This sweet, immaculately clean cottage is ideally located on a quiet part of Lake Wilson (Wauquimakog). The large, screened-in porch was one of our favourite places to sit, read, and look and listen to the lake, while the dock was perfect for late-night star gazing.
If you're planning on cooking, the kitchen has all of the appliances and equipment needed to prepare meals and bake. Just make sure to bring all of your groceries as there aren't many places in the area to buy groceries.
The bedrooms and living room were comfortable. It was a bit warm, even with the ceiling fans and portable AC unit running. However, there is a constant, cool breeze from the lake, so sleeping with the screened windows open made it just cool enough for comfort.
The wifi works but requires patience and is sometimes spotty.
We especially enjoyed the propane BBQ and picnic table!
Of note, there are 12 uneven stone steps to walk down from the driveway onto the well-manicured lawn, followed by a short walk (approx. 20 meters) and another 6 steps up to get into the cottage.
Though Port Loring is a small village, there are a few restaurants and thrift stores in walking distance from the cottage, as well as many lakes, trails, parks, and other attractions to explore within a 1-hour drive. For people looking for a private and peaceful place to relax, swim, hike, boat and/or fish, this really is an excellent choice!
