About this property
Beautiful Sunsets and Peaceful lake views
Our cottage is a quaint 2 bedroom bungalow with a sandy beachfront and beautiful sunsets! The cottage sleeps 5 in total. There is a hid-a-bed couch should you want to add 2 guests. There is one full piece bath, an eat-in kitchen, living room with floor to ceiling fireplace and a screened in sun porch for lazing around and enjoying a peaceful view of the lake. The cottage’s main water source comes from the lake, even though it is filtered I do not recommend you drink it therefore, there is a water cooler provided for drinking, washing/rinsing purposes (2 empty jugs are supplied and can be exchanged in local town for new full jugs) a stove, microwave, fridge/freezer, coffee maker with filters, and a Tassimo machine (Coffee pods not supplied), a toaster, TV with DVD/VCR player and a selection of children's and Adult PG movies. Outdoor facilities include a propane BBQ (an **empty tank (**last guests who filled/exchanged tank may not have used it all) is provided, and can be exchanged in local town for a full one), an outdoor swing, 3 kayaks, a paddleboat and a paddle board, clothes line and a fire pit (wood can be purchased in the local village of Cobden). All items are “use at your own risk”. Your boat(s) must be launched at the boat launch in Cobden as there is no boat access to the lake at the cottage. This peaceful location can offer great fishing, swimming, and kayaking. The sandy beachfront is perfect for sunbathing and just relaxing.
Note: **Blue Algae is a natural occurrence in lakes in Ontario and can bloom during an extended hot period over the summer. In the past the municipality said it has been sited approximately 5 km’s down the lake on the opposite side from our cottage, at the local beach/boat launch.
**Fire Bans may also be a normal occurrence during a extended hot/dry periods during the summer months according to the Cobden Fire Department.
**Weeds are a natural occurrence in a lake and may be more liberal around the shoreline if not disturbed by swimmers and boaters alike.
***Renters will be contacted by me and/or the authorities that govern these occurrences should it become unsafe to swim or have a camp fire during your stay.
***Cancellations, discounts, and/or refunds will not be accepted based on the fact that these restrictions MAY occur over the course of the summer, before or during your stay within the normal cancellation policy.
The local town of Cobden offers artisan shopping, a farmers market, a beach and a boat launch. There is white-water rafting in the area, along with water slides, mini golf, and zip-lining at Logos Land. The Oaks of Cobden golf course and the Whitetail Golf Club are close by also. The small city of Pembroke is a great place for dining out, shopping, including a drive-in theatre, and it is just a 1/2 hour drive.

The Cottage was great. Beach and beautiful sunsets right in front of the cottage. Private beach as well. The cottage was great. We will definitely hoping to go back next year for longer.
Cottage is a little outdated but the location and the view is so beautiful. Kayaking and peddle boat rides were so peaceful. Unfortunately when we were there, a fire ban was in effect. There were 4k and bluray dvd movies to watch, however the dvd player was not compatible. Thankfully we brought some of our own entertainment.

Very quiet and peaceful cottage. As the name suggests, beautiful sunset and lake views. Screened in porch was nice to sit and take in the views on warmer/less windy days. Unfortunately there was a fire ban so we couldn't use the fire pit but the area to sit around it was nice. We really enjoyed the peddle boat. A tad disappointed there was no dock to use as pictured but not a deal breaker.
Unfortunately the bedroom doors wouldnt close at all and the bathroom door was hard to open/close.
Overall we had a great stay. The owner was easy to communicate with to turn the fireplace on and very kind.

We enjoyed our time together. It was close to home, it was quiet and serine.
It is an older dated property that could use an update. Terry

Loved this cottage. The lake is beautiful, water is nice enough for swimming and we had lots of fishing , kayaking and paddle board fun! Beautiful sunsets. Cozy cottage with lots of extra blankets which we loved. Nice and clean. Love the screened in porch for morning coffee and just to sit and listen to the water. Thank you so much.
It’s just an unpretentious thoroughly relaxing cottage with all the cottage niceties and spectacular sunsets. The hostess is approachable and true to her word in every description of the property.
Thanks for the memories.
We really enjoyed staying at this cabin. The property was clean and everything we needed was there even on cooler nights. We had to clean the side of the water a little since a lot of seeweed was there but overall it was great. We enjoyed some kayak on a super calm lake. Little town near by where we went to get evetables that we needed. All our family really enjoyed our stay and definitly will recommend this cute paradise.
A cottage well equipped to make meals, enjoy sunsets in porch without worry of mosquitos, equipment for folks who enjoy water sports. However, no TV coverage, only WIFI so evenings , if not folks who enjoy doing games, watching DVDs, evenings can be boring.
Toilet usage can be a bit troublesome if a large group as takes time for removal of wastes via toilet.
Overall, for us, it met our needs.
First impressions were a bit disappointing because the lawn hadn't been cut and the beach was untidy with plant growth. Before long that didn't matter because the kids had a blast. We did have to contend with pieces of the dock lifting during a storm, and the screened porch getting a good soaking because the windows had to remain open. Other misadventures included a fish hook in the foot of a five-year-old, and a nasty rash from a plant when we moved the peddle boat. A few recommendations: a rake so visitors could clear away some of the algae at the water's edge, and an upgrade in internet providers, perhaps a local Whitewater one. The swing and the campfire pit were big hits!

