About this property
Gentle lake breezes and quiet beckon at this cozy lake cottage
Fresh lake air and quiet lull you to sleep at this two-bedroom cottage on the north side of Black Lake. Beautiful sunrises and birdwatching over breakfast start your day before kayaking, canoeing or swimming in a sheltered bay. There are gentle breezes from the lake to keep you cool and a wood-burning stove for warmth. When the sunset begins to fade, sit around the fire pit and gaze at the many stars, meteorite showers and fireflies while accompanied by the haunting call of the loons. The cottage sleeps 4 and includes the use of a Blueair HEPA air purifier (in case any wildfire smoke comes this way), high-speed internet, a canoe, 2 kayaks and an eV charging station. The bathroom and kitchen have been remodelled and the kitchen comes equipped with a microwave, stove, fridge, espresso and regular coffeemakers, dishwasher and washing machine. The towns of Perth and Westport are nearby for rainy-day activities and there's a drive-in theatre close by. There are good cycling paths and provincial parks with walking trails nearby. The lake is great for fishing too. This cozy cottage is a lovely getaway from smoke and city noise and will leave you feeling rejuvenated by the end of your stay.

About the host
Hosted by Pam FitzGerald
From eastern Ontario, I know this region and its rich history well. Since I'm retired, I love spending more time at the lake ... as do my grown sons and their families.
Why they chose this property
It's a serene setting with glorious sunrises and a beautiful lake view! There's a woods and marsh on the other side of the street. The swimming is great and there are few boaters. There's also good fishing. So many birds flourish here including beautiful grey and blue herons, cardinals and hummingbirds with varied birdsong during the days and the haunting songs of loons that fill the nights. I often see beavers, otters, turtles, deer and occasionally a fox walking along the side of the road. The walking is nice too and there are nearby trails available in various provincial parks. In Perth and Westport, there are shops, music and good food to while away rainy days ... and there's even a drive-in cinema within a half hour. What's not to do and love about this amazing neighbourhood?
What makes this property unique
It's right on a small inlet of the lake and has a very private feel.
