About this property

Life is Good Lakefront Cottage — 1.5h from Toronto

Our cottage sleeps 6 comfortably in 2 bedrooms with queen beds and a brand new pull-out sofa in the livingroom. The cottage is well laid out with large windows in the livingroom offering a lovely vista of the lake and a walkout to the back deck which is only steps to the crystal clear water. Shallow entry at the sandy shore is perfect for swimmers, children, kayakers, canoers and paddle boarders.

The cottage is great for remote work with fast Wi-Fi, or movie watching on the large screen TV. We provide you with linens and kitchen staples. There is parking for 2 cars in the driveway and additional roadside parking available except for winter months.

The cottage is just minutes to Bridgenorth or Ennismore for grocery stores, the LCBO, a pizza/pasta restaurant and a bakery. Peterborough is a short 10 km drive away for additional shopping, dining and entertainment options, and hosts an array of seasonal and cultural events.

Chemong Lake is a 4-season playground! Great for boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and all types of watersports. There is excellent fishing for large and smallmouth bass, walleye, perch and musky. A marina is located nearby for boat rentals. Hit the greens at area golf courses. Winter months on the lake offer options for snowshoeing, cross country skiing, ice fishing, skating and snowmobiling.

We're thrilled to offer you the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful surroundings, including access to our inflatable boat. Before you embark on your boat adventure, please take a moment to read and sign a waiver form.

A waiver form will be provided after you make the reservation, or you can request it in advance. Please sign the form before using the boat. Once completed, please take a photo and send it to the host. Thank you for your cooperation, and we hope you have a fantastic boating experience!

Summer Getaway
Our stay was amazing. We couldnt have asked for a better location. Foodland Groceries is 4 minute drive. Everything else is about 10 minutes away. My kids range from 10 to 16 and they loved the fishing and the raft. The game table wad a good cool down spot from being in thw heat. Everyrhing was clean. I wasnt sure if there was utensils and pots and pans. But the host had everything available so that was a plus. The water was clear and shalllow. My kids and dog didn't want to get out. We will be coming back here! Thank you Frank we had a great family trip.

The Cottage on Chemong
My three night stay with my wife and two teenage kids was very pleasant. We enjoyed the lake for continuous swimming 🏊‍♂️ on the beautiful sunny days, as well as the kayaking and boating with the dingy. BBQing was great for having dinner with the family, plus going into Bridgnorth for dinner was only a 5 minute drive. I'd highly recommend this place for a vacationing getaway, you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful spot
The property is in a beautiful location! Can’t be beat! The only issue we had were the beds were extremely uncomfortable and need a mattress topper or new mattresses for comfort.

Beautiful Kawarthas
Gorgeous view! Our family of 3 enjoyed our stay - great base location to explore Kawartha/Peterborough sites - hiking, biking, canoeing, spelunking, cruising. Cottage had needed items; suggest adding another sofa for more seating in TV area. Excellent communication from owner. Recommended.

Good little cottage
Had almost everything we needed for a weekend on the lake. Water was glorious and the view was great. Would have been nice if there was a canoe, but that wasn't part of the listing so no complaints.

Good stay
We had a good stay. There were few things that can be improved. Cleaning needs more attention and few things around the cottage can be improved. No outdoor eating area. The kitchen lacks a few items - pots and utensils. The water in the lake was warm and almost no mosquitoes. Overall good experience.
