Covid19 Precautions: We are currently following the rules according to Ontario's re-opening regulations. We have extra staff to ensure complete disinfectant wipe down between every rental. This includes all door handles, taps, toilets, TV remotes, light switches, fan switches and all counter tops, tables, window openers, BBQ and hot tub. The hot tub is super chlorinated using Bromine.

Property Description:
Located on the pristine waters of Sharbot Lake (285 km East of Toronto, 75 km North of Kingston, 30 minutes to Perth, 1.5 hours to Ottawa) on it's own private island, 400 meters offshore from free parking, 3 minutes from a very good grocery store, drug store, bank , post office and medical center; 6 minutes from beer and liquor stores, fast food and gas stations.

This 2500 sq. ft., 4 bedroom year round home has central air and geothermal heat and has stunning views (especially sunsets by the fire pit) and great amenities. The upstairs bedroom suite is 720 sq. ft. with its own 4 piece bathroom (however be aware that the toilet in the master bedroom is currently a composting toilet) and upstairs walkout covered balcony. Featuring a hot tub set into the largest of the three decks. BBQ (new as of Sept 2021). Pool table room with large widows and an airtight full glass door wood burning stove (but fire wood is not provided) overlooking the lake, next to the granite and tile kitchen, large stove /oven and oversized fridge /freezer, large capacity washer and dryer, with hardwood floors throughout the house, walls and ceilings finished in knotty pine. Two and a half bathrooms with two of them boasting Jacuzzi tubs. There are 3 flat screen TV’s with bell satellite with sports and movie packages and internet with unlimited free wi-fi. There are Amazon fire tv sticks on the two main TVs for easy access to Netflix, Prime Video, Crave, YouTube, etc.. (just please remember to sign out when you leave so subsequent renters can't rent Prime movies at your expense). It's a 5 minute canoe paddle to the government dock/parking lot and then 3 minute walk to the grocery store. Great fishing and swimming and sunning off the 16’ by 32’ floating dock.

The water supply is lake water that is run through an ultraviolet light filtration/sterilization system. There is then a 5 step reverse osmosis (RO) filtration system at the kitchen sink for tea/coffee/cooking. We are comfortable using the RO water for all kitchen use. However, we do recommend that you bring your own bottled water for drinking.

The rental includes a utility motor boat for transport to/from Island (proof of Boating License required), otherwise shuttle to and from the island is provided at the start and end of your stay (via the property manager). The motor boat will be either a 14 foot utility outboard motorboat with 40 hp Mercury motor (2013) or a 14.5 foot utility outboard motorboat with a 25 hp Mercury motor (2022) at the discretion of the property manager/owners. The rental includes the motorboat only for shuttling back and forth between the island and government docks. You have the option of also renting use of the motorboat for recreational use during your stay for $100/day or $500/week (which includes one tank of gasoline with minimum 3 day rental).

New June 2022 : 3 kayaks for recreational use - at own risk (2 single and 1 tandem).
New for 2024: Canoe and peddle boat for recreational use - at own risk.

Note on Security Camera: There are no spy cameras in place. WE DO NOT SPY ON OUR GUESTS. There is one security camera which is directed at the hot tub. This is solely for the purpose of dissuading use of the hot tub by other cottagers when our cottage is not in use. We encourage guests to disable this camera by unplugging it on the upstairs veranda deck during the duration of their stay.

Winter Rentals: winter rentals are available usually by mid January (once there is confirmed to be at least 12 inches of ice on the lake) and February. It's a 3 min walk across ice to the island, luggage will be transported across via snowmobile/sled (complements of the property manager). Hot tub working year-round. Excellent ice fishing. Geothermal heating. Top-up heat optional via a wood stove - bring your own firewood (or usually available for purchase from the property manager)

The property is not available in December and March due to ice/safety.
