Gorgeous and secluded lakefront property on the south end of Knowlton Lake. Perfect lake for swimming, canoeing, kayaking and fishing in summer and ice skating, ice fishing and XC skiing in winter. Large lake side dock for easy swimming and canoeing/ kayaking access and for relaxing lakeside in the sun. A shallow area on the shore side of the dock is great for kids (and there is a lovely sandy beach just 15 mins drive away at Gould Lake). Enjoy a large cottage-side deck for those long lazy summer afternoons and evenings, adjacent BBQ and a fabulous screened-in porch with dining table.
(Please note: during the main season - Friday before 15 June to Friday before 15 October, we only take bookings of 1 week or more -- Friday to Friday.)
Knowlton Lake is a lovely clear, spring-fed lake with very little weed - great for swimmers. It is also an excellent fishing Lake (trout, bass, etc) and the cottage is less than 1 km from the public boat launch. Available for use at the cottage is a Grumman canoe and Clear Water kayak and we have a range of different sized life vests for use.
The Cottage living areas are spacious and it has four bedrooms - one queen bed in a large primary bedroom (plus a single mattress for an extra child), double and single beds in one other bedroom, a double bed in the second upstairs bedroom, and a queen in the Bunkie. There is one main bathroom with a large bath and separate shower and the primary bedroom has its own powder room. Two sitting areas (one with a gas fire and the other with a wood stove), forced air water sourced heat pump heating or cooling, fully equipped kitchen and home theater with Bell fibe internet make this the perfect cottage for resting and relaxing in either summer or winter.

Note: The Cottage of Contentment is situated on the south end of Knowlton Lake. Surrounded by a small forest, you can make a short paddle across the lake (5-10 mins) and be on the Rideau Trail. The cottage is secluded and beautiful yet only 10 minutes to Sydenham or 40 minutes into Kingston. Also it's a 15 minute drive to Gould Lake and 20 minutes to Frontenac Park.

| This cottage is so lovely from all the space inside, to the screened in porch with amazing views to the dock where we spent every afternoon. The lake is clear and beautiful for swimming. We kayaked the whole lake and dreamed of owning our own piece of paradise. The family of loons with their little loonlets (our new word this week) were the cherry on top.

| A really interesting cottage with a beautiful and quiet location. Very well equipped and clean. Close to two provincial parks, one that offers a sandy beach for swimming and trails for hiking, the other offering many options for hiking. Owners provide lots of helpful information. The cottage is well named.

| Thank you so much for the wonderful weekend! From the moment we began the drive down your beautiful leaf covered lane I knew that this was the place for us. The cottage is so cozy and offers every convenience of home. We fell in love with the location on hill and the views from virtually every window! Although it was cooler, we all enjoyed being on the water and exploring the lake. We started each day with morning coffee in the hot tub and enjoyed a final dip in the evening before bed. When we weren't on the water our family enjoyed games around the table and family movie nights on the big screen!
