Now booking for 2025, and booking up fast! *please note that we book Sunday-Sunday for week-long rentals during Summer months (more flexibility during other seasons). Welcome to the Fabulous Flamingo, our little slice of paradise on Widow Lake offering four seasons of relaxation and outdoor enjoyment. Located on the west shore of Widow Lake, the head lake of the Clyde River system in the beautiful Lanark Highlands County, our cottage will provide you with the perfect getaway. The cottage exudes a rustic charm while being fully equipped with modern conveniences - full bathroom, full kitchen (including dishwasher), laundry/ mudroom, central heating. There's also a wood stove ideal for those cooler evenings and snowy winter nights; you can curl up with a book, watch a DVD or simply enjoy the ambient warmth while gazing at the stars, unobstructed by any street lights or buildings. The deck, equipped with propane BBQ, offers stunning views of the lake. There are three bedrooms with two double beds and a day bed that pulls out into a king bed.
The property offers incredible panoramic views of the lake and complete privacy with no nearby neighbours and only 13 total dwellings on the lake. The lake also offers great fishing, with large-mouth bass and pike in abundance. There are two separate docks, one for kayaks/canoes and one perfect for diving off and swimming. The fire pit overlooks the lake and provides outdoor enjoyment all day long. Other than the occasional morning fisherman floating by you'll find that you have the whole lake almost entirely to yourself!
We are the last property on a maintained section of the K&P Trail which offers a rare combination of year-round access to the property as well as immediate access to a beautiful trail through the woods to enjoy walking, hiking and snowshoeing. There is also plenty to explore in the surrounding area including Calabogie (~35 minutes away), Almonte, Perth and Carleton Place (~45 minutes away). A short hike will also take you to the base of Blueberry Mountain, which offers picturesque views of the region from the top, and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
Whether you're looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation just to unplug and get away, a fun filled lake adventure, a chance to connect with the woods, a home base to explore all the picturesque towns in the Lanark Highlands, your stay at the Flamingo will be nothing short of Fabulous.
We look forward to hosting you soon!

| We were four adults in the cottage and we had a great time. The cottage is open and clean and the owners have obviously taken the time to make sure it is comfortable and feels like home. Cottage is open concept with spectacular views of the lake. Lots of board games and DVDs available to use, kitchen is impressively well stocked. The deck is new and large and we had lovely meals there. The deck has a gate which is great if you have children. The firepit was fun for making s'mores. We enjoyed using the kayaks and peddle boat and jumping off the dock. The lake is very quiet and clean with few other cottages close by. The K&P trail is great for hiking, ATVing, snowmobiling in winter. Overall one of the best cottage experiences we've had. Thank you to our hosts for making it so comfortable for us!

| We had the best time at this cottage. We were there for a family get together after being apart so long due to Covid19 and you could tell the owners had gone above and beyond with cleaning so you just felt safe like you were at home. The cottage itself was very comfortable and spacious enough for all of us. The big beautiful deck makes sitting outside with your coffee in the morning looking out over the quiet lake so relaxing. The swimming off the dock is awesome and the owners have made water activities easy with the peddle boat and kayaks. With all the modern conviences in this cottage, ( dishwasher, washer and dryer, etc) it allowed more time for family fun , like watching a DVD or playing board games. All in all it was the best vacation at a wonderfully relaxing place. Can't wait to go back.

| My husband and I just got back from our fabulous stay at this cottage with our 1.5 year old toddler. The grounds of this cottage are extensive with breathtaking views of the peaceful lake all around you. The premise is very quiet, offering a relaxing stay. The cottage itself is open-concept, super clean, has comfortable beds, and its kitchen is extensively stocked. The owners had just built a brand new deck off the side/back of the cottage overlooking the water. We were one of the first guests to take advantage of this amazing space. The deck is extremely spacious and has an optional closing gate that can block the stairs. This detail was perfect for our toddler, giving him a nice place to play without us having to worry about the stairs. The owners had also just moved and re-built the fire pit closer to the cottage, a perfect new location that would encompass other guests enjoying the deck and main outdoor space. While we were there, we saw a group of cyclists taking advantage of the KP trail which this cottage is adjacent to. This would also be a perfect location for 4-wheeling activities. We are very much looking forward to another stay here so we can continue to enjoy this space and all that this gem has to offer!

| Only wonderful things to say about our stay here! The cottage is so spacious and clean, you can tell that the owners love and take great care of it! We absolutely loved the water! It's located on a beautiful, clean and secluded lake. It was great to jump off the docK to cool off when it was warm! We were even adventurous enough to take the kayaks for a spin, it was so much fun! Definitely looking forward to coming back!

| I had an amazing time at this cottage! It was beautifully located right on the water with a spacious dock that is excellent for jumping off of or just to lay down on and enjoy the sun. The water is beautiful with minimal vegetation, which makes for excellent swimming! There aren't many other properties around, which makes this a good way to escape to nature. The cottage is also adjacent to a nice walking trail through the woods, and has a great spot for a campfire and has kayaks to use! It was a great experience, and would be an amazing get-away from a group or friends or a family.
