About this property

Cottage-near Algonquin Park

Come enjoy this cottage retreat set on nearly an acre of birch and pine forest, only 20 minutes away from Algonquin Park. Located on a very private bay of Lake St Peter, with beautiful sunsets enjoyed from the western exposure of the cottage. Lake St Peter has a Provincial Park on the lake, an easy canoe ride away from the cottage. There is 200 feet of waterfront with a sandy beach, large dock, swim raft and several decks. When you are tired of the water, the property also has a large deck across the front and along the side of the cottage where you can enjoy the view of the lake. If you have kids, they can enjoy a swing set, an open area for sports, fire pit and a tree fort. The cottage is situated on a very private hilltop, with a newly built stairway to the waterfront and is a safe distance away from any busy roads or noise.

Inside, there is a recently renovated kitchen and 3 piece bathroom. Enjoy your meals in the comfort of a large screened-in porch with a fantastic view of the lake. The harvest table in the screened-in porch will easily accommodate 6 people for meals. Sleep soundly in the first room that has a Queen sized bed, the second room with the Double/Single Bunk bed, or the third bedroom which has a Single bunk bed. The living room has a wonderful fireplace and a pull-out couch for guests. This cottage also comes with a portable crib and bed rail for children.

Cottage is located about 3 minutes from the village of Lake St Peter where there are restaurants and a variety store. Cottage comes with games, books, TV and a DVD player (for movies only) for rainy days, or take a trip to the Algonquin Park visitors centre or logging museum, only a 20 minute drive away.

A perfect place to relax, unwind and cast aside the stress of everyday life, by listening to the loons at night or going on an early morning paddle on the lake.

Summer dates now available starting in June.

Peaceful stay
We, grandparents, children and grandchild enjoyed our stay. Beautiful property on quiet small lake. Lots of toys and activities for the 3 yr old. Back living room and screened in dining porch were thoroughly enjoyed. Fireplace was so welcome on those chilly September mornings. Kitchen small but functional. Only negatives would be cabin was not very clean. And the 64 steps down to the water was a bit daunting for us seniors and our 3 yr old. Regardless we made great memories and had a restful stay. Thank you for opening up your property to us!

More than expected
Had such a great time with the family! Cottage was equipped with way more than expected. I had brought some of my sons toys with us but it definitely was not needed. Soo many things for kids to do and super relaxing for the adults. Highly recommend, especially for families!

Our favourite summer getaway
This was our 6th visit to the cottage on Lake St. Peter, which should express how much we enjoy our time there. The cottage is well appointed, the water amazing, the dock/swimming dock perfect for diving and cannonball competitions, and every watercraft you might want to use or try. The hosts are clear, friendly, and communicative, and I heartily recommend this property.

Perfect cottage getaway
We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage. It really had everything we needed plus more. The lake was quiet and clean, really great for swimming and kayaking. Not much luck fishing but I’m sure there were other good spots close by. The screened in porch was perfect for meals and games nights, we really enjoyed that. Bancroft is a short drive away for groceries and there are lots of cool antique shops between there and maynooth. We also visited the Algonquin park logging museum and Egan chutes (amazing waterfalls), and enjoyed both. Overall we found our stay to be very enjoyable and relaxing, a great family experience!

Quaint getaway
The cottage and property are very nice, it is very quiet and private. The water is beautiful. The only downside is the amount of stairs to get to it. We had a lovely time.

Beautiful Cottage on Quiet Bay
We rented this cottage in the fall with my family and had a great time. The cottage is well-kept with everything you need, even for rainy days, with a huge selection of games and dvds. The real beauty of this place is the location on a quiet bay on Lake St. Peter. Even on windy days, the bay was calm. The lakeside living room has windows all around and the screen room gives you great views and a bug-free outdoor experience in any weather. No problems with internet or cell reception and the Byers were also quick to respond to any questions we had.

