Charleston Lakeside Retreat is a boutique “resort” that was originally built as a church camp in the early 1900’s. It consists of 5 rental cabins, owner home, seasonal boat slips and a small boutique.
Spread out over 2 acres on a peninsula, the property offers plenty of opportunity for a restful vacation. The cabins are situated in a "U" shape in groupings of two with a large shared lawn and spectacular lake views. The property is music free to ensure all guests can enjoy a restful vacation and enjoy the beautiful sounds of nature.
We have docks on either side of the peninsula. One side offers incredible views with dockage for your own boat. The other side offers deep swimming and seasonal boat slips.
Our guests enjoy shared use of kayaks, and SUPs (stand up paddle boards) during their stay. Fishermen are welcome to enjoy our fishing kayak.
Boat/trailer parking is available for guests with their own boats pending availability. Please contact us prior to booking to confirm availability as dock space is limited.
Linens are provided. Guests are asked to bring their own towels and to leave the cabin neat and tidy upon departure. If you are unable to bring your own towels, they are available for rent.

Thank you once again Colin and Angela. My family enjoyed our second stay at Charleston Lake. It's all about the fire pit!! Great property. Great cabin. We will be back.
Angela and Colin were great hosts. Bass fishing was amazing. Great atmosphere and very relaxing.
Thank you both for an amazing week!!
The Mirons and family.
The cabin was cozy and clean and perfect for our family Thanksgiving weekend.
Hosts were fantastic for a great stay. Everything we needed was there. We all enjoyed the fishing and the fire pit and the Lansdowne community was very welcoming. Charleston Lake was easy to find. General store across the street. All of the family enjoyed the location and being outdoors.
Thank you Angela and Colin.
We will come again.
