We had a wonderful one-night stay at this beautiful cottage. Although it was only a brief break, it felt truly special. We especially enjoyed canoeing and spending time by the lake. We were absolutely delighted with our choice and would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable escape.

From the moment we arrived we felt completely at home. The cottage is absolutely beautiful- clean and so well equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing gateway all five nights. We especially loved the peaceful surroundings and that incredible view. We were looking for a special place to unwind and recharge and we found that there. The host is very thoughtful and kind!

Nice quiet cottage on a quiet lake

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this cute cottage on Varty Lake. It was very quiet, the lake doesn't have a lot of cottages so there were only a few boats on the lake. It was a very relaxing stay.

Amazing Cozy Getaway!

Andrey was an amazing host and was very responsive. His cottage was a great cozy getaway on a small lake, with water toys available. He was very responsive to any questions I had and provided so many great recommendations for activities and food around the area. Highly recommend staying here for anyone looking to have a nice quiet weekend away!

Great stay!

Really enjoyed staying at Andreys place. I got all the information I needed in advance, the place was very clean, and beds comfortable. The place is exactly as listed and he was quick to respond to questions. Easy check in and out as well. If you’re going to cook, I might suggest bringing some kitchen items with you. Overall was a great stay!

Great Place

Our family enjoyed our stay here. Audrey is very responsive to inquiries. We didnt do many side trips just spent time at the lake and on the property. The lake is very peaceful. Thank you for hosting us.

Great getaway!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at this tranquil cottage. My granddaughter, who is 3 yrs old, had a blast at her first time fishing off the dock. The fire at night and the beautiful starlit sky made for great evenings. We will definitely be back.

Perfect for relaxing

Andrey's place provided exactly the relaxing environment we very much needed. Beautifully quiet and incredibly calm, the cottage is right on the lake with only crickets and geese greeting you in the morning and sending you off in the evening. Fishing from the dock was also very nice and the perfect escape from city stress.

Lovely Time in quiet and beautiful place

We spent 4 days in this cottage and it was great: a quiet place with everything you need. We were able to canoe on the lake, teach our daughters how to make fire and discover 1001 islands. Our host was very kind and took pleasure in showing us the best places in the area. He was available whenever we needed him and listened to our needs. We recommend this place.

Exactly What You Want in a Cottage

We had a great stay at this cottage! It somehow manages to feel both spacious and cozy at the same time. There are plenty of sleeping areas and two full bathrooms, but it still maintains a warm, cottage feel.What stood out the most to me was the location. The lake is large and peaceful, and the surrounding area is incredibly quiet. I loved riding my bike along the mix of country and gravel roads—no traffic to worry about. I even hopped on the nearby rail trail system and biked down to Kingston and back. If you're looking for a place to unwind, explore, and enjoy nature without the crowds, this is it.
