About this cottage rental
Welcome to By-the-Bay Cottages!
We are located in the beautiful, historic, pastoral, serene setting of Black River, South Marysburgh, Prince Edward County, approximately 14 km SE of Picton.
Drive down Morrison Point Road past historic farms, grazing sheep, horses and goats, 200 year old stone walls, the amazing Vicki's Veggies, honey and farm fresh egg stands to reach 78 Wilolea Lane.
Our cottages face directly on to Smith's Bay, just in off Lake Ontario.
You will experience beautiful sunrises, glistening blue waters, be entertained daily by swans, ducks and an array of birds and wildlife, and relax nightly under dark, starry skies by your own private campfire.

We had an amazing time exploring all that prince edward county has to offer, and our accommodations at By the Bay Cottages were an excellent base of operations. The cottage was clean and well stocked with all the essentials to make our stay enjoyable. The weather was great and we enjoyed watching the sun rise with a coffee on the deck. Every day we were greeted by “John Swan, the Swan John” as our kids nicknamed him. (He is a swan who loved grazing in the bay)Judy was a great host who answered any questions we had and ensured we had some great ideas of places to visit in the county. The cottages are a great escape to nature with some of the nice to have conveniences.

The cottage was very nice. Everything was clean (a bit buggy in the cottage), but still comfortable. They do have bug catchers, and it is surrounded by nature so the bugs are to be expected.It wasn’t as private as I thought it would be, there were two cottages right next to us and we shared a dock. So it was a bit trafficky that way. If you are looking for a more isolated experience this cottage is not for you.DT and wineries were pretty close 20-40min, so that was nice.

We had a fantastic long weekend getaway at this charming cottage by the lake in Prince Edward County. The cottage was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Its lakeside location provided a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, perfect for unwinding, yet it was conveniently just a few minutes' drive from downtown Picton, where we could easily find restaurants and shops, and also a short drive from wineries. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, and made my birthday weekend extra special.