Decent place to stay but with major flaw
The cabin itself is very dated but mostly clean and a nice place to stay. The large sun room is a very nice feature to avoid bugs while still enjoying lake view, sunsets, etc. HOWEVER, the yard and “beach” (if you can call it that) are pretty terrible. The main issue is lots of poop from ducks/geese throughout yard. It really grossed us out, and if you have dogs there’s added worry of them eating it. There’s a build up of “stuff” all along the short line and in water, and I can only assume some of that is poop. It’s nature, I get it, but for us it made the yard not useable, so heads up in case this applies to you. There’s no dock despite what’s shown in listing photos and also described on the welcome documentation in the cabin. A dock to sit out on and get into water off of would help a bit with poop issue. Another problem we had which could be seasonal and likely not in owners control (unless maybe related to poop?) is many swarms of gnats.
It was a beautiful cabin, everything you could need for an enjoyable stay, the water and kayaks/ paddle boat were fantastic.We would love to stay there again.The sunsets were gorgeous from the Sun porch.
The cottage was a very quaint spot, was a quiet lake when we were there. Was perfect spot my husband was off work and I was working remotely so was able to work and him go for paddles and walks. Sunsets are something in a fairytale.
Very quaint cabin. Cozy vibe with a sizeable kitchen, making it easy to cook meals in. The lake was gorgeous, especially at sunset. Shallow water was great for some of us to go fishing in waders. Backyard was a perfect size to sit out or play games. Beds were a bit older and less comfortable than expected but not really an issue. Overall, we had a great weekend and would gladly stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay here , Everything We need was there, the host was really responsive. We are so Happy to find this place. We are definitely coming back here.
Cottage was everything we hoped for. Our own private beach, paddle boat, board and kayaks all in great condition.Beautiful lake. Nice campfire in the evening. Kitchen spacious. We had our 3 grandchildren. We all enjoyed the fishing, swimming and boating.Beautiful sunrise/sunsets.Only thing missing were outdoor lawn chairs. We had brought 2 but there were none there. Nice chairs on the screened in porch. Maybe we could have taken them out but we didn’t want to ruin them.Great stay. We would definitely return.

Beautiful sunset, comfy bed, spacious living space. This is definitely granny's cottage right down to the afghans, plastic fruit, & doilies. Some of the owners shoes, etc. are left there. Well- stocked kitchen very dated but nice new, clean appliances. Cutlery drawer almost impossible to open. No dock as pictured and "beach" was not good for swimming...shallow for farther out than you can walk and full of algae. Suggest googling lake conditions before you go! Sadly, the peddle boat was too heavy to carry down to the water. Construction of cottage next door made it noisy.

We enjoyed our stay, the location is nice, and there is a large beach area. I don’t normally like to leave reviews but I was disappointed with many things about the cottage itself. It is in need of repair. None of the interior doors would stay closed and the beds were uncomfortable and need to be replaced. The sofa bed was broken and uncomfortable (which was noted in a comment a few years ago and not dealt with). By the end of our stay a cupboard door was hanging on one hinge. Also make sure to bring extra paper towels and toilet tissue as we ran out after our first day. Of note, there is only one empty water jug there, not two as was advertised. It would have been nice to have a full jug of water when we arrived so that we didn’t have to go back to town as soon as we arrived to get water.
Perfect Canadiana Cottage GetawayWe had such an incredible stay at this cottage! The private beach was the perfect spot for swimming, relaxing, and soaking in the beautiful lake views. Having kayaks and a paddle board available made it easy to get out on the water and explore, which quickly became a favorite part of our days.Nature put on a show each morning and evening. A pair of loons visited faithfully at dawn and dusk, their calls echoing across the lake. Belted kingfishers darted from the treeline, diving spectacularly into the water. And perhaps the most memorable sight was the elusive giant fish that leapt dramatically from the lake, creating huge splashes and taunting both avid fishermen and curious novices alike.When we weren’t outside, we loved gathering in the screened-in porch, the perfect spot for coffee at sunrise or winding down at night while listening to the sounds of the water. The cottage itself is everything you would hope for in a classic Canadian getaway. It is decorated with the warmth and charm of a generational family cottage, yet fully equipped with everything you could need to relax and enjoy.This truly felt like the perfect Canadiana experience. Cozy, adventurous, and full of unforgettable moments. We cannot wait to return!

Could have been a great stay!
I did love the location and neighborhood.
I asked if i could dock my boat on site, water was to low and the dock was almost dry.
The water pump at one point stop working.
The bathroom at one point had water on the floor coming from the toilet.
It took 2 days before the owner came to fix it as no plumber were available!
The sofa bed is not usable as a bed!
Bring your owned coffee machine as the Tassimo would not worked for us, so went to Pembrooke to get a coffee machine.
So the place is wonderful but needs a lot, lot, lot of love.
I paid to much for what i had but would go back if everything was updated.
L'hôte nous a apporté une air climatisé puisqu'il y avait une canicule ce fut très apprécié. Par contre, la plage n'étais pas aussi belle que l'on pensait et le chalet est très correct et propre mais ne propose rien de moderne. C'est un espace tranquille où se reposer.
