We had a great stay at the cottage. Beautiful sunrises on the water and loved seeing the swans everyday! Sandbanks Provincial park only at 27 minute drive which was great to enjoy the beaches. Very nice stay!

Our stay at Judy’s cottage was amazing! Great location, and nice views on the lake. Was perfect for our group of 6. Has no AC, so gets pretty hot during warm summer days, but you can enjoy the lake to cool off.Would definitely go back.

Trip to Picton

The cottage was clean, comfortable and on a beautiful waterfront property. My family enjoyed swimming, kayaking and sitting by the fire. The owner was very friendly and informative. I would highly recommend the cottage and hope to go back next year.

A lovely thanksgiving weekend!

This property is very well maintained and in a beautiful setting, the outdoor seating and fire pit overlooking the lake allowed for a very tranquil and relaxing time. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, and we were easily able to cook a thanksgiving meal! The cottage is located in a very quiet and rural area, which was lovely when you’re looking to escape the city.. only a short drive to Picton for groceries, and there are nearby trails to explore. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend!

Dog friendly get away

Prince Edward County is a dog friendly community. Dogs are welcome at so many wineries and restaurants and I’m glad we found dog friendly accommodations. The cottage was great. Lots of yard for the dogs and nice neighbourhood to go for a stroll. Great fire pit and BBQ. Comfortable seating and bed. Sandbanks pass was a bonus. Walked the beach and trails for 2 days. Everything we needed was at the cottage and it was nice to meet the owner. Highly recommend.

Relaxing Stay

We stayed the last week of May 2022. The three By The Bay cottages are located on the shore of Lake Ontario in a quiet area. There is no beach but there is a dock and diving platform. (Water was too cold for swimming during our stay.) Access to groceries, restaurants, pubs/breweries, wineries, etc. is good though requiring relatively short/easy drives on county roads. The purpose of our stay was relaxation and BTB cottages delivered. Recommended.

Peacefull

From the moment we arrive until we leave, we only heard natural noise: birds and wind. It was a perfect place to recharge our batteries away from the noise pollution of cities! The chalet is perfect: clean, modern with a picture window toward the lake. If I could, this would be my perfect house.

Gorgeous setting, everything you need!

We had a 3 day getaway at By The Bay. It did not disappoint. The website was very clear and helpful in helping us plan and decide this was the place for us. Fully equipped kitchen and giant picture window overlooking the lake. Judy could not have been more friendly and helpful, greeting us upon arrival and even bringing a bottle of wine since we were celebrating my birthday. We hope to return soon!
