Shady Nook - 2 Bedroom Cottage Forest & Lake PEI Cottages

Picture waking up each morning with the soothing sounds of nature surrounding your PEI cottage. Birds singing, squirrels scampering through the trees and the call of a mallard breaks the stillness in the cool morning air. Grab a coffee and walk down to the deck overlooking the lake and smell the freshness. Watch and listen as the still lake is interrupted by trout drawing ripples in the mirror surface.

This cottage is one of our two bedroom cottages. Both two bedroom cottages have double beds in each bedroom and a new pullout sofa in the living room. The kitchens in all the cottages are fully equipped with fridge, stove, microwave, kettle, coffee pot, Satellite TV and DVD. Dishes and cutlery.

The screened porch is a great place to sit in the fresh air. Smoking is permitted on the porch. We ask that you do not smoke in the cottages. We provide a smoke free environment in all our rooms. Cigarette smoking is allowed on the porch of the cottages with ashtrays provided. Please keep the cottage door close if smoking on the porch. We are a Cannabis free property. The use of Cannabis is prohibited anywhere on our property. Thanks for your cooperation.

You need to know
We were not impressed with the lack of kitchen supplies-no paper towels or napkins, saran wrap or tin foil, baking pans, sharp knives, large pot, left over containers, garbage bags. Hard for a family staying a week. The green box was 6"x6". We had watermelon and corn alot. box filled fast. It advertised washer & dryer but didnt inforn we need to pay for it in a seperate building. It was very hot but had to pay extra for air conditioning. The ad mentioned a couple cabins-there were 5. So close together that the pot smoke from the women on our right came into our window while she was at her bbq. (We heard her walking in her cabin)The paddle boat was full of water, debris. We had to ask for it to be cleaned to use it. The ad mentions office hours. It does not mention there will be no hosting outside those hours even if the hosts are on site. We asked the hostess at 750pm (1rst night of arrival. Our 10 yr old had been in back seat for 5 hrs) for a towel to clean the paddle boat because it was a mess but we had promised him we would do that when we got there. She was standing outside her front door, she said "no, im tired, i'll do it tomorrow. I work from 5am. Im done" she was visibly frustrated and overwhelmed. My son was disappointed and i was shocked by her unprofessional behavior. The ad said dog friendly. It doesnt say it has to stay on the floor at all times.I would not recommend for family.

Nature Haven
We enjoyed our time with Tanja and Karl ay lake and Forest. On a hot humid day, we appriciated the cool lake, even after a day at the beach. Lots to see at this end of the Island and any questions we had of our facilities were addressed quickly with Karl. We stayed in the cottage but had access to breakfast and the laundry room. solid 4.5 / 5

Come as guests, leave as friends
"Come as guests, Leave as friends" was one of the slogans on the wall at the head office of this premise. And indeed when there for our week vacation owners Tanja and Karl lived up up to that motto. They were always accommodating and I will certainly recommended this establishment to any one. We will certainly come back!

Cozy and quaint
Nice little two bedroom on the East end of PEI. Spend two nights and had a great time with interesting things to do within a short drive. Only downside are the beds are little tight for two adults.

Great little place that offers everything you need
It was a great experience. The screened in pouch was definitely beneficial because the bugs were insane.

Vacation from Heaven!
My family recently stayed in the executive cottage. We have two young children. We were looking for a cottage with some privacy, big enough for our family and close to the beach. The executive cottage exceeded our expectations. It was immaculate, new, spacious and within our price range. The private deck, Bbq, washer/dryer, full kitchen, huge master bedroom and screened porch was a bonus. It was quiet, peaceful with excess to a trail leading into a forest. We spent lots of time at the beaches as they were only five minutes away. We especially liked a beach that was shallow enough for our children to enjoy. At night we visited a nearby beach that was known for its beach glass. Sounds cliche but I wish I could give this 6 stars instead of five. Our family would seriously consider coming here again next year if we could. Andrew Stayed: August 2014, travelled with family

