Come escape, and recharge in our peaceful lakeside cottage. Rejuvenate near shimmering water, encircled by trees. Enjoy summer kayaking (kayaks are here for you to use) and swimming off the dock. Linger on winter lake walks and skating with the local ducks. Relax by the fireplace with a movie, board game or Wii bowling!

Our 2 bedroom cottage is 10 minutes to Rothesay and Quispamsis and 15 minutes to Saint John city centre. Perfectly situated near restaurants and breweries, museums and farmer's markets. You will love it here!

The fully equipped kitchen allows for preparing yummy family meals. The seating overlooks the tranquil lake and spacious yard that is the perfect backdrop for outdoor gatherings. Enjoy a bonfire and star gazing... you might see a shooting star!

Cozy Lakeside Cottage

We had a great stay and our host was available and helpful. The cottage was very clean had everything we needed. One small suggestion: get a few more table knives (forks and other cutlery were all plentiful!).

5 night family stay

Little piece of paradise; this is a simple and lovely little lake front cottage with everything that you need. Cozy, warm and the main bed was very comfortable. Bathroom is sweet with great shower. Close to SJ, Rothesay, airport, and highways. We live only 10 minutes away but would be back as it felt like a mini holiday!

Great little find

Small two bedroom cottage, on picturesque little lake. Bull frogs singing ducks and geese swimming by. Handy to hwy and any shopping necessary. Close to Saint John. Well equipped kitchen with many staples available. We were there 2 weeks and enjoyed lots of adventures close at hand. Owner promptly replied to all queries

First timers

Very clean and kitchen had everything for cooking. Beds very comfortable. Great sunset from the pier. Convenient drive into St. John and Fundy Trail. TV a bit confusing for use. Would recommend a blind on the front door for more privacy. Overall very pleasant.

Absolutely beautiful

The cabin is perfect. You can just sit on the couch and look out at the beautiful, calming lake. This is clearly a loved cabin. The host has left everything you could need and hopefully some you won't like an emergency health kit. I would love to come back and stay longer. That should say it all.

The cottage and property is so pretty, we liked it as soon as we pulled into the driveway. Spotlessly clean and comfortable inside. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking plus a bbq! We had beautiful sunsets every night and this cottage is dog friendly so my pup had a wonderful time playing in the water and running free. I cannot thank our host enough for allowing us to bring our dog as she is a beloved member of our family. St. John, restaurants and a grocery store are minutes away which made things very convenient. Our host was amazing, he was welcoming, friendly and answered all my questions in a very timely manner. A BIG thank you to Christopher!

ADORABLE!!!

Cozy is the perfect word to describe this little cottage. We were a bit concerned about not having air conditioning, coming from the hot and humid area of Niagara, so if that’s off putting to you when considering this place, do not worry as it is extremely comfortable. The outside breeze and indoor fans cool the house down perfectly. We loved our stay here, it was very clean and picturesque. Our favourite activities were relaxing on the back deck listening to all the wildlife in and around the lake as well as canoeing and kayaking looking for the elusive loon. We hope Christopher will have us back in the future and we will most definitely recommend this to other friends and family coming to New Brunswick.

This little cottage ticks all of the boxes!!

From first contact with hosts to check out there is nothing we could say negative about this cottage! It is just minutes from shopping and sights, yet very quiet and private! The water is super warm and clean. There are geese, ducks, frogs, and fish. We even were treated to a hawk fishing, albeit not terribly successfully. The well-stocked pantry was appreciated, and so were the kayaks! A glass of wine on the back deck is the perfect way to end a busy day. I would recommend this to anyone visiting St John and area.

A little piece of paradise

We loved staying here. We came for the last week of June and it was so peaceful. There were a pair of nesting Loons that would call out in the evening paired with the singing bullfrogs and it was magical. This is a cottage not a luxury hotel but it has everything you could want. The kitchen was well stocked. There is a Superstore less than 10 minutes away. My only comment would be that the mattresses could be upgraded. The queen bed was ok but my husband has restless leg syndrome so he would have to sleep on the bunk bed and that mattress left much to be desired. Having said that we both slept in every day so obviously it didn’t affect us that much. Everything was clean and in good repair. And having your morning coffee on the dock is indeed paradise.

We love the outdoors! We rescue dogs and cats (and 1 bunny) and have shared our lives with many beautiful furry souls. We are a blended family with 2 adult sons and we are so proud to be their parents! We are very happy to be sharing our space with you. It truly is a beautiful place to be.

Why they chose this property

What more can I say? We have it all right here: a quiet lake, water vessels, private dock, all amenities within 10 minutes (shopping, groceries, restaurants, breweries), tourist attractions (Rockwood Park, Irving Nature Park, Reversing Falls, Saint John Market Square, Queen's Square Farmer's Market, New Brunswick Museum).

What makes this property unique

We are uniquely located near a city centre while nestled at the end of a private laneway on a quiet lake.
