This rustic, private lakefront cottage on Pigeon Lake features 3 bedrooms, 3 full/double sized beds, large bright living room with sleeper sectional, newly renovated kitchen, updated bathroom, private dock, indoor fireplace, screened in sunroom, 2 outdoor fire pits, and large yard for games and more.

The space
Spectacular views. Nothing beats a morning coffee on the dock while the lake is still calm or a night around the campfire looking up are the stars.

Full private access to the property (excluding garage).

2 kayaks (life jackets provided).

Cottage stocked with: linens, bath towels, cleaning supplies, garbage bags, toilet paper, paper towels, glassware, mugs, tableware, pots/pan, utensils, coffee, sugar, salt/pepper and a few other cooking/kitchen necessities.

Things to know:

Well behaved pets are welcome, please inquire prior to stay. Pet rules and an extra $50 cleaning fee apply when staying with pets. Fee will be added if not paid at booking. Pets are not allowed in beds or on furniture.

No house parties, registered guests only.

Quiet hours between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM. Strictly enforced.

Pigeon lake is known to be weedy, some seasons are worse than others, and the amount of weeds on the shoreline is often related to weather and water currents. At extra weedy times, we recommend bringing a floatie and heading out past the weeds to take a dip. This area of the lake traditionally has warm waters in the summer season.

This is cottage country, expect a rustic relaxing experience enjoying the outdoors and come prepare for inclement weather, insects and wildlife.

Perfect cozy cabin
It was exactly what we were looking for for a quick break from the city, would recommend for a small family looking for the the basics, clean and cozy. Great host. We'll be looking to come back in another season and enjoy the lake.

A perfect getaway
We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. The cottage was immaculate and cozy. My favourite part was looking out the large beautiful window at the lake and a variety of birds. So peaceful. Highly recommend and will return.

Fanily Get-together
We stayed at this property in January to celebrate my Dad's 70th birthday in a location central to the family. It was warm (not a guarantee for a cottage in January), fairly clean, and had more supplies/amenities than I was expecting. didn't speak with the property
