Surrounded by the Charleston Lake Provincial Park, Sheep Island harbors two beautiful summer homes for families of up to 20 members. Explore Twenty hectares of mature forest and diverse ecosystem around the private island. On the shore, dip your toes in the water by the beach, swim to the raft, and tan on the dock. Grab a canoe, kayak, or paddleboard and explore.
What some of our past guests thought about their experience on Sheep Island:
"Excellent family cottage. Lots of room to spread out. Comfortably slept all 10 of us. Beautiful island on beautiful lake. Enjoyed walking the trails. Wonderful huge sunny dock. Owner very responsive to questions. Highly recommend."
- Cathy
"This home is a treasure -- has everything you need including five bathrooms, pool table, lots of leisure space and spacious outdoors. Benjamin was amazing getting nine of us to and from shore. This was a family reunion and it could not have been any better. The fact the home is on an island made it perfect for long walks and meals together. We caught our own fish dinner. Perfect experience. Merci."
- Irwin
"Our stay at Benjamin?s private island cottage on Charleston Lake was fantastic! The island was stunning, and the provided water activities equipment was a great bonus. We loved exploring the lake, swimming, and enjoying cozy fires each night. Benjamin?s hospitality made our family getaway truly memorable. Highly recommend!"

"If you like hiking there was plenty of trails. Fishing and swimming off the dock was perfect. The view of the sky in the morning and night where just beautiful! The house is very spacious and well kept."

On the island, you can walk around the forest on a trail that nears the water, climbs up a cliff, and crosses many coves. After a hike around the island, you can head down to the large dock in front of the house for a swim. With a thirty-foot swim, you can reach the floating raft or use the Tarzan rope to get in the water. Behind the dock, there is a small beach next to a large white boathouse. You can grab a canoe, kayak, rowboat, or paddleboard from there and explore the lake.
From the main dock, a set of wooden stairs leads up to the house. In front of the cottage, you will see a fire pit surrounded by white chairs and a hammock. This is where the marshmallows are usually roasted. You can enter the house by the large screened-in porch that surrounds the house. There is a large table on the veranda where you can have outdoor sunset suppers while being away from the mosquitoes. On the other side, you will find couches and low tables that are perfect for a morning breakfast with the sunrise.
Entering through the front door, you will find a large stone fireplace surrounding the three main areas. The first one is an office with bookshelves and a place to sit down and work. An entryway leads to the living room, where you will see a low table surrounded by leather couches where board game night can take place. Right behind the couch, you can take part in a game of pool on the full-sized snooker table. Another entryway leads to the dining table where you can have dinners and suppers when the weather forces you indoors.
From the dining room, you can take the stairs up to the bedrooms. The first bedroom out of the staircase has a small desk with a queen bed, as well as a view of the
forest. On the other side of the hallway, a smaller bedroom with a queen bed has a view of the lake. Next to it is the master's bedroom with a queen bed and a private balcony with a view of the lake. In front of the master's is the first bathroom. It contains a ceramic shower as well as a heated floor. A fourth bedroom enjoys a queen bed and a semi-private bathroom. The fifth room has five single beds and has access to the semi-private bathroom.
Back down to the first floor at the other end of the house, you will find the kitchen. A large wooden island separates a table from the cooking area. You will find everything that you need to cook for the whole group, as it is equipped with fridges, an oven, a dishwasher, dry food storage, and all the equipment in a conventional kitchen. You can also use the barbecue on a wooden porch right outside the kitchen.
In front of the cottage, there is a field of grass where you can play different sports. You will find soccer, football, and rugby balls as well as golf clubs and different outdoor games on the veranda.
If you're looking to explore the Charleston Lake Provincial Park, you can ask for more details from your host. There is a multitude of camping, canoeing, and hiking options around the whole lake.
