North Kawartha Cottage | Two Private Islands, Super Quiet Part Of Lake, Yet Close To Action

5 Bedroom Cottage in North Kawartha

Please take note that our cottage is on 2 private islands. There is one 3 bedroom main cottage and 2 smaller sleeping cabins. The main building is open 3 seasons, however the 2 sleeping out buildings are only in use July and August. As such in spring (May-June) and fall (Sept-Oct) our maximum occupancy is 8 people.
Also in order to rent our cottage at least one person in your group must have a valid boating license (PCOC.) This person must be capable of driving a small outboard boat. A copy of this PCOC must be provided before confirming the rental. There is no taxi service to deliver you to our islands.
The main cottage was built in 2010, open, airy, close to water on all sides. You feel like you are on a boat from all rooms. Many large mature trees and wildlife. Cottage beautifully appointed with: antiques, pine interior, art, stained glass, open cottagey-kitchen, large open living/dining, awesome for entertaining.
Bedrooms are large, beds are good quality, linens and towels provided, kitchen is fully stocked, spices provided. Outdoor seating for sun-downers, charcoal and propane BBQs. Large outdoor picnic table where most dinners are eaten. A swing and a hammock.
Privacy galore. Your pets are welcome. Breezy in evenings but out of the wind and out of the boat traffic, few bugs in summer.
Lots of boat docking. Comes with one canoe. Motor boats can be rented from Kawartha Park Marina or Peel Marine. Islands are fairly level and low to the water, thus easy for older guests or any challenged at walking, yet I would not say wheel chair accessible.
A wood stove has been installed in the living room and the cottage is fully insulated, so it is suitable for shoulder season rental. Fishermen, writers, readers, poet and those wishing the quieter side of cottage country are all welcome!
Swimming is good and deep off the north island dock.
Bunkie on north island is 100 yrs old and very original, duck when you enter the door! King bed there. There is no bathroom on this island.
Bunkie on main island has queen bed, close to main cottage.
Main building is 1800 sq ft, with 3 huge bedrooms. The master BR has king bed and 2 piece ensuite, bedroom #2 has a queen and 2 twins. bedroom #3 has kid quality bunk beds plus a twin. Building is insulated, all bedrooms have ceiling fans, it remains cool on hot days.
Bathroom down has claw foot tub and hand held shower (not a stand up shower) and decorated with Turkish tiles. There is an outside shower.
Very close to heritage sites and buildings of Association of Stony Lake Cottagers. During July and August only, this includes: Juniper Island Store (quick meals, penny candy, ice creams, drinks etc,) Stony Lake Yacht Club (junior sailing program, tennis courts, racing on weekends,) a pavillion (for movies and square dancing weekly,) swimming lessons, canoeing lessons, masquerade and historic recently rebuilt government dock with a pagoda that goes back to steam boats and long dresses. It just goes on and on. Really must be seen to be believed.
Boat access only. Parking for one car is provided with the rental at Dunford's Landing.
Additional cars are charged $10/day and payable in cash to landing owners. There is also a boat launch for a small cash fee. Access point is best from Dunford's Landing. There is a washing machine. There is no dishwasher. There is wifi, at no added cost. Cell phones work here. there is no landline anymore.

Summary: Paradise

Sami M. Jul 11, 2023 01:23:11 PM

Summary: Amazing stay! Beautiful and roomy cottage. Panoramic views of the water very special. Owners are responsive and helpful.

Sep 6, 2022 07:23:53 AM

Summary: Great Property for our Family to wind down after long summer - cottage is very open with room enough for our Family (Adult Children) - property was exactly as described - easy to get to from mainland - very clean - all features required of a great stay. Pam was an excellent host who communicated all the way through rental with details and assistance to make our week most enjoyable!

Pooneh V. Oct 1, 2021 07:28:45 AM

Summary: The place is dreamy! The main cottage is beautifully decorated and had nice furniture. The master bedroom is really nice! The kitchen is well equipped. The dishwashing was a bit stressful because we wanted to ensure we don't clog the drain and keep the sink very clean. Overall, it was a lovely stay and I would like to go back when the weather is nice.

Chengcheng Y. Sep 14, 2021 01:06:40 AM

Summary: Clean, quiet and beautiful. big enough for 3 families.

Christian A. Aug 28, 2021 03:58:28 AM

Summary: Pam's property is very well looked after and we had no issues whilst there. The small tin boat with 15hp outboard worked flawlessly and would be more that enough for 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children to get to a few places on the lake for ice creams or lunch out at Hobarts light house, McCracken's landing. The beds are comfy and kitchen well stocked for a cottage. Great swimming off the small attached island. We would absolutely recommend a visit and it was worth the price. Thank you Pam, Bruce and Tulah

Summary: What an amazing and special place! We booked a stay for three nights to catch up with some family that we have not seen for too long and this place was perfect. The information provided by the owner made it easy to plan our trip and we didn't have any issues getting to the island or immediately being able to relax once we arrived. Luckily, we had nice weather so we were able to paddle, fish, and swim all day which this place is set up perfectly for. The main floor of the cottage was a beautiful place to socialize and relax, and all the bedrooms were comfortable. I am already thinking about planning another trip.

Summary: Pros The view: Upon arriving at the location, you immediately noticed the beautiful view off of the dock. The island is very private and quiet as advertised. The dock is maintained very well and the main building has a cozy all-wood interior. The fishing was very good off the side of the main dock and the sunset was spectacular! Interior: The interior of the main building is very welcoming and comfy. The kitchen has many utensils and cookware to choose from, which was great as we did lots of cooking. The fridge, oven and other appliances also worked very well. Cons: Washing dishes: As we were told, the plumbing system is very delicate, so we should be extremely cautious when washing the dishes. As it cannot take any fat or even tiny bits of food, we had to wipe dirty dishes before washing and drying to avoid clogging the drain. The water pressure was also very low, so we ended up spending a significant amount of time washing dishes each night. Something to keep in mind, especially with a larger group of travelers. The bugs: Unfortunately, there were a lot of bugs at night – everything but black flies. As a result, we were forced to stay indoors as soon as the sun went down each night. I’m sure this will be less of an issue later in the Summer season. The heat: On the weekend we went, it was very hot and stuffy in the bedrooms. The two floor fans that we found were both broken. If we had one in each room, I think it would be much more comfortable at night. Thankfully, the living room had a great breeze from the big windows surrounding the seating area. Overall, we had some fun over the weekend. Thanks, Pam.

Summary: Great spot for a family reunion. We had fun fishing, swimming, boating, enjoyed lunches outside, dinners inside, and wine near the fireplace. Everything was well thought out and had a cozy/homey feel about it. Pam was informative and cooperative (connected us with a neighbor who helped us with transportation to the island).

Jie M. Sep 16, 2020 02:34:17 AM

Summary: Hello Pam, we had a wonderful time at your cottage, thanks for the arrangements that allowed us to enjoy~ the location is perfect, quiet and private; Stoney lake is impressive. Gloria is very helpful by answering some questions when we were there. thank you! we will visit again Maggie
