About this property

Santa's Waterfront Cottage Retreat - Cozy and Quiet

Step into Santa's private cottage retreat, where everyday is a holiday. Located in the heart of Ontario's farmland, enjoy the sights and sounds of nature on the Trent River. 15 min to Campbellford and Stirling. Plenty of entertainment and recreational activities provided. Great fishing spot! Whether you like boating, biking, playing board games, reading a book with unbeatable views, or simply relaxing with a brew while beaver and bird-watching, an unforgettable time awaits you at Santa's Cottage!

The cottage is perfect for nature-loving families and couples looking for a relaxing getaway! It feels private but is located in the 4-season serviced community of Green Acres. There is plenty to do for both adventure-seekers and those who prefer to stay in.

Relax in the themed living room (6.10ft ceiling) complete with a couch, rocking chair and soft foldable chair. It features a large window overlooking the backyard and river - a perfect spot for birdwatching. Wildlife is plentiful, including great blue herons, beavers, river otter, turtles, rabbits and woodpeckers.

For staying in, a Roku Stick, DVD movies, board games, and books for various ages are provided. This includes Disney+, Prime Video, Roku Channel, YouTube, CBC, Netflix (own account required) and more.

Enjoy a cup of Keurig-brewed coffee or cook a meal at the fully-equipped kitchen! Complete with fridge, microwave, stove/oven, rice cooker, toaster and kettle. Pans and all cooking necessities provided.

The first bedroom features a queen bed, computer workspace, and a dresser/makeup area. The second bedroom features two twin beds and a dresser/makeup area. Bedsheets, pillows, duvet and blankets are provided.

The washroom has a stand-in shower. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hair dryer and towels are provided.

The outdoor space is a large 1/3 acre private fenced backyard. It contains a deck overlooking the Trent River, BBQ, and firepit. Firewood provided, but fires must be reported to the fire department.

The dock is a great spot for watching sunsets and fishing!

From April to November, a 2 person canoe, 2 single kayaks and youth/child kayak are provided, along with all rowing equipment, life jackets and bailing kits. The nearby wilderness area and back channel are perfect to explore for beginners (seasonal). Note that motorized craft use the channel so we do not recommend boating very far up or down the river unless you are a strong swimmer. We are not responsible for accidents or injuries.

Other outdoor activities provided include 2 adult hybrid bicycles (April - November), croquet, disc throw, soccer ball, frisbee, etc..

Please note that as the property plumbing is on a holding tank, we kindly ask guests to conserve water whenever possible.

Snow White’s backyard
Birds, bunnies, squirrels, turtles.. absolutely no shortage of entertainment by Mother Nature. Even had the sweetest orange kitty visit us on our last day. The big living room window and comfy recliner kept us entertained all afternoon when the weather got a little hot. (AC kept the inside temp nice and cozy). The wild life was even more active and entertaining when we weren’t crashing their party by being outside. The swing outside made for the perfect nook for reading. Watching the mist and rain roll in on the river in the early hours was also just chef’s kiss. Great little getaway if you want to disconnect from city life for a few days. All the creature comforts, no bugs inside, and super clean. Even if you’re not a morning person, highly reco waking up at 6am and have your tea or coffee on the dock, you will not be disappointed. Hosts were lovely and responsive to! Will def be back!
