We enjoyed our stay. The cottage offers everything and more. Very private, comfortable, clean and spacious. Lots to do inside and outside. Only downfall to our vacay was the cold weather, fire ban and lack of good fishing..not the cottage owner’s fault. Would highly recommend to book a stay. Property owner Darren very responsive.

Cozy cabin on Lake St. Peter

This is a cozy little cabin that has a rustic feel with all amenities provided on site. Canoe, paddleboat, and kayak are available with great access to the lake. We had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend this cottage for a young family or a couple seeking some solitude away from the city.

Quaint getaway

The cottage and property are very nice, it is very quiet and private. The water is beautiful. The only downside is the amount of stairs to get to it. We had a lovely time.

Our favourite summer getaway

This was our 6th visit to the cottage on Lake St. Peter, which should express how much we enjoy our time there. The cottage is well appointed, the water amazing, the dock/swimming dock perfect for diving and cannonball competitions, and every watercraft you might want to use or try. The hosts are clear, friendly, and communicative, and I heartily recommend this property.

More than expected

Had such a great time with the family! Cottage was equipped with way more than expected. I had brought some of my sons toys with us but it definitely was not needed. Soo many things for kids to do and super relaxing for the adults. Highly recommend, especially for families!

A beautiful and private cottage property. If you have mobility issues the steps to the lake may prove challenging, but otherwise this property is fantastic! On a very quiet end of the lake with a sandy gradual entry to the water. The paddle boat, stand up paddle board, canoe, etc made it easy to get out on the water. The cottage has a great and comfortable layout and you feel right at home. The screened in porch is great for enjoying fresh air while being protected from rain and bugs.It's close to a main road (a few minutes drive) but far enough away to feel very secluded. Neighbors are visible from the dock but not from the cottage itself.We enjoyed our extra long weekend here and would recommend it to others.

We are happy you enjoyed the space. And yes, there are over 50 steps to the lake from the cottage- and while we have a hand rail installed, it is not great for anyone with mobility issues.

Perfect cottage getaway

We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage. It really had everything we needed plus more. The lake was quiet and clean, really great for swimming and kayaking. Not much luck fishing but I’m sure there were other good spots close by. The screened in porch was perfect for meals and games nights, we really enjoyed that. Bancroft is a short drive away for groceries and there are lots of cool antique shops between there and maynooth. We also visited the Algonquin park logging museum and Egan chutes (amazing waterfalls), and enjoyed both. Overall we found our stay to be very enjoyable and relaxing, a great family experience!

Peaceful stay

We, grandparents, children and grandchild enjoyed our stay. Beautiful property on quiet small lake. Lots of toys and activities for the 3 yr old. Back living room and screened in dining porch were thoroughly enjoyed. Fireplace was so welcome on those chilly September mornings. Kitchen small but functional. Only negatives would be cabin was not very clean. And the 64 steps down to the water was a bit daunting for us seniors and our 3 yr old. Regardless we made great memories and had a restful stay. Thank you for opening up your property to us!

