About this property

Charming Waterfront Summer Cottage on Bay of Quinte (*NEW DOCKS*)

  • This summer waterfront cottage is perfect for small families, couples or groups looking for deck and dock-lounging, with killer sunsets.

    **NEW 50-FOOT DOCK, complete with sitting area and swim ladder. And FLOATING DOCK and swim platform some 50-feet out.**

    **NEW PADDLE BOARDS option (waivers required).**

    **5-NIGHT MIN in July/August only. Reach out for shorter stays off-peak season.**

    The cottage is located on Big Island, facing north on the Bay of Quinte, with a longish, rolling property, 20 minutes from Picton, 30 minutes from Sandbanks and virtually everything else the county has to offer.

    Enjoy beaching, wineries and artisanal ‘stuff’ by day, and board games, waterfront fires and sunsets certain to jack up your Instagram-cred by night.

    This is a 2-bedroom (1 queen/2 twins), 1 bath (standing shower only) with a pullout couch in the living room to sleep 4 comfortably and 6 cozily.

    WiFi, wood-stove if it gets cold, TV with DVD player (incl. early 2000s DVD collection), stereo with smartphone hook-up, and board game selection.

    Kitchen comes stocked with vintage dishware to complement the vintage avocado cupboards. Standard appliances (incl. microwave, but no dishwasher or washer/dryer). BBQ on deck.

    Linens, towels and basic sundries (TP, Kleenex, paper towels, dish/hand soap) provided.

    Adventurous swimmers will be happy here (i.e., okay with rock shore, underwater weeds etc.). If you want sand and crystal clear water, you will prefer swimming at Sandbanks 30 minutes away.

    The Bay of Quinte is a fisher’s paradise, so if that’s your thing, you’ve come to the right place. Baycrest Lodge and Marina is a 2-minute drive down the road if you want to launch and/or dock a boat during your stay.

    Tap water is safe and drinkable.

    Friendly neighbours on either side. Be sure to say hello during your [minimum] 5-day stay!

Weather was cool during our fall stay so we really appreciated the nice, warm duvets for sleeping. Great water view. Lovely deck, dock and screened in porch. Would love to stay again during summer to take advantage of the water activities.

Great Cottage in PEC

A wonderful classic cottage in PEC. Had all the amenities that you'd want at a cottage. Reasonably close to Picton - great spot to enjoy the water and summer weather and explore the county.

Relaxing getaway

Great stay in cute Demorestville. Really great waterfront for pups and humans (although bring water shoes :)). Awesome new deck as well. Close to Picton (20 min drive) but far enough away you still feel like your in the middle of the country.

Excellent base to explore PEC

Great, well maintained cottage on a quiet road on the Big Island. Easily accessible to all the PEC has to offer. The front covered porch is so useful if you happen to get rainy weather as we did. We loved the big, well maintained backyard and sunsets. Highly recommend.

Classic Cottage

Classic cottage fully equipped with everything you'd need for a great cottage experience. We ended up never going to Sandbanks, and just swam off the dock. Great location for visiting local wineries, dining and Picton for shopping. thanks for a lovely stay in your charming cottage. The Watson

Restful country cottage

The property is well situated with a lovely lawn stretching down to the water. Nice views from lakeside chairs and from the large deck. Waterfront is limited in size , but swimming is ok with a shelving stony bottom. Need water shoes. The cottage itself is superbly clean and well stocked with cooking utensils. dining and drinking ware, etc. Beds were very comfortable. The cottage can be opened up to take advantage of the through breezes from the lake. Walking on the surrounding roads is pleasant. All in all, we enjoyed our stay (despite several rainy days). There are lots of games available to play.

What an exceptional little cottage for spending time in PEC. Perfectly situated on the water with tonnes of personal touches and charm. Phil was also very communicative to ensure we were well taken care of, and an extra bonus for us = dog friendly. We'll be back!

Amazing stay, kids had lots of space to play on the property. Very quiet and peaceful views of the bay and the sun. Nice to have a floating deck to rest away from shore. Water isn’t very clear but there are other spots in the region to see different kind of beaches. Phil was great host, checking in on a regular basis making sure we were all set. Merci!
