Water's Edge: Your Gateway to Prince Edward County
But first, A Quick Note!
From September 22 to October 16, 2025, we’ll be traveling with limited access to cellular service and Wi-Fi. In order to provide you with the attentive service and prompt communication you deserve, we’ve decided to close the calendar to new bookings during this time.
We truly appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you before or after these dates!
Experience all that Prince Edward County has to offer from the comfort of your own private retreat on the shores of Lake Ontario and Weller’s Bay.
An ideal location for groups and families, Water’s Edge offers close access to the region’s renown wineries, breweries, & festivals as well as a half acre of waterfront living space. Whether you spend the day biking through wine country, lounging on a sandy beach, hiking through a provincial park or perusing local shops, there is something for everyone! At night, enjoy spectacular sunsets, stargazing into the Milky Way, and toasting marshmallows around a campfire.
September-June: pricing for the cottage/6 people. Add the 4th bedroom and/or additional people for a fee. Ask for more details.
July - August: pricing for the entire property/10 people.
Inside, your group will enjoy an open concept kitchen, dining and living area with sweeping views of the waterfront. Log into your Netflix or Prime account, break out the board games or light a fire for everyone to enjoy.
If you are on dinner duty, not to worry, cooking in this fully equipped kitchen is a breeze with enough space to accommodate a sous chef or two! You’ll find lots of counter space, stainless steel appliances, and all the bake, cook, glass and serve-ware for large meals (including wine and beer glasses).
Trying to decide which bedroom will be yours? We make the decision easy! All bedrooms have individual climate control (aircon and heat), pillow top or memory foam beds, cotton sheets, ample pillows, soft towels, clocks with USB ports and flashlights.
Outdoors, you have a ton of options!
If you are heading to a provincial park for the day, don’t forget to grab the park pass* on the fridge and a few beach towels, blankets, and camp chairs (included).
Going sightseeing? Make sure to take a look at our selection of guide books and maps – need a suggestion? Just ask! We love to give recommendations.
Kayaking your scene? Grab a life jacket and head out! You’ll find 10 life jackets of various sizes as well as 4 adult kayaks (as of 2026), 2 kids kayaks, 2 stand up paddle boards and 1 paddleboat.
Prefer a low key day around the cottage? Choose from a selection of lawn games, fire up the BBQ (propane included), pop up the sun shade and set out a lounger. Fish off of the waterfront sitting area or take a dip in the water. Right in-front of the cottage, the water is about 2-3 feet deep and then gets gradually deeper.
At dusk, get that firepit going so you can be prepared to watch a stunning sunset and stargaze -keep an eye out for satellites as they streak across the sky.

About the host
Hosted by Perspective Properties

We are Aubrae and Peter Wilson and we're excited to welcome you to our cottage and your home away from home!
The cottage has been in the family since the 1920's (although it looked a lot different back then!) and has been both a home and vacation spot throughout the years. We took ownership in 2018 and completely reno'd the space so that we could provide our guests a place to make great memories, just like our family has!
