This quaint lakeside studio cottage is a quiet retreat from the noise, the hustle and bustle and the stress of city life. Relax amid the sounds of nature, quiet breezes and the call of the loons.

The Lakeside Cottage has everything you need to escape your troubles and take time for yourself. Situated on North Lake just minutes from the world famous Skookumchuck Rapids, this cozy studio cottage is ideal for two people.

The open plan eating area, living room, and queen Murphy bed have a spectacular view of the lake and make for an excellent location to enjoy a meal, read a book, or sleep in comfort.

New in 2024 : High speed internet, cell coverage and fibre optic T.V. now available in The Cottage

You can also spend some time on the porch and private deck, both with comfortable patio furniture and enjoy the sounds of the awakening the surrounding forest.

Or bring your fishing gear and while away the day on the lake casting for trout. Life's troubles will evaporate as the fresh air will help rejuvenate you during your getaway.

The Lakeside Cottage is also great as a monthly winter escape as it's just 2 hours from Vancouver. Outdoor activities abound like hiking the trails or mountain biking.

For those with an adventurous spirit whitewater kayaking is close by at the Skookumchuck Rapids.

The Lakeside Cottage, a great little getaway!

Close to lovely swimming and paddling lakes.

It is more old than rustic as the appliances etc are modern. Somewhat settled hence slightly wonky floors, not a problem though. Great wifi. Lots of tv channels. Needs a new screen door that actually works. Old bagged out loveseat should be replaced with a newer couch. A drying rack on the porch for wet swimsuits and towels would be nice. These are not expensive things but in my opinion would greatly enhance this cabin. It’s not cheap but I think we are paying more for the location. I spent my days paddling on Waugh and Ruby lakes. Also hiked to Skookumchuck narrows. Spent 6 nights here. It was great!

Cute spot great dock

It’s a simple shack cabin, but it’s cute and has everything you need for two adults. If you are very particular or you aren’t used to actual cabins (not perfect brand new immaculate places) this may not be your spot. If you love a little cabin with character and privacy at a good price, you’ll like this. The private dock on a lake is wonderful. The little boats were fun. Overall for the price great value in this area of BC.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: North Lake met our expectations of a lovely small lake close to Vancouver free of the noise of motor boats with silky clear water suitable for swimming. Lydia made sure the cottage was clean. She was reliable and helpful.The cottage is a modest one room cabin with bathroom, kitchen, covered porch and views of the lake through a grove of trees and rhododendrons. We needed to spend a couple of hours cutting back overgrown plants to make the short poorly maintained trail passable. This leads to a wooden deck with more open views of the water, which also required the removal of plants coming up through the cracks. This is the best place to eat and pass the time when the weather permits. Steep slippery steps lead to an equally slippery floating dock which is in need of a complete rebuild to avoid serious injury. This in turn leads to a tilting raft mostly covered by an ancient fibreglass paddle boat and an equally ancient fibreglass rowboat both of which are overturned and difficult to upright.The scale and siting of the cottage built by unskilled design and labour is not without charm, though settling over the years makes it impossible to fully close any doors. It appears to be well insulated and easy to heat, though the lighting is clumsy. The furniture is modest but reasonably comfortable. It is the cheapness of such elements as old cast off DVDs, out of date tourism information, dry cleaner hangers, curtains that don’t fully cover the closet, the mish mash of dishes and cooking utensils, along with the 25 year old spices from Woodwards that makes guests feel the “host” is not interested in welcoming them but rather in the exorbitant $400 plus per night that is being charged.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love coming to North Lake and the Waddle Inn cottage. The lake and surroundings are stunningly beautiful and peacefully quiet. Combine that with the cozy cabin, sundeck, dock, paddle boat and the fact you can bring your dog and you have the makings of a perfectly relaxing vacation. We will be back for sure.

Quiet lakefront hideaway

This small but cozy property has a wonderful lakefront location with a swimming dock and row boat for getting out on North Lake. The covered porch was a plus as it rained quite a bit while we were there, but the lake was still warm enough for swimming.

Little piece of heaven.

The cabin itself is a little rustic and dated, but it's clean and comfortable. The location is stellar. Great access to the lake at your doorstep, easy to access the warm waters of the lake, and it's really quiet and secluded. Has the added benefit of having no cellular coverage or wifi, so you just drop off the edge of the world here... Just a beautiful, quiet location.

August 2019 Stay

Slight delay on the check in, and a plumbing issue that was fixed quickly and on time, and the BBQ was missing propane (had to borrow some from the guests at the main house), but overall we had a fantastic stay. It's a great location for a super, quiet getaway on the lake. Great access to the water, great decks to sit and watch the wildlife (rabbits, bats, snakes, turtles, ospreys etc. etc.). And a nice secluded bay of the lake too. I'm so glad there's no cell coverage either....

What a gem. Was not expecting such a peaceful, pristine place. Had all the comforts of home, the best swimming one could ask for and nature all around. Saw turtles sunning themselves on logs near the cottage, a mama loon feeding her babe, kingfisher bird, bats, and more. Would come back in a heartbeat and hope to next summer!

A Wee Bit of Paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Lakeside Cottage was everything we could have wished for - quiet, private location, beautiful lake views, two decks and a dock to relax on and everything we needed for easy self catering - a well stocked kitchen and BBQ on the deck. The lake was clear and warm and we took full advantage of the paddle boat and row boat and our dog (who loves to swim) could not have been happier. We will be back for sure!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had such a great time staying at this adorable cabin. The cabin is right on the lake with your own dock and paddle boat to use. We brought our kayaks which was perfect for the lake, swimming was also absolutely perfect as well. Lots of beautiful wild life around, from the painted turtles that live in the lake to the humming birds dancing around and blue herons nesting at the end of the lake. I loved this place and cannot wait to go back.

Absolutely loved it, and so did the dogs.

We couldn't be happier with our stay! Paula was a pleasure and the property has to be seen to do it justice! Everything was clean, and comfortable, a little bbq, kitchen had all the prep/serving/cooking items, and had some basic pantry stuff (salt,pepper,spices) which was nice, we left a small bag of sugar for the next guests for your coffee on the beautiful lower deck overlooking the Lake. Best part NO CELL RECEPTION ❤ the dogs had an absolute blast!! Already asking my husband when we can book our next trip back. The dock was lovely and we had a great time on the paddle boats on beautiful North Lake. Highly recommending for dog owners, who enjoy nature or anyone who appreciates the Lake life.
