About this property

Seasonal waterfront retreat on Sharbot Lake

Enjoy a stay on the beautiful and relaxing Sharbot Lake. The loons are calling you. It's peaceful, serene, and it's fishing is unsurpassed. There is canoe and 2 kayaks that you are welcome to use. Currently, there is a 20' dock, that we are hoping to add on to soon. You can bring your own boat. There are boat launches a short distance to town. We are located in a shallow cove, so we recommend that you use the town beach for swimming, until we can get a swim dock. There is horseshoe pit and firepit. It's a short distance to the village, that has a remarkable grocery store, 2 new restaurant's, bakery, marina, hardware store, beach, for all your convenances. Farmers market on Saturday's mornings in July and August. Multi use trails. Come and enjoy the many different wildlife that we enjoy seeing. I enjoy the Cardinal Cafe; Thursday night open mics @ the Kick & Push Brewing Co.; Saturday morning farmers market (go early); Seed to Sausage for Pizza; and Gray's convenance for award winning butter tarts. I love to relax and look out at the water from the front screened in porch.

The think the highlight was the screened in porch, loved being out early morning, listening and watching the world wake up. Spent many evenings out there as the sun was setting, very calming and serene.

I rented this cottage to be close to members of my family. I was really surprised to find such a nice waterfront place. Anything we need is there. The porch with the view on the lake is just perfect. Every room was very clean and when I had a question, the host came back to me rapidly.

The overall experience was great. Very private and peaceful location with a great view of the lake from the screened in porch. Kayaking was great, but not really a great spot if you want to swim. We loved it. One problem we had was the road we were on did not have a street sign.

The internet connection was better than last year but still needs improvement. They need a Canadian firestick for the television. We were unable to get any Canadian stations (news) even though the cottage was in Canada. The rooms were clean and the veranda was lovely to sit out at night as it was screened in so no worry about bugs.Huge diningroom table to accommodate at least 10 people if not more.Host was good at communication and was very helpful with our questions.

Great Stay

My husband, my son and myself had a relaxing, peaceful stay here. The cabin/cottage was clean and had all the essentials we needed for our week stay. The screened in front deck off the kitchen, overlooking the lake, was where we spent our down time. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Cottage

We had the best time staying in this perfect Sharbot Lake cottage. The cottage had everything we needed, including kitchenware, towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, storage bags, and even seasonings to cook with. Everything was spotless and the property was well-manicured. The screened-in porch was spacious and comfortable with a beautiful lake view. The porch was one of our favorite places to spend time together in the mornings and evenings. I highly recommend renting this cottage!

it's a 5 star cottage

I use to rent a cottage on silver lake for 16 years and I know sharbot lake very well. So my son and I decided to rent this cottage on sharbot lake. The cottage was very equipped with all the essentials. I was very impressed. My son and I had a very quiet and relaxing time. The screened in porch was awesome. We spent hours out on the porch. Thanks Carol you are awesome.

Great Getaway

This cottage is just as advertised. Well equipped, beautiful quiet location. We walked, kayaked, went into town to explore. We spent our down time on the screened in porch which was fantastic. Internet was not workjng when we arrived and a service call was placed. The outage was due to the satellite dish being moved, NO fault of the owner!! Carol was very responsive in expediting the repair.

Little piece of paradise

This property is right on the lake. It was surprising very well stocked. It had EVERYTHING you can think. Literally evrything. We were very comfortable here. My children loved the badminton set and played the whole time we were there. It is thankfully close the grocery store. I especially loved the screened in porch and watched the sunset every night. We fished right of the dock and caught a fish but we had to let it go as my son felt bad for taking a fish from its family. The only downside which has nothing to do with the property or the owners were the water snakes. We found at least one everyday. Over all, we l9ved our stay.

A Time Well Spent

The cottage is just that...a cottage. Having said that, it was full of delightful amenities such as wifi, large Samsung tv and dvd player for movie nights, a screened in porch with comfortable chairs facing the lake and very comfortable beds. I spent most of my time on the porch enjoying the breeze and staring at the lake. It was a good thing the porch was screened in because the deerflies were buzzing around my head ( on a short walk I took one day). There were kayaks and a canoe available but we are not big boat people. The Weber barbecue worked like a dream and there was even Alexa in the corner of the living room! All in all it was a time well spent.

Where to begin? We spent this Labour Day long weekend at Carol’s cottage and it was absolutely amazing. The cottage is exactly what we expected and more! We arrived Friday night, and took full advantage of the sun porch, the fairy lights were a nice touch and we were excited for next day! On Saturday, we explored Sharbot’s Lake and the farmers market where we bought local maple syrup before heading to the grocery store. Everything was within a short distance, even doing a few walks into town to explore. We made sure to get full use of the water toys, my son-in-law and I took the kayaks out around the bays for fishing and were surprised with how many bites we were getting and a lot of catch and releases near the island across the bay. My daughter ensured to soak up all of her time in the hammock, reading and checking to see where we were on the lake. The amenities were more than we expected, lots of plates, cups, mugs, and cookware. The stove worked amazing, as did the BBQ which we used quite a bit. We also had a few late night fires, and couldn’t get over how much we loved the firepit. All in all, we had an amazing weekend and thank you for hosting us via VRBO.
