About this cottage rental
Situated on 100 feet of private waterfront, this one-of-a-kind authentic stone cottage will melt your heart. This sweet cottage is bursting with vintage charm, yet very clean, updated and comfortably furnished.
Nearby, explore the quaint rural villages of Westport and Newboro where you’ll find unique shops, art galleries, restaurants & pubs, and even a winery with terrific outdoor dining.
ABOUT THE COTTAGE:
The combination of indoor and outdoor spaces provides plenty of room for togetherness while still allowing everyone in your group a place to retreat for some quiet time:
GREAT ROOM: Open floor plan Kitchen, Dining area and Living room with gorgeous stone hearth and propane fireplace.
BEDS & BATH: 3 private bedrooms comfortably sleeps6 (Queen, Queen, 2 Twin). 4-piece washroom has been recently updated.
PATIO: Enjoy panoramic lake views and al fresco dining on a huge flagstone patio with built-in campfire pit
SCREEN PORCH: The 10’ x 20’ screened-in porch is comfortably furnished as outdoor living space. Curl up with a book, play board games, do puzzles or craft projects, or just sip your favorite beverage and listen to the loons.
WATERFRONT: Fixed deck with sitting area plus a large deep-water floating dock offers great swimming, fishing and room for boats. *Note that the cottage sits off the water (accessible by a set of steps). This offers fantastic panoramic views but may not be ideal for those with limited mobility.

This is an exceptional cottage with lovely views of the lake. It's just a few minutes drive to Westport which has interesting shops and a good grocery store. The owner was so cooperative and easy to deal with that I have booked a time in June and can't wait to get back to this wonderful cottage. The only caution is that there are stairs to get to the lake which should be considered for someone with mobility issues.

The listing was exactly as advertised. We loved our stay. The property was clean, private, comfortable and very well appointed. Highly recommend it!!

The stone cottage had a nice view of the lake, a fire pit, big tables for games and meals with family. Very relaxing and quiet. The loons on the lake were close by--loved their calls to each other! It was clean and had a well stocked kitchen. If you have little children, the outdoor patio has a drop off that you would need to use caution with. We would definitly recommend this place.

Our family had a great week at Erika's property, experiencing a clean and welcoming cottage with beautiful views, plus friendly local neighbors! Visiting as a family of 6, with 2 little ones and a 4-legged friend, we had ample space in this sweet little cottage, with the fantastic screened in porch area being our favorite hangout spot. Not to mention, the thrilling fishing just steps away on both the dock of the property, and the boat we rented for the week from Norris Bait and Tackle. The kids had a blast! The shoreline of the lake offers many beautiful properties to not miss sightseeing. In addition to those things, and the tasty food in Westport (don't miss the Cove Inn!), Erika was the most optimal host! Prior to our visit, Erika was in contact with us, inquiring what would make our stay the most comfortable for us, and even after we were home, she was very responsive and accommodating of some things we had accidentally left behind. Overall a fantastic and memorable experience for our first visit to Canada!
