*New for 2026! We are pleased to announce that we are offering check-in and check-out times at 3 pm. You work hard for your escapes and you deserve the full 24 hours for every day that you stay with us!* Escape to a serene lakeside retreat just a short drive from Toronto. For a limited time, we're offering our stunning cottage, where tranquility and nature await. Wake up to breathtaking, uninterrupted lake views, and immerse yourself in the peaceful beauty of nearby conservation trails. Enjoy quiet walks, or indulge in birdwatching and deer sightings right outside your door. In winter, cozy up by the fire with loved ones, relishing in a much-needed escape from the everyday hustle. Come summer, take advantage of your private beach for swimming, sunbathing, and exploring. Year-round, fire up the BBQ and savour your favourite meals in the fully-equipped kitchen, making every meal an occasion. Don't miss out on this perfect getaway—your retreat from it all is waiting! More Details: The Area - Located in Whitby, Ontario, the property is the very last cottage on South Thickson Road with immediate full views of Lake Ontario from the moment you drive into the large horseshoe driveway. The property is situated on half an acre with ample parking. There are numerous opportunities for walking trails from the coastline to Thickson Woods. Bring your camera as birdwatching is a popular hobby here. There are plenty of grounds for kids to play. If you need something, just ask - if we have it, you can have it. Be aware that although we try our best to keep poison ivy at bay, we may occasionally miss some. Please supervise children and treat wildlife with the distant respect they deserve.
The Beach - The beach is a beautiful, slow 5 minute walk from the cottage on a gravel road, Crystal Beach Blvd. We recommend using a wagon to get to the beach as you cannot park your car there. There is absolutely no parking near the beach. As a private beach, it is rustic and rocky - perfect for exploring. On windy days, avoid. The lake gets rough and there are no lifeguard facilities.
The Cottage - The house is spacious, modern and pristine. We aim to provide an escape that is near perfect and as little work as possible. There are 2 bedrooms in the basement and a full bathroom. You can see the lake from the East bedroom. They are comfortable, clean and luxurious. The mattress in the East bedroom is softer than the one with the bunk beds. Linens are 100% cotton and luxurious for a good night's sleep. There is one 'weird' bedroom on the main floor that is a favourite of our guests. Once an accessible room, we've made it wonderfully comfortable for guests who want to avoid staircases or just love falling out of bed and falling into the shower. The living room is hugely spacious as is the kitchen. We have two dining tables and a covered porch for days where you just want to enjoy the view bug free.
Linens - Towels, hand towels and wash cloths are provided. Please do not wash the linens.
Garbage - If you live in Ontario and can help us out by taking your garbage with you, we would be grateful. For our guests who are flying in to Canada, we take care of things.
Access - The code for the property is sent on the day of arrival.

| We very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage, conveniently located in the town of Whitby and only 20 minutes away from relatives we were visiting. The water was exceptionally clean, and the shoreline sandy and abundant with beautiful granite beach rocks.
The cottage was comfortable, well maintained, and the recent renovations were a lovely touch. We especially enjoyed the spacious yard and screened-in porch where we spent most of our time playing games.
All of the appliances worked perfectly, and we experienced no issues during our stay. Sherrie-Lee graciously welcomed us with delicious coffee, cookies, and a thoughtful card. She also provided directions to a local pub within walking distance, but unfortunately, we ran out of time to visit.
We hope to return in the future to check out the pub and explore some of the nearby hiking trails. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we would happily visit again.

| What a lovely cottage!! From the living room windows the views of the lake were spectacular.
Fully equipped with every appliance and cooking utensils. Our hostess blessed us with a beautiful Easter floral bouquet and some wonderful gourmet coffee. She made every effort to be in touch and ensure all of our needs were met. Would highly recommend this cottage rental!!
Thank you Sherrie.
