Whimsical Waterside Cottage

This charming cottage, nestled in the tranquil setting of Leggat Lake in Sharbot Lake, Ontario, offers a perfect blend of traditional comfort and modern convenience. Boasting three bedrooms and one bathroom, it provides ample space for up to six guests to enjoy a relaxing retreat. Situated in Eastern Ontario, it offers an easy drive from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), making it accessible for weekend getaways or extended vacations. When you first pull up to the cottage, you will notice the fence along the property edge, while you’re welcome to pull forward to unload, we recommend parking beside the cottage, on the opposite side of the fence to not impede on the stunning views of Leggat Lake from the cottage.

The cottage features modern amenities and finishes, ensuring a comfortable stay for guests. The cozy interior is complemented by a big grassy lawn, ideal for outdoor activities and lawn games. In this same area you will find a picnic table beside the firepit, which is a quick step outside the cottage door and off the deck. Speaking of deck, on the deck, outside the front door, you will find a gazebo with a comfortable outdoor dining set with seating for everyone! BBQ to your hearts content while you gaze upon Leggat Lake.

With its shallow, walk-in waterfront, this property is especially suitable for families with children, non-swimmers, and pets. A waterfront dock adds to the charm, providing a perfect spot for relaxation by the water's edge.

Additionally, this pet-friendly accommodation welcomes one dog, allowing guests to bring along their furry companions to enjoy the traditional cottage vacation experience.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful lakeside retreat or a fun-filled family getaway, this cottage offers the perfect setting for a memorable vacation in spring, summer or fall.
