Ready for some relaxation?

Discover the serenity of our lakeside retreat nestled within 6 acres of old growth forest land, boasting an impressive 1000 feet of shoreline. This enchanting property offers a secluded escape surrounded by natural beauty. Immerse yourself in leisurely days spent lounging on the dock, indulging in evening s'mores by the campfire, and relishing the soothing calls of loons under the starry night sky. When winter arrives, embark on adventures like cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, then cozy up by the inviting woodstove.

The property features a shallow entry point into the water made up hard packed sand and small rocks/silt/organics (think leaves from past seasons). Children will be safe to wade in and enjoy swimming and water shoes are a good idea. This is a lake front, not a typical sandy beach. Additionally, two docks extend into clean water for swimming and lounging.

For the angler in you, pursue excellent fishing with bass and rainbow trout aplenty. Explore the lake, casting your line or simply soaking in the tranquility of the surroundings.

Indoors, the cottage offers modern comforts, including two smart TVs and fast Wi-Fi, or venture down to the game area for some entertainment. You can find some outdoor games like badminton and bocce in the lower level closet as well.

The cottage itself exudes rustic charm, with pine walls and wood floors. Recent renovations have graced it with a new kitchen equipped with a dishwasher and microwave. The three bedrooms include two cozy queen beds, a double/single bunk bed, and a convenient pull-out sofa bed. The bathroom features a generous tub with a shower. For those with accessibility concerns, 1 Queen and the sofa bed are located on the lower level. The bathroom is located on the main floor along with the bunkbeds and queen bedrooms. There are about 10 stairs to climb between levels.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay here. This cottage had everything we needed and more. Jen was amazing from the start. Quick to respond to any questions we had. The beds were super comfortable and the cottage was clean and well kept. Beautiful breeze coming right off the lake when the windows are open. The views were breathtaking and the wildlife was amazing. Felt like a mini paradise. The chipmunks crawled right up our legs and sat with us as we read. And the bluejays also kept us company. Not to mention the beavers, the loons, wild turkeys and deer that kept coming around. The campfires under the dark starry sky was a great way to end the day. Even the dog loved it!! This was the perfect getaway for our family and I would recommend anyone looking for a quiet getaway, to book here. We stayed the last week of September, and the colours were beautiful. Thank you Jen for everything!

Thanks Kandie,
You and your group were a true pleasure to host! We are glad you had such a great time and experienced so much nature!! Our cottage on Wenona Lake is a special spot and it sounds like you and yours really soaked it all up and gave yourselves that reset. Please come back anytime!!

We enjoyed a week at this cottage end of July 2024 and had a blast. It was extremely private with no neighbors within sight which was great for the dogs to roam. I haven't stayed at a cottage with this much waterfront. There was so much wildlife to see and enjoy, and the fishing was awesome despite it being one of the hottest weeks of the year! We didn't catch any trout but there were plenty of small and large mouth bass! The kids had fun using the watercraft and playing in the water off the dock.

The cottage was clean with comfortable beds, and equipped with pretty much everything that we needed. Jen was a great host and answered any questions that I had! We certainly would return!

This cottage was exactly as advertised! Beautiful views, lots of space, lots of outdoor activities, animals galore (we saw a beaver, groundhog, gopher, otter, chipmunks, loons and even a marten!) Great value for your money! We spent a week here for our annual family vacation and had a blast. Jen was an amazing host and very responsive! We had an issue with the air conditioner and she had someone come out and fix it immediately (not that it was really needed with the lake wind and ceiling fans). My only recommendations would be bring an extra fan if you are sleeping in the Bunkie or the bedroom with the bunk beds... it gets very hot in there! Also, you definitely need 4 wheel drive as the road leading to the cottage is VERY bumpy (lots of potholes due to rain!). If you are venturing outside the cottage a quick stop at Agnew's General Store in Wilberforce for some Kawartha ice-cream is must!!!

We are so glad you had such a wonderful time Tracy! And that you spotted such amazing wildlife and enjpy our special spot! We also appreciate your feedback about the A/C. We hope to add a ceiling fan for the bunkie this fall and we plan to provide an A/C unit for the bunkbed room for next season.

Our end of the road did sustain some damage due to serious summer storms this year but should be fixed mid August, so next year will hopefully be a little smoother when if/when you come back :). Please do! We'd love to have you!

Our family had an amazing week! Cottage was beautiful and the fishing amazing. Cant wait to come back next year!

The cottage was perfect for our may long weekend stay?.plenty of room ?there was 4 of us but the cottage and bunkie can easily accommodate more people?.clean, well kept property. Cottage was well stocked clean and comfy. Property is private lots of trees and on the water. We loved our time here with luckily the weather being excellent too to enjoy most of our time outside.
