About this property
Wine country cottage - The Gatehouse
Welcome to The Gatehouse, our family cottage since 1970 - that grew! It is a large 4 bedroom vintage/rustic cottage that offers three bedrooms on the upper floor, and the largest bedroom on the main floor. The living room and dining room features a cozy gas fireplace with 20 ft ceilings. Three wineries are within easy walking distance. Relax on the large deck facing a huge yard with a view of the lake in the distance. The public beach and harbour are a 10-15 minute walk and it is a short stroll to a country diner located in quaint Colchester Village, in Ontario Canada. There are designated bike paths on road side for those seeking exercise. We are a year-round cottage and invite you to stay in all seasons.
