A modern but rustic interior inc central heat/AC & Level 2 EV Charger. Additional features inc stand up paddleboard, kayaks, brand new paddle boat, workspace, badminton net & King-sized bed as well as new dock installed in 2024. Whether you're seeking a peaceful getaway, fun-filled adventure, or simply a chance to reconnect with nature, our cottage offers a tranquil escape where the sounds of loons and light waves caressing the shores are the norm. The space The cottage sits level to the lake and faces west, to perfectly catch the stunning, nightly sunsets. The immediate waterfront is sandy with scattered rocks - no weeds. Parents have a clear view of the kids playing in the water from one of two decks, where you can also savour your morning coffee, indulge in a delicious barbecue, or enjoy a glass of wine taking in the sounds of nature and breathtaking display of colors or a dark-night sky. The water itself has gradual entry and is very shallow at the start, making it perfect for kids and smaller children. The waters also tend to warm up faster than other lakes as Varty is in general not as deep. The property is so well-treed, you can’t see it from the road! The abundance of trees and foliage make it more private from neighbours and really makes you feel like you have your own piece of the forest - not to mention that some parts provide ample shade. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a clean and quaint atmosphere that blends modern touches with rustic elements. New floors, doors and all new windows were added in 2023 making the inside feel modern and chic. But don’t be fooled, the large patio door and bright awning-style windows remind you that you are truly in nature, with panoramic views of the shimmering lake and surrounding trees allowing you to feel truly immersed in the tranquil surroundings. The cottage boasts a brand new, recently renovated, fully-equipped kitchen that includes modern, brand new appliances including a dishwasher, flat-top stove and new fridge with a fully consumable water filter. The living room area is a spacious, urban-style haven with cottage-y touches complete with a pull-down sofa bed (sleeps 2), live edge coffee table and brand new, 51 inch Samsung Smart TV. A workspace desk is also available with a chair to set your laptop down to catch up on work or research your week’s activities. The dining room includes a rustic Edison-lit chandelier with a brand new, locally handcrafted, solid wood dining room set with a bench that altogether can seat 7. At the end of the day, retreat to the comfort of our well-appointed bedrooms, where peaceful nights of restful sleep await. Wake up refreshed and ready to embark on another day of adventure or simply revel in the tranquility of the surroundings. The master bedroom includes two lake-view windows, a King-sized bed, nightstands, closet and dresser. The second bedroom offers a sunrise-view window with closet, dresser, games drawer (with poker set) and a single-over-double bunk bed that can sleep a total of 3. Finally, the bathroom was also recently renovated continuing the modern/rustic charm with barn-door vanity, Edison light bulbs and new shower stall. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet -

The house was clean , mattresses very comfortable ( fold out couch surprisingly also very comfortable!). The kitchen had all the necessities for making family meals.

All you need to bring is your personal belongings and your groceries. Rooms were all tastefully decorated and all the appliances were new and up to date. Danielle was great had to call her a couple of times to ask questions and answered right away. Lake was warm enough to swim even in beginning of June. Loved that we could bring our fur baby with us. If you need groceries you will have to drive into town we didn't find anything close to us. Loved being close to Kingston and surrounding areas to go and do the bigger things and explore only 30 minutes drive. Danielle and Ivan had everything were needed and more. Glad we rented this property. ##### Susan M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gary B. Jul 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Gathering Pretty much as advertised. Beautiful lake view. The cottage is nicely furnished and decorated. The property is long but narrow, so the neighbours are closer than you'd expect in a cottage setting and you can hear their conversations when outside. Pet-friendly means dogs are allowed but must be on leash or tied up when outside and aren't permitted on the furniture. While not unreasonable, knowing this in advance may have influenced our decision to book, as we were travelling with 2 dogs. This was exacerbated by my failure to check (either because I didn't see it or it got unchecked through a form validation error) the Travelling with Pets checkbox. Thus I was not advised of these restrictions until check-in and the neighbour yelled at us as we were unloading the car and one of the dogs strayed onto her property, which is not separated by a fence. ##### Gary B.

Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy The cottage was nice, but the beds were aweful. Not very comfortable for adults or the bunk beds either. I had to go buy a sponge to soften the bed. The lake was nice being close to the cottage, not a whole lot of walking. Hosts were good. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/07ed0e78-d82d-4703-be9a-4aa1c38ffedc-1753746458764.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a987cb33-4c03-4ae3-9e91-4ac69d3abaaa-1753746457116.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rita C.

Aug 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy The house is beautiful, everything was in top working order. The neighbor was a bit abrasive. The cottage was advertised as pet friendly so we brought our dog. The second we got out of our truck the neighbor stomped over and told us that we need to have our dog on a leash at all times. Our dog is an old German Shepherd who has trouble walking and rarely leaves my side. My husband was angered by the abrupt intrusion which stressed me and my daughter out. It added a layer of stress that wasn't necessary or warranted. A proper fence would make this cottage a 5\* stay ##### Tonya R. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian L.
