Cottages in Cobourg

The suite was well appointed, cozy, quiet and comfortable. We loved coming back after long days of cycling as far away as Prince Edward County. The home was easy to find and easy to access. It was also very good value. Highly recommend.

Nice location,clean, great shower

It’s basically a garbage dump with some cute cabins in the middle. There was no dock, the swimming was so unbearably weedy and murky. If you’re going to stay inside all day or have a fam jam and don’t want to be near the water this is the place for you.

I loved the view and that they had all the essentials for cooking.

The photos are very accurate. Of course, during winter and occasional snowstorms, any inconvenience was due to the weather—not the cottage itself. On the contrary, the heating system is excellent, the hot water system works perfectly, and the cottage stays warm and comfortable. The overall comfort can easily be enhanced by bringing a few personal “comfort” items, as we did. I’ve read some negative reviews, and I believe they stem from unrealistic expectations—perhaps expecting full hotel services in a rental cottage. Keeping in mind that this is not a full-service hotel stay, the experience exceeded all of our expectations. That was the clear consensus in our family. The person in the office, located very close to the cottage, was extremely cordial and helpful. When we needed the gas tank for the barbecue replaced, he promptly took care of it and was always readily available on-site whenever needed. Thank you—you truly made our stay more comfortable. We brought a few additional items that we personally prefer using (paper towels, napkins, spring water, our own pillows and preferred covers, shampoo and similar items, extra garbage bags, etc.), and everything worked out perfectly. The only thing we missed was additional hanging space for clothes, as there is no closet or hanger aside from hooks behind the door. A mat by the sliding door to the deck would also be helpful; we brought our own, anticipating the need. Overall, the experience is like staying in a rental cottage, but with far less hassle since water and heating are fully taken care of. Price-wise, it is absolutely fair. We look forward to coming back in the summer.

EZ location, beautiful lake scenery. Lovely simple interior

Love the view and venue. Check in and out was easy.

I liked having the lockbox available for check in

The cottage was right on Rice Lake. You take 20 steps of the large rear deck and you’re in the lake! Beautiful views but the geese make it difficult to enjoy it at times. The cottage is a good size with room for a family and your fur babies. The extra large deck facing the lake is fantastic and the hanging egg shaped wicker chair is absolutely amazing! You can enjoy the sun rise or sun set in comfort and the sliding patio doors from the one bedroom to the deck make it an added bonus if you want to climb outta bed and sit and watch the sun come up! The property and the cottages are in a wonderful spot and the upgrades that the owners have done from the original condition they were in make it worth staying here! I would recommend bringing cleaning supplies with you and extra toilet paper, towels and garbage bags since they only leave minimal. I suggest the owners bring in someone who knows how to clean the cottages properly and care for the outside property and surrounding areas in a timely manner instead of waiting until the last minute and then half assing the job! If I owned this property I would take pride in it!
