"Great place to stay for a large group, big living room and well stocked kitchen. Clean and exactly as expected. The detailed info sheet beforehand was useful, even to know what type of coffee makers!"

About this cottage rental

Welcome to The Gatehouse, our family cottage since 1970 - that grew! It is a large 4 bedroom vintage/rustic cottage that offers three bedrooms on the upper floor, and the largest bedroom on the main floor. The living room and dining room features a cozy gas fireplace with 20 ft ceilings. Three wineries are within easy walking distance. Relax on the large deck facing a huge yard with a view of the lake in the distance. The public beach and harbour are a 10-15 minute walk and it is a short stroll to a country diner located in quaint Colchester Village, in Ontario Canada. There are designated bike paths on road side for those seeking exercise. We are a year-round cottage and invite you to stay in all seasons.

    Absolutely a perfect location - walkable for visiting the wineries. The place has everything you need for a great wine focused trip with friends. We all enjoyed it.

    This was a cozy place for me and my friends to stay! We loved the cleanliness and openness of both the inside and outside of the cottage. The owner, Mary, gave great to directions to the place. Unfortunately we couldn't get the fire going. It would have been helpful to have an axe to cut some of the firewood into kindling and some paper to help start the fire. We truly enjoyed our stay though and if the opportunity comes up again, we will be back!! Thank you.

    The cottage is exactly as pictured, many updates and some old cottage charm. It has all of the amenities you need - just bring soap and shampoo/conditioner.We had such a wonderful time on the treed property (lots of shade) and deck. The beach is a short walk or a fast drive. The hosts were fantastic and always responded quickly, but we barely needed to reach out as everything was handled so professionally and well. We would definitely stay again!

    Everything here was great - the description of the property was bang on. The host Mary answered all my (many) questions and addressed my concerns. Plenty of linens, towels, dishes, etc., so we felt right at home. We brought some things of our own but they were not needed. We used the BBQ while we were there which was nice and we enjoyed a campfire on two nights. The grocery store isn't too far away which was great. We'd absolutely rent this place again.

    We had a great long weekend stay at the Wine country cottage! It fit our group, 6 adults, 4 kids (ages 3,5,6,7) perfectly and was better than the pics. I think the add listing said that it's a 1.5 bath, which worried us, but there's actually 2 full and 1 half which we were happy to discover! The yard was perfect for the kids to run around and we were walking distance to restaurants and 2 wineries. Side note: Stay away from CREW, rude staff. North 42 Degrees had a great outdoor area for the kids to run around and occupy themselves, staff was incredible and wine was tasty. Mary was a super responsive host. Our group is already talking about booking again!