Perfect cottage week for our family
Excellent swimming, right off the dock; we also enjoyed the raft. Lake is a great size for canoe exploration with young kids. For rainy days, the cottage had a huge selection of games, puzzles, books and DVDs, for adults and kids alike. Cottage was perfect balance of comfortable and rustic for us. Spent lots of evening time in the screened-in porch and windowed living room; loved the way these rooms felt integrated with the outside world. Scooped Moose ice cream, provincial park with a great beach, and a well-stocked general store each just a few minutes away. Great communication from host.

Beautiful cottage with lake view
We went for my daughter’s birthday and had a lovely time at this cottage. It has the charm of a traditional cottage with all the comfort, and lots of windows to watch the surrounding nature, The lake is just a few steps down and a wonderful place to relax, swim or paddle boat.

amazing, as usual
This was our 4th time here. As always it was absolutely amazing vacation. The cottage, the waterfront, the kids toys and books, tree house, swing set are all perfect for our family. Could do without the deer flies, but its the only downside about this area.

Great place!
The property is very out of the way which is great for discovering the Canadian outdoors with access to the lake. A quick heads-up for international travellers, you need to take bedlinen and bath towels.

Cottage Review
Great cottage feel, clean and has everything you need with a lot of space for a small family. Swiming was good-dear/horse flies not so much being early in the season. Nevertheless, easy to make it a relaxing time away. No stress. Darren is a great host. :)

Fabulous location, lovely and clean cottage
We had a lovely time in this cottage! It’s neat, clean and well supplied with utensils and games. It lies beautifully beteren the trees and the terrace on the way to the lake is stunning. The bay is considerably private, but not too lonely. We would recommend, especially for families, but also as a getaway for a couple.

Amazing family cottage in a convenient location
We are avid visitors to Algonquin Park and so we wanted our family cottage experience to reflect that. We chose this cabin both for it's proximity to the Park and for its range of amenities geared to families. The cottage was ideally situated for us, making it an easy drive from the Belleville/PEC area. The inside of the cottage wasn't too fancy - I know people like fancy, but when it comes to cottages we prefer older and simple. There was a good amount of space to cook, hang-out, and sleep. We had a couple of cooler days and a bit of rain, and the cottage held us, our games, crafts, snacks, and so forth without issue. The kitchen was well-appointed and easy to cook/clean. The TV/DVD player was fine for our limited usage. The bathroom was superior and had been renovated. The new addition just completed this summer is a wonderful room, and really makes the cottage spacious without losing its charm. The outside patio was great for meals on sunny days. Our kids were perpetually entertained with the toys and books that were available, as well as the play structure, the nice lawn for running, and the treehouse. The kids really adored it. The lake is excellent for swimming either from shore or off the dock. There are a good canoe and kayak, and we used those a lot. Our only reservation was the amount of boat traffic on the lake relative to its size. We canoe in parks, so we found that jarring a few times, but it didn't really impact our pleasure, and the kids thought it was cool to see boats pulling other kids at high speeds. The hosts are great, they really have thought of everything, and they are really receptive to questions. Overall our experience was nearly perfect, and it will go down as one of our best family holidays.

Perfect for a family vacation!
Our family of four stayed here for one week in late August and had a wonderful time! We have two young kids (ages 7 and 3), and there was so much to do here, they were always busy, even on the last few days of our trip when the weather got a little too chilly for swimming. They loved the large front lawn/play area, and all the games and toys inside too. My favourite spot was the dining room with the large windows. It was so incredibly peaceful and we enjoyed all of our meals there. We wanted to find a place that was close to Algonquin park so we could visit for a day, and loved that this cottage was only about 20 minutes away. If you stay, I highly recommend the trip to Algonquin - the drive alone was breathtaking. Darren was also very helpful and answered any questions I had. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cottage, especially for young families.

A Parent's Haven!
So many places to relax and still have excellent visibility to our children playing. Loads of games, blocks and books to keep them busy inside. The property was quiet and private and the beach was clean and made for easy swimming. Loved the proximity to Algonquin Park's east gate and we were able to enjoy a day there as well. Thank you Byers family!

Lovely, Private Spot
We had a fantastic time at the cottage. It was quiet, private, and exactly as advertised. We didn't have the best weather, so it was really nice to be able to spend time on the covered porch when we couldn't get outside. Overall, a very nice week.
