bed. The single bed can pull out to a king, but will block the exterior door. Additionally, there is a single daybed on the screened-in porch for relaxing afternoons or extra sleeping space.

Whip up meals in our fully equipped kitchen featuring a gas stove and dishwasher for easy cleanup. Relax indoors on the oversized couch or around the large dining table or open the double doors onto the charming screened-in porch.

The expansive outdoor deck hosts an expandable teak dining table for 8 and a barbecue grill ready for evening cookouts. Gather around the fire pit in Adirondack chairs overlooking the water, enjoying the evening chorus of frogs, the calls of whippoorwills and the fireflies. Enjoy cozy evenings indoors with our collection of board games or have fun outdoors with bocce ball or corn hole.

Walk down a short set of stairs to our waterfront cedar dock—ideal for birdwatching or sipping morning coffee while watching wildlife. There is room to accommodate your own boat, and the boat launch is just a short 5-minute drive away. Bring your boat (our bay is shallow and best suited to an outboard motor) or use our canoe and vintage kayaks (lifejackets included). The immediate bay is shallow and great for fishing, canoeing and kayaking, but not swimming. The top of the bay opens onto Loughborough Lake, a large, clean lake spanning over 24 kilometers and dotted with islands—perfect for fishing and swimming off a boat, crown islands, or at Davidson’s beach accessible by boat or car.

Exposed rock and granite formations of the Canadian Shield are scattered throughout the property, adding to the natural beauty and character of the landscape.

Additional guests? Ask us about access to our cozy, 160 sq ft bunkie with a loft that comfortably sleeps 4.

Explore local treasures easily: enjoy live music at Creekside Bar and Grill or dine at the Loughborough Inn—both accessible by road or boat. The cottage is conveniently located just 25 minutes from vibrant downtown Kingston, 35 minutes to scenic Westport, and a quick 20-minute drive to Frontenac Park. Hiking enthusiasts will appreciate trails at Elbow Lake Nature Reserve (only 5 minutes away). Indulge in gourmet delights at The Cookery in Inverary, fabulous burgers and sandwiches at the Informal Feed Co. food truck, or unforgettable butter tarts at Mrs. Garrett's Bakery, each just a short drive away.

Come, unwind, and reconnect with nature in comfort and style!
