Perfect place to relax

Amazing place to relax and take in the views. Kids loved running outside with our dog or sat and admired the view over the lake. Close to Picton to pick up anything you need.

Lovely cottage

Very well equipped kitchen, perfectly clean cottage, lovely location! My only comment is that the living room is a little smaller than we expected, particularly for 6 adults. Screened-in porch with dining table has seating for 8 and fabulous views of the lake. Patricia was very easy to deal with and she responded to questions very quickly. Lots to do in the area. I would definitely rent there again.

A Wonderful Property!

This cottage was a pleasant surprise! We loved the open concept, the kitchen was well stocked with new appliances. Everything was fresh and clean. Situated right on the lake, the view is spectacular! The location was pleasantly quiet with lots of space for our dog to run around. We particularly enjoyed sitting by the lake lazily watching the swans drift by. The owner, Patricia, was extremely helpful, quick to respond, and went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. We will definitely return!

Beautiful location! Very quiet and private (even with neighbours close by). Cottage had everything we needed. Only issue was digital lock system. Big concern about the possibility of locking ourselves out. Had to make sure we traveled with log in details, as it kicked us off a couple of times. Could use a bar or tub mat in the showers (but that’s just my age group :). All in all a lovely vacation break — thank you! K

Spotless home on the water

Great renovations that have turned this little home into a lovely open-plan retreat - great for socialising. Fantastic kitchen with everything needed to cook up a feast - including complimentary olive oil/ herbs etc. Truly a treat. A fully screened deck makes it easy to dine with a large group and a great view. A bbq is provided too. The house has aircon and comfy beds (my only wish would be for a down pillow.) The indoor living area/soft seating is small so rainy days get a bit long but the hosts provide games and the porch makes it pleasant to be “indoors.” We loved the little pier and spent time in the two kayaks provided. (Note - no diving off the dock and the water has weeds.) we lived the big outdoor fire pit. There are, as expected, plenty of insects in the outdoors - be prepared to clean off the outdoor chairs of cobwebs etc. Easy checkin with code lock on door. Thanks for a great stay!

Where do I even start? This house is exactly as described, and we have rarely been so pleasantly surprised at such a peaceful and scenic the view from a lakeside location. A hidden gem. The house has everything you need, the kitchen is super functional, and the kayaks are a nice bonus. Coffee on the dock at 8am is just perfection. Patricia was super easy to reach. Would stay here again, without a doubt.

We had such a nice time at the Lazy Acre Cottage, from the time we stepped into the cottage until the time we left there were only pleasant surprises. Patricia was a wonderful host and was extremely easy to get a hold of for any questions about the property. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with anything and everything you could want. We had a celebration with our girls for a new job and new house and there were even champagne flutes. Our favourite part of the property was sitting by the water on the comfy lounge chairs to watch goings on with our morning coffee and a cocktail before dinner. I can't say anything negative about our 5 day experience and the air conditioning was so very much appreciated as it was terrible hot those days. One more thing the beds and sheets were so very comfortable to climb into at the end of the day which was also very much appreciated, I'm very picky about my sheets. My family and I would definitely give the cottage and experience 5 stars and not hesitate to recommend the cottage and would love to return.

Thanksgiving in the County

The property had everything we needed to enjoy a long weekend in the fall. The kitchen was well appointed, and dining in the sunroom overlooking the lake was lovely. Everything was super clean, and comfortable. The host, Patricia was responsive to our inquiries and the bottle of local wine was a nice surprise. It was a great location as it is close to the wineries and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Beautiful view

We enjoyed our stay here, especially the outdoor area with the lake access, kayaks, fire pit, hammock, and beautiful view. We appreciated that the house was very well stocked with everything you need for cooking, towels etc., and was very spotless clean. The only downside is that the beds just weren't comfortable for our personal preferences.

Lovely Getaway!

Patricia is a wonderful host. The cottage is cozy and very clean. We caught (and released) many small fish off the dock, rented a pontoon boat on West Lake for a day and toured around Picton and surrounding towns. Dinners out at Stella’s and local Picton restaurants were very yummy. Wish we could have stayed longer!
