Escape to a private, peaceful cottage surrounded by mature trees, overlooking Chandos Lake, a large, pristine spring-fed lake in the Kawartha’s which is less than 2.5 hour drive from downtown Toronto/ 3.0 hours from Ottawa.
This cottage is ideal for families or couples in need of a getaway or a change in scenery while working/learning remotely.
Spectacular natural surroundings, expansive sky views, 150’ of clean (weed free) waterfront, 1 acre property, dock, firepit and BBQ await your enjoyment. In the warmer months, swim in the crystal-clear water, cannon ball off the dock or play with the water toys onsite (2 sea kayaks, 3 large floats, 15’ x 6’ floating lake pad). Two electronic bug zappers will minimize insect nuisance during the during the warmer months. In the winter, children’s sleds and adult snow shoes are available use.
If you prefer to stay indoors, we recommend you stretch out by they wood-burning stove and enjoy the lake and forest views from the living area. The kitchen is fully equipped for delicious meal preparation and a WIFI enabled 55” flat screen TV is available for your streaming or DVD movie viewing pleasure, along with various games & puzzles.
Unlike many recreational properties, our cottage has excellent cell phone reception on the Bell, Rogers and Telus networks, WIFI and desks within each bedroom enable virtual working / learning.
Be prepared to sleep soundly as our cottage features 3 bright and comfortable bedrooms (2 queen, 2 single mattresses), plus a queen sofa bed which were all recently purchased. Both master and guest bedroom have queen beds. Twin bedroom has two single beds (bunk).
Should you wish to explore beyond our property, Chandos Lake offers 3 Marinas (with boat rental options), excellent fishing, a nearby sandy public beach, and is within driving distance of various golf courses, trails and provincial parks. The town of Apsley is less than a 15 mins drive, should you need to restock on basic necessities, or grab a bottle of wine at the LCBO.
Things to Note:
Bookings must be made by a person 25 years of age/older and the guest must be present for the duration of the booking. Even though our cottage is very private, we ask guests to keep noise to a minimum and party bookings are not permitted.
The cottage will be cleaned & sanitized prior to your arrival. We will provide contactless key drop-off/return (lockbox). As an additional precaution, we ask our guests to provide their own bed linens, bedding, pillows & bath towels. Mattresses are new (purchased Dec 2020) and mattress protectors will be provided by the host. Kitchen linens and basic bathroom necessities will be provided by the host. Please note there is no dishwasher, washing machine/dryer on site.
We have a strict non-smoking/vaping policy. Pets are not permitted.
Water supply comes from the lake. The water within the cottage is UV treated. Reverse Osmosis filtered water is provided at the kitchen sink.
The cottage’s bedrooms and bathroom are heated with recently installed electric baseboard heaters. The primary source of heat in the living room /kitchen is the wood burning stove. We supply firewood for the wood burning stove and outdoor firepit.
We recommend the top bunk bed in the twin bedroom is utilized by children, rather than adults. (Max weight: 250lbs -bottom bunk, 200 lbs- top bunk)
Primary point of entry into the lake is via wooden stairs. There is natural sand at the bottom of the stair entry and approx. water depth of 2’-3’. From that point, the water depth increases quickly so we recommend children & adults who are not strong swimmers wear life jackets. Various life jackets (including children’s) are available onsite but guests are responsible to ensure they meet their needs.
During the warmer months (June – October), the dock will be available for guest use, but our boat will be docked on one side. The boat will not be available for our guest’s use. Should guests wish to rent a boat from the marina, it can be docked on the opposite side of our boat.
In the winter months and on wet days, we advise guests to exercise additional caution when walking on the property, especially down to the lake. The property is hilly and outdoor paths can be slippery, especially when covered with snow/ice. Please note, ice fishing is not permitted on Chandos lake.
It is guest’s responsibility to obtain the necessary licences should they wish to boat or fish on the lake.
We ask that you leave the cottage in the condition you found and we will gladly refund your $500 security deposit.
Guests will be provided with a detailed handbook upon arrival, outlining additional features and operational items for their convenience, safety and enjoyment.
