The space
Come enjoy all that Still Valley Lake has to offer! Relax on a covered porch and see beautiful lake views from every room. Make use of the shared beach, complimentary canoe, adult kayaks & youth kayak, swim, or fish (catch and release). Please note that the lake is lowered for the winter by mid November until spring, so access is limited. Beach towels, camping chairs, and fire pit are included.

No outside boats permitted.

The dedicated beach area is adjacent to a beach used by other property owners. Other people might be present. Please do not assume that the beach will be vacant. Respect the area marked for other property owners' use (see sign located on the storage container located on the right side of the beach facing the water). Do NOT use the docks and pontoon boat closest to the cottage. For a private space, please consider booking our other property, Still Valley Lake Loft.

The small kitchen is fully functional, with 2 burner electric cooktop, a combination microwave/convection oven, compact refrigerator, toaster oven, coffee maker and dishwasher. There is no full size traditional oven. Charcoal grill available.

Twin beds can easily be pushed together. Wood burner for use with temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit for a cozy winter stay . Please bring your own wood.

There is a 100 foot elevation change up and down to reach the cottage. 4WD or AWD are needed if snow or ice is present.

We suggest utilizing the Mount Union nature centre close by, which has dedicated hiking trails. Guests are welcome to walk on the drive.

The lake is lowered by mid-November thru spring. Access is limited during that period, and no pontoon boat or water-skiing is available.

As a private lake, there is limited access and boat traffic. Guests do not have exclusive use of the lake and property. The beach is a shared space.
