Explore the Local Charm
Just a short drive away, the heritage town of Port Perry invites you to explore its unique shops, savor delightful local cuisine, and enjoy cultural experiences like theater performances at the historic Town Hall. For an extra dash of excitement, the Great Blue Heron Casino is conveniently located across the lake for an evening of gaming and entertainment.

Comfort, Joy, and Lifelong Memories

Cozy Place

We stayed here for a weekend for our annual sisters trip. The booking was smooth, instructions were clear, and the cottage had everything we needed. Since it was February, we appreciated all of the cozy blankets and pillows for our use. You can tell that the Bickle sisters put a lot of effort into making sure you have a fantastic experience.

Perfect Winter Weekend

It was my husband’s 50th birthday and I surprised him with a weekend getaway with friends & family. The Bickle sisters were very hospitable and I was able to do an early check in to set up everything before coming back to the cottage with my husband. The location was perfect bc it was 1 hour outside of the gta. The cottage was very clean and love the decor in the home. You can really feel the amount of love that’s put into their cottage. It was great that we were able to have a fire outside in the month of January and during the day walked outside on the frozen lake. I’m sure we will be back again. Cristina & Francois

The Bickle cottage was lovely in every respect. It was both homey and classy. Our family and friends were perfectly accommodated in the bedrooms, large common areas and waterfront.

Cozy getaway

Peaceful weekend away with a great lake view. We went with a few friends as a couples getaway to relax. The property had multiple rooms to help accommodate all guests, with a spacious living/dining room. We were happy to see how clean the place and provided all things needed to help enjoy our stay, from wi-fi, to towels, coffee machine, board games provided, pots/plates etc. Would definitely recommend, and we are definitely considering coming back.
