Designed for moments like BBQs by the water, firepit chats, and slow mornings with lake views. Inside, enjoy a full kitchen, smart TV, fast Wi-Fi, and thoughtful touches throughout. The space Wake up to magic on the lake. ☀️ As golden sunlight spills across the water, the scent of fresh coffee fills the air. Step onto the deck—your bare feet warm against the wood, the morning breeze cool on your skin. Mist curls off the glassy surface of the lake. It's quiet, except for the soft call of loons and the gentle lap of waves. The kayaks are ready. Glide into stillness, your paddle cutting clean through mirrored reflections.
By day, the cottage comes alive with energy: 🔥 Fire up the BBQ and hear the sizzle of steaks on the grill 🍹 Crack open a cold drink—feel the condensation in your palm 🎶 Let music float through the trees as you laugh with your people, sunlight flickering through the leaves
As the sun dips low, the mood shifts to something dreamlike: ✨ Toast marshmallows by the firepit as the smoky scent wraps around you 💦 Sink into the hot tub—hot bubbles against cool night air, stars spilling across the sky 🛏 Slide under soft sheets, the hush of the forest lulling you to sleep, the air crisp and clean through open windows
What’s included: ✔ Lakefront access steps from your door ✔ Kayaks, hammock, firepit, BBQ & private hot tub ✔ Cozy interior for 6 with plush touches and thoughtful design ✔ Smart TV, fast Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked kitchen ✔ Peace, privacy, and panoramic views ✔ Just 40 minutes from Kingston—but a world away from ordinary

Lovely location and nice cottage. Great view! Water pressure was very low in kitchen and bathtub. Not hot water in kitchen or bathroom. Hot tub was smaller than originally pictured, 3 people was a squeeze. But it did work and was hot. Communication with host was good.