New Friends & great stay while returning an Island native to her family.
We where in need of a reasonable place to stay while returning our elderly neighbor & Island native to visit her family. Fortunately we found two of the finest host & individuals we have ever met. Their hospitality is only surpassed by the organization, and cleanliness of their beautiful property. Nothing is left to chance they have thought of almost every detail to make your stay a pleasant peaceful one. Cuddle Doon was well equipped clean, with linens & utensils. Country charm B&B and Forest Stream cottages are the prefect location if you want to see Kings county, PEI. Close to the main arteries of the area but peaceful and secluded. Some must see nearby locations are: Woods Island light house and Museum while there you can see the ferry dock & load, the kids can play on the play ground. If your hungry and want fresh sea food check out the Wood Islands Seafood and take out. Its on the lighthouse side of the ferry dock, next to the marina small but excellent. Panmure light house & park is another great destination, the Sandbar & Grill on Panmure Island causeway has great food too! Cape Bear light house, Newman winery, Rossignol winery & Point Prim light house are other great places to visit. Next to the the Point Prim light house is Point Prim Chowder House which has great sea food & cold local beer. . If you don't want to cook in the cabin and don't want a long drive, Harbor view restaurant is only 1.5 miles away in Murray harbor with great food & chowder, they also open for breakfast. You can have fun testing which sea food chowder ( a local specialty) you like. We liked these 4 restaurants chowders best: Wood Islands Seafood and take out, Wood Islands - Harbor view restaurant, Murray harbor - Sandbar & Grill on Panmure Island causeway and Point Prim Chowder House and Oyster Bar,.All have great chowder so its a personal preference, we tried to list them the way we ranked them, all are the best I ever had. If you need any supplies the general store in harbor view has most things, but for more serious shopping check out Montaque ~30 minutes away. If you go to Montaque don't over look the Fun on a Bun Fish & chips van parked by the bridge in the harbor parking lot. its got super food! For more information on where to go or what to do trust your host Glen & Joan they never steered us wrong! ENJOY!! Paul B Stayed: August 2016, travelled with family

Quiet solitude
The Saunders have thought of everything. Beautifully laid out cottages, well equipped and peaceful. Strong internet connection and a great value to boot! Well located on the scenic routes of Prince Edward Island. While there, the Harbourview Restaurant in Murray Harbour is a must. Kevin S Reviewed 24 August 2016

Perfect
This was so cool! We stayed here for our honeymoon and came back for our 30 anniversary! It was lovely. I didn't recognize much (it has been 30 years) but the lovely ambience was the same. Our cottage was lovely, exactly what we needed. Felt like a step back in time but with good internet LOL! As a plus one morning we had breakfast in the B&B section, it was delicious. Hosts super friendly send helpful and very knowledgable about the local area. In addition was especially pleased with the quality of the bedding. Hopefully not another 30 years before we come again Kate B Stayed: May 2017, travelled as a couple

Great Memories
My wife and I stayed at Forest and Stream Cottages several years ago, and the place still holds a special place in our heart. We live in Maine and went to the Maritimes (PEI and Nova Scotia) for a little over a week. My grandfather was from Charlottetown, PEI and her grandmother hailed from Cape Breton Island, NS, so the trip was a "back to our roots" sort of adventure. I discovered Forest and Stream on-line, and we stayed in one of the cabins for four days. The cabin was rustic, yet very comfortable. We enjoy buying local food and preparing it ourselves, and the cottage had all of the supplies and appliances that we needed. Forest and Stream is nearby a number of attractions that we enjoyed: (a) Charlottetown and the Confederation Theatre; (b) Montague; (c) Cavendish and the Anne of Green Gables Park; (d) some great provincial parks, including one with live buffalos and another dedicated to storybook characters! In addition, it is very handy to the Wood Island Ferry, which we used for the leg of our trip to Nova Scotia. The property itself is peaceful and secluded and has direct access to the Confederation Trail, which I used for my daily runs. If you asked my wife what her favorite part of the property was, it would be the man-made lake that was stocked with trout. Our property owner allowed us to use one of the rowboats to take excursions up and down this lake for evening fishing trips. We hope to return to Forest and Stream some day. I have nothing but good things to say about this place! Gary S Stayed: July 2015, travelled as a couple

I left my heart in Shady Nook
We rolled into Forest & Stream on July 1st for a 2-day stay and were greeted by the very gracious and friendly Glenn, who took the time to detail specific points according to our interests on a handy map of the east point before handing us the key to Shady Nook. What a cottage! Clean, cozy setup, beautiful surroundings, and stocked with all the appliances, dishes, and utensils that we needed for homecooked meals. Not to mention the charcoal grill and bbq located right outside our cabin. We did some travelling around to different beaches and historic sites during our stay, but we also partook in the sweet onsite offerings of bike rentals for the nearby Confederation Trail, and took the canoe and the paddle-boat scot-free for a jaunt down the forest-hugged tributary at the foot of the property. No matter what we filled our days with, our cozy, comfortable, homey Shady Nook was always a welcoming retreat at the end of them. Glenn and Joan were so very hospitable, helpful, accommodating, and friendly and we thank them for making our trip to the island so perfectly unforgettable. We will be back!
