About this property
Cedar Cottage - one block from the lake
The perfect balance of cottage living and modern décor, and just one block in either direction to two local beach access points. Your stay includes the use of 3 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, and lifejackets. Cross the street and find yourself strolling Lakeshore Drive’s beautiful boardwalk where a 15 minute walk leads you to the park and playground, and further on to the main beach and hub of restaurants. Set up the included beach umbrella and beach towels anywhere along the way - it's almost two kilometers of waterfront! Later on play yard games, BBQ on the deck, and enjoy stories around the firepit. Inside, the open concept kitchen and living space is perfect for reconnecting with family and friends. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you need for a fantastic stay. Relax inside by the real wood fireplace before retiring to one of three cozy-comfy queen bedrooms. Two blocks away you have access to convenience stores/gas stations and restaurants.

About the host
Hosted by Denise
As locals, we are the owners, managers, cleaners and yard crew. We are close by and always available, should you need anything! Our goal is to provide guests with a clean, functional, welcoming space where they instantly relax and feel "the holiday has begun".
Why they chose this property
Why choose Cedar Cottage? First, being located in the cottage zone means you're only a short walk to the water. Whether you turn left and head towards the park and main beach area, a 5-10 minute walk, or whether you turn right and walk one short block to a smaller, more secluded beach, both options are yours. Second, the cottage itself is situated on a side street, removed from the busiest of zones. Third, did we mention the cedar? The cottage was built from beautiful, solid cedar wood bricks by Canadian Wood Brick Distributors, Ltd, 1963. We've left much of it exposed to appreciate, while tastefully updating other walls with drywall to brighten the space. Fourth, our spring renovations have brought "new and fresh" to most of the features, including new carpeting, mattresses and bedding, living room furniture, dishes and cookware, and much more! Check out our photos for this blend of organic and functional. One last feature to note is the deck that faces both south and west, offering the best of the sun throughout the day, or slide under the shade of the trees and umbrellas, if you've had enough sun. We think you'll like Cedar Cottage, as much as we do.
