About this property

Private Waterfront Cottage on the lake

Enjoy this peaceful 2-bdrm cottage on the lake surrounded by trees, with your own dock, canoe, and pedal-boat. When not relaxing on the beautiful deck or on the water, you're just a 20 minute drive to Charlottetown, 25 minutes to incredible north shore beaches or 25 minutes to world-class golf at Crowbush Cove! One queen bed and one bunkbed make it perfect for 2-4 people. There is a futon in the living room too.

Cottage life

We usually visit PEI with our camper, but this year we decided to rent a cottage. Our stay in Mount Stewart was great. The cottage was clean and it had all of the little details we needed. Communication with the owners was excellent. Wewoulrent from this owner again

Owners have a "For Sale" sign at the roadway. This is very telling for the remainder.Over half of the drawers in the dressers/night stands are broken. My kids had to stack their drawers on the floor in their room because they could not be used in the dresser.Fitted sheets were not on the beds at arrival, rather in the drier. Disappointing to have to remake your bed upon arrival.Futon bed/couch frame in the living room is VERY broken. This could not be used as a bed at all. You would have to remove the mattress to the floor if you wanted to use it as a bed. To me this makes the claim that this place sleeps 6 not true.Washer/dryer are not shown in the interior pictures. They are of the stackable variety and are located next to the fridge where the dining table is shown. This is especially deceptive because it gives a very inaccurate sense of the space, worse the table is now in an area with no overhead lighting and makes accessing the master bedroom and bathroom cumbersome.Kitchen tools, pans, etc, are laugable at best.Significant spider problem.NOT property owners fault or factored in my rating:We really were looking forward to using the lakeside area shown in photos for camp fires, throwing a ball around, sitting by or going out on the lake etc. This was not possible due to the HEAVY amount of mosquitoes. We had one afternoon with enough wind off the lake to keep them down but apart from that the backyard was unuseable despite all our mosquito defense efforts.

Perfect

Super chalet. Parfait pour notre famille de 4. Situé au centre de l’île près de Charlottetown. La localisation centrale nous a permis de visiter les 4 coins de IPE pendant les 10 jours de notre séjour. Bien équipé. Nous avons profité du lac et du terrain. Je recommande sans hésiter

Très bien mais quelques pépins!

Deux amies en vacances pour la semaine. Le chalet était parfait pour nos besoins. Tout était propre à notre arrivée. Les hôtes ont répondu rapidement à nos questions avant notre séjour et semblaient très enthousiastes de nous accueillir. Malheureusement, nous ne les avons pas rencontré en personne. Le grand lit était très confortable, toutefois le lit à deux étages n’est pas l’idéal pour un adulte. Le système de climatisation et les ventilateurs nous permettaient d’être au frais la nuit. Nous n’avons pas eu accès au wifi durant notre séjour et même avec les données cellulaires, c’était très lent et parfois impossible de faire des recherches sur internet pour planifier nos activités (avec Telus et Bell). Les propriétaires ont contacté un technicien mais le problème n’a pas pu être réglé avant notre départ. J’ai dû payer des frais pour l’ajout de données cellulaires. Aussi, il y avait un nid de guêpes à côté de la porte patio. C’était très dérangeant. Nous avons informé les propriétaires le samedi. Rien n’a était fait. Nous étions rarement au chalet sauf la dernière journée où j’ai été piquée par l’une d’elle. Si vous louez, assurez-vous auprès des propriétaires que le problème est réglé, surtout si vous êtes allergique. Dans l’ensemble le chalet répondait à nos attentes. Décor magnifique, parfait pour un feu, mais apportez votre chasse moustiques! Nous n’avons manqué de rien (sauf de savon à vaisselle).

About the host

Hi! Thank you very much for choosing to rent our Glenfinnan Lake House. We live in PEI and use the cottage a couple of weeks each year, but love to see it enjoyed by others. The lake is beautiful and you won't believe how easy the drive is into Charlottetown, or to the beaches, or nearby golf courses. This cozy cottage is one of our most favourite places to be. Enjoy! - Sarah and Steve

Why they chose this property

This private waterfront cottage on Glenfinnan Lake is a cozy paradise and couldn't be better located in PEI. You won't want to leave this beautiful space - whether boating on the lake, or bbq'ing from the deck, it offers the perfect vacation retreat. 20 minutes in any direction you can find everything from world class golf and beaches, to the restaurants, theatres, and nightlife of historic Charlottetown. Don't miss your chance to enjoy this time away.

What makes this property unique

Being on the lake provides you with your own opportunity to canoe or pedal-boat without having to rent boats or challenge the rougher sea water. You can still enjoy all PEI has to offer because you are so close to everything, but still secluded. It's a great place to take a break and relax!
