We had a wonderful stay at the cottage for our annual family Thanksgiving trip to Picton. The cottage was very clean and well stocked. The view was amazing, only wish the weather had allowed us to take advantage of the outside amenities.
Judy and her husband were very quick and reactive to our needs.

Very good
This property was great. It had everything I expected and was exactly as I thought it would be. I would recommend this property to others and I would stay here again.
Our hosts were lovely. Very responsive and warm. The cottage was extremely clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. There was tons of wildlife around - fireflies, beavers, otters., swans and rabbits! The water was shallow and refreshing . I highly recommend!

Many thanks, Judy
My family and I had a wonderful stay. The location was great, the cottage was great and the weather was great - we could not ask for anything more!! The waterfront was beautiful and we enjoyed watching the sunrise over it each morning. The cottage was well organized and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The host, Judy, was excellent- very responsive and incredibly accommodating! I highly recommend.

Different from what we were expecting
I think 3 stars perfectly rates the property. The lake view is beautiful! If the weather was nicer we would have totally taken advantage. The space was pretty cozy (800ish sqft) and was decorated nice giving old cottage feel. If you’re looking to go do wineries or explore picton/wellington, expect a 30minute drive.When we arrived we noticed many (MANY) ants and ladybusy in the property. We felt like we were killing bugs every 3 minutes. In addition some of the dishes looked like they weren’t clean, with some leftover food marks and coffee stains. It only took washing with soap to get it off so probably should’ve been cleaned before we arrived.The property also didn’t supply towels and sheets, and you need to bring your own drinking water. Some of this info is on the listing, some is not.Overall I think it comes down to feeling like we paid too much for what we received.
Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour ! La vue est à couper le souffle, encore plus belle que sur les photos. Les propriétaires sont très attentionnés et veillent à ce que tout se passe bien. Un lieu idéal pour se détendre et profiter pleinement
Very nice place, it is a chalet perfectly located. We had problems with running water but it was fixed fast. Weather was so so but we were able to do a 45 km bike ride up to Long Point along side the water edge!! Very nice!!
Le cottage est directement au bord de l'eau et on y trouve tout le nécessaire pour un séjour agréable. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le rond de feu près de l'eau. Judy et Jim ont été des hôtes merveilleux et sont très rapidement venus répondre à nos besoins quand nous avons eu une difficulté.

Beautifully decorated, newly renovated cottage right on the water. Three good sized bedrooms with brand new beds, nice furnishings in the living room, spacious deck out back and the lake right at your feet in the backyard. Quiet location, an absolutely perfect spot for a getaway. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful area - perfect retreat.
The stay at By the Bay cottages was very relaxing. Judy was a wonderful host! The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. The PEC area was affected by some flooding this spring and she made sure this did not affect our vacation at all. She gave us plenty of tips as to what we could do in the area that would be fun for our two year old. We really loved all the nature, in the morning swans swim by while your having breakfast at night there’s a symphony on sounds and your surrounded by fireflies. We even got to swim in the lake, the water was a little chilly but super refreshing and clean. We wore water shoes because the bottom has a bit of weeds and leaves.
The only thing I would recommend for the cottage in the future is to upgrade the beds as we found them to be quite old and uncomfortable.

For twenty years our family has wanted to give our customers the unique " Canadian" experience of vacationing on waterfront in Prince Edward County. We are proud to say that many of our customers return to us each year to enjoy this little bit of paradise.
Why they chose this property
This property is quiet, unique,... and a wee bit off the beaten track, in the south east side of "The County", on Smith's Bay. We offer 3-3 bedroom cottages on over 300' of waterfront property. Each cottage is separated by trees and hedges for utmost privacy. A wonderful escape for families and couples alike.
