Charming Waterfront Summer Cottage on Bay of Quinte

This summer waterfront cottage is perfect for small families, couples or groups looking for a great deck and killer sunsets.

**NEW 50-FOOT DOCK in 2024, complete with sitting area and swim ladder.**

**NEW PADDLE BOARDS option (waivers required).**

**5-NIGHT MIN in July/August only. Reach out for shorter stays off-peak season.**

The cottage is located on Big Island, facing north on the Bay of Quinte, with a longish, rolling property, 20 minutes from Picton, 30 minutes from Sandbanks and virtually everything else the county has to offer.

Enjoy beaching, wineries and artisanal ‘stuff’ by day, and board games, waterfront fires and sunsets certain to jack up your Instagram-cred by night.

This is a 2-bedroom (1 queen/2 twins), 1 bath (standing shower only) with a pullout couch in the living room to sleep 4 comfortably and 6 cozily.

WiFi, wood-stove if it gets cold, TV with DVD player (incl. early 2000s DVD collection), stereo with smartphone hook-up, and board game selection.

Kitchen comes stocked with vintage dishware to complement the vintage avocado cupboards. Standard appliances (incl. microwave, but no dishwasher or washer/dryer). BBQ on deck.

Linens, towels and basic sundries (TP, Kleenex, paper towels, dish/hand soap) provided.

Adventurous swimmers will be happy here (i.e., okay with rock shore, underwater weeds etc.). If you want sand and crystal clear water, you will prefer swimming at Sandbanks 30 minutes away.

The Bay of Quinte is a fisher’s paradise, so if that’s your thing, you’ve come to the right place. Baycrest Lodge and Marina is a 2-minute drive down the road if you want to launch and/or dock a boat during your stay.

Tap water is safe and drinkable.

Friendly neighbours on either side. Be sure to say hello during your [minimum] 5-day stay!

Classic Cottage
Classic cottage fully equipped with everything you'd need for a great cottage experience. We ended up never going to Sandbanks, and just swam off the dock. Great location for visiting local wineries, dining and Picton for shopping. thanks for a lovely stay in your charming cottage. The Watson

Comfortable and relaxing
The cottage was wonderful, clean and had everything we needed and more for a holiday. Beds were comfortable and loved the chaise lounge to curl up with a book. The deck looking out over the water was very relaxing. Phil was very accommodating during the process and we appreciated him checking in to make sure everything was going well. A wonderful experience.

Lovely place
This cottage was just perfect for my friends and I. Beautiful lawn and view of the bay. Very relaxing area to come back to after a day of discovering wineries and breweries of Prince Edward county. Lots of everything you need for your stay in the cottage, including basics for cooking. Lots of games , DVD, CD available, paddle boards to explore the bay, a hammock on the lawn, beach chairs , great patio, etc… A fireplace for the cool evenings or a nice veranda to enjoy the outside … Phil is very helpful and replies quickly to any questions. We had a lovely stay and I would return anytime.

Restful country cottage
The property is well situated with a lovely lawn stretching down to the water. Nice views from lakeside chairs and from the large deck. Waterfront is limited in size , but swimming is ok with a shelving stony bottom. Need water shoes. The cottage itself is superbly clean and well stocked with cooking utensils. dining and drinking ware, etc. Beds were very comfortable. The cottage can be opened up to take advantage of the through breezes from the lake. Walking on the surrounding roads is pleasant. All in all, we enjoyed our stay (despite several rainy days). There are lots of games available to play.

Excellent base to explore PEC
Great, well maintained cottage on a quiet road on the Big Island. Easily accessible to all the PEC has to offer. The front covered porch is so useful if you happen to get rainy weather as we did. We loved the big, well maintained backyard and sunsets. Highly recommend.

Relaxing getaway
Great stay in cute Demorestville. Really great waterfront for pups and humans (although bring water shoes :)). Awesome new deck as well. Close to Picton (20 min drive) but far enough away you still feel like your in the middle of the country.
