About this cottage rental

Only 2 hours from Toronto, enjoy the quieter things in life at this 4 season cottage set on 5 acres of forested land with plenty of woods and waterfront to explore. Enjoy a canoe ride, go for a swim, take in the fall colours or sit in silence with the snow falling around you. End each day by watching the sun set and listen to the nearby wildlife come alive. Relax and take in what nature has to offer all year round on this quiet lake with plenty of privacy.

The cottage is one of three built on Long Lake surrounded by forest and is only 15 minutes from town. Quiet activities are preferred in this area and there are no motorboats or other loud water sports on the lake, nor is there noise from the neighbours. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing and secluded getaway, this place is for you.

There are 3 spacious bedrooms with an open concept kitchen, living and dining space ideal for 1 or 2 families. Each bedroom has a queen bed and 2 of the rooms have a single sofa bed that can accommodate 1 person (ideal for a child). The space is well set up for families who enjoy a quiet getaway. There is an electric vehicle charger for your convenience (level 2). Tesla adapter required.

This is a 4 season cottage that can be enjoyed all year-round with electric baseboard and wood stove heating.

The town of Havelock is a 15 minute drive away and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The town has a pharmacy, Foodland for groceries, Tim Hortons, Hardware Store, LCBO, etc.

For those who like to go hiking, you can explore the cottage surroundings or the Petroglyphs Provincial Park (18 mins drive) or Warsaw Caves Conservation Area (25 mins drive).

Cyclists will love the quiet roads with few cars and lots of twists and turns. This is a great way to explore the area. (Roads are paved beyond the private entrance gate)

This place is so peaceful and is great to recharge at. Our family swam, used the paddle board, had great bbq meals and slept so comfortably in the air conditioned rooms. The little touches are amazing such as providing fishing rods, bug spray and games. The host is very responsive with any questions we had prior to our stay. We loved hearing the loons in the morning and the hummingbirds, we would definitely come back again next year.

Overall, this listing was exactly what was expected. It is a more rustic cottage that has some good upgrades. It’s a work in progress but offers a comfortable space and very comfortable beds in a quiet location. The air-conditioning units were appreciated, especially during very hot weather, but we’re a little noisy. Luckily, we were able to turn them off when going to bed as there is a nice breeze at night. The deck off the main room was exceptional. It sits high off the ground and hence gets a nice breeze, and importantly, the substantial number of deer flies (to be expected) do not bother anyone. It has a beautiful view of the sunset. It is sufficiently shaded throughout the day that you can sit out there almost all day long. And the variety of birds and their songs were absolutely charming! The only negative for us was that there was a bit of a steep hill down to the beach. Well, not normally problematic, with a more elderly person in our party, as well as someone with a knee injury, it made it a bit difficult to get there. The host was very responsive to questions asked. On average, she answered our questions within a few minutes. Her responsiveness was very much appreciated

We had a great stay at the property. It is in a great, secluded location. We hiked in the area and it was a short trip into town if we needed anything. The cottage was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. A great place for family or friends to stay. We look forward to visiting again in the summer!

We just got back from our week at the cottage. It was perfect for our family of 5. We all needed the down time and the time together just us and this cottage provided that. The quiet and the views were spectacular. We had the whole lake to ourselves! Sunsets are breathtaking. The cottage was clean and has everything you would need and the hosts are very responsive. We always rent cottages but this is the first time I said I would want to come back to this one.

I had three main criteria when looking for a vacation rental: 1. pet friendly; 2. on a lake; and 3. private with few or no neighboring properties. This cottage provided all three. We enjoyed our time down on the dock and on the water, as well as sitting on the deck listening to the Loons and watching the beautiful sunsets. We left the cottage only a few days to make a quick trip into Havelock to pick up some items we forgot or ran out of. Every person we met in town was friendly and welcoming. I wish we had been able to extend our stay so we could explore the surrounding area we originally planned. Chandra was a pleasure to work with and was quick to respond to my questions.

We had an incredible stay at this property. Beautiful spot with the privacy we wanted but also close enough to town to make quick stops in. Chandra was very helpful for check in and throughout our stay. The cottage faces west, so beautiful sunsets every night and great swimming all day. We will definitely be staying again!

We had a lovely stay at this well appointed cottage at a beautiful, quiet and nature filled location. Cottage was a perfect space for my family which included 2 couples a single person and the family dog. No complaints whatsoever!! We swam, kayaked and watched the family of Loons everyday. We all had a great time. We will be returning next year for sure!!

This is a truly lovely place for anyone who appreciates quiet and nature. The lake is lovely and the little 'beach' was perfect for my 6-year-old granddaughter. The house has everything you need and is very comfortable. Strongly recommended.

My partner and I were looking for a quiet nature retreat where we could forget about city life and work, and this place fit the bill nicely. We were a bit reluctant at first due to the distance, but luckily I enjoy driving and the 7 and it’s little towns is always a pleasant route. The cottage was great. A cute mix of modern furnishings with some mid-century flair thrown in to give it that country feel. We spent a lot of time on the main deck, enjoying the views of the lake, the many loons, and the variety of birds visiting the bird feeder. We brought our kayaks and had a few paddles around the lake, which is small but very quiet. We didn’t see a soul our entire week’s stay! We were lacking nothing when it came to amenities! Modern kitchen with everything we needed, big screen TV with internet, nice big couch to chill on, even some smores and wine! The odd hiccup we had during our stay we resolved without issue, and the host was quick to respond promptly to all questions. Nature was mostly kind to us, as the forecast was originally calling for rain most of the week, but it changed and we only had rain for 1.5 days. The one downside were the bugs, but welcome to rural Canada in July. LOL. The provided A/C units in the bedrooms were a nice relief against the few nights of heat, but were mostly not needed with the plentiful windows to open for cross-breeze. With Havelock being only minutes away, it was a convenient spot to pop in for any missing items, or just to get in your Pokemon Go fix. 😉 FYI, Woody’s buger’s are amazing! And they have glutten free buns for those in need. All-in-all we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this wonderful little gem to anyone.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottage. Close to Havelock for any forgotten items, lots of options for enjoying the quiet - multiple decks, dock, fire pit, hammock or floating on the lake. Only a few cottages so always good for a tranquil paddle. Highly recommended.

The cottage is well kept and well equipped with all the necessary amenities. It's very private, has a great Lakeview and we would rate it as five-star accommodation. The host is friendly and replies to any questions in a timely and helpful manner.