Amazing family cottage in a convenient location

We are avid visitors to Algonquin Park and so we wanted our family cottage experience to reflect that. We chose this cabin both for it's proximity to the Park and for its range of amenities geared to families. The cottage was ideally situated for us, making it an easy drive from the Belleville/PEC area. The inside of the cottage wasn't too fancy - I know people like fancy, but when it comes to cottages we prefer older and simple. There was a good amount of space to cook, hang-out, and sleep. We had a couple of cooler days and a bit of rain, and the cottage held us, our games, crafts, snacks, and so forth without issue. The kitchen was well-appointed and easy to cook/clean. The TV/DVD player was fine for our limited usage. The bathroom was superior and had been renovated. The new addition just completed this summer is a wonderful room, and really makes the cottage spacious without losing its charm. The outside patio was great for meals on sunny days. Our kids were perpetually entertained with the toys and books that were available, as well as the play structure, the nice lawn for running, and the treehouse. The kids really adored it. The lake is excellent for swimming either from shore or off the dock. There are a good canoe and kayak, and we used those a lot. Our only reservation was the amount of boat traffic on the lake relative to its size. We canoe in parks, so we found that jarring a few times, but it didn't really impact our pleasure, and the kids thought it was cool to see boats pulling other kids at high speeds. The hosts are great, they really have thought of everything, and they are really receptive to questions. Overall our experience was nearly perfect, and it will go down as one of our best family holidays.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this pristinely clean, well-appointed, and beautiful lake view property. The highlights of our trip were the private dock access and a tree-shaded nook that looked out onto the lake where we spent a lot of our visit. We took our choice of the paddleboat over the canoe and ventured out to the accessible lake. The cottage itself was the ultimate in relaxation and recent upgrades to the property were apparent such as the bathroom and screened-in eating area. Many books, games, and toys were available for rainy days; ideal for a young family. Thank you for your clear and friendly communication, Darren! We’re looking forward to another visit next year.

This was genuinely such an incredible trip. Darren and Lorri were fantastic and so easy to communicate with. We had such a smooth experience from start to finish. The property is beautiful and had so much more than we anticipated. Almost every piece of furniture opens up in some way to reveal more toys, games, or crafts for our 7 year old to explore. We spent the majority of our week in the water swimming, boating and fishing. We saw a family of loons, a few turkeys, and lots of really cool bugs and wildlife. The tooth fairy even made a surprise appearance - how magical!We genuinely could not be happier with our stay and as long as it’s available, we will be coming back. Ps: Maynooth is such a beautiful little town with tons of antique shops and other shops to check out if you have a chance!

Beautiful Cottage on Quiet Bay

We rented this cottage in the fall with my family and had a great time. The cottage is well-kept with everything you need, even for rainy days, with a huge selection of games and dvds. The real beauty of this place is the location on a quiet bay on Lake St. Peter. Even on windy days, the bay was calm. The lakeside living room has windows all around and the screen room gives you great views and a bug-free outdoor experience in any weather. No problems with internet or cell reception and the Byers were also quick to respond to any questions we had.

Perfect cottage week for our family

Excellent swimming, right off the dock; we also enjoyed the raft. Lake is a great size for canoe exploration with young kids. For rainy days, the cottage had a huge selection of games, puzzles, books and DVDs, for adults and kids alike. Cottage was perfect balance of comfortable and rustic for us. Spent lots of evening time in the screened-in porch and windowed living room; loved the way these rooms felt integrated with the outside world. Scooped Moose ice cream, provincial park with a great beach, and a well-stocked general store each just a few minutes away. Great communication from host.

Beautiful cottage with lake view

We went for my daughter’s birthday and had a lovely time at this cottage. It has the charm of a traditional cottage with all the comfort, and lots of windows to watch the surrounding nature, The lake is just a few steps down and a wonderful place to relax, swim or paddle boat.

This was our 4th time here. As always it was absolutely amazing vacation. The cottage, the waterfront, the kids toys and books, tree house, swing set are all perfect for our family. Could do without the deer flies, but its the only downside about this area.

Glad to hear that you had a good time! Yes, the deer flies in the area can be bad, typically in the June-July period. We recommend bug jackets for hikes and staying near the water where there are not so many!

Great place!

The property is very out of the way which is great for discovering the Canadian outdoors with access to the lake. A quick heads-up for international travellers, you need to take bedlinen and bath towels.
Response from VrboOwner on 29 March 2020
Thanks for the reminder to everyone that we do not provide linens or towels. While our remote location is ideal for exploring the Canadian wilderness, it makes it challenging for us to provide some of these basics without laundry services. We encourage our guests to bring their own towels and sleeping bags if they do not have their own bed sheets.

Cottage Review

Great cottage feel, clean and has everything you need with a lot of space for a small family. Swiming was good-dear/horse flies not so much being early in the season. Nevertheless, easy to make it a relaxing time away. No stress. Darren is a great host. :)
