About this property

The Maple Cottage - Lakefront Cottage, Private, Pet-Friendly, Nature Retreat!

You will have full access to the cottage, dock and surrounding area during your stay, with exception to our bunkie which is rented out separately (though it has it’s own private area and dock and it’s unlikely you’ll see anyone during your stay). You are welcome to use our canoe and two kayaks. We provide paddles and standard adult life jackets. Please note that there are many stairs to the dock. We promise that it is worth it once you get down to the dock, but if you have any mobility issues, you may have trouble accessing the water.

The open concept kitchen, dining room and living room make the space feel big. It’s a cozy cottage with enough room for everyone to have their own space. With many windows, the cottage is bright and airy with a nice cross-breeze.

We have running water from a spring fed drilled well, and a new septic tank. We recommend you bring your own bottled drinking water (although we drink the well water, we cannot guarantee it’s safety). We ask that you please not flush anything other than the septic-safe toilet paper we provide, and be mindful of water usage during your stay. The cottage is not equipped with laundry or a dishwasher at this time.

We have installed a brand new solar system that should not run out of power during your stay. However, we ask that guests be aware of their usage so as not to deplete the batteries. For example, the toaster, blow driers, hair straighteners and other high power appliances should be used in the morning to allow time to recharge the batteries.

Wifi is available at our cottage. Though we encourage you to spend your days outside, your nights laughing with friends and family and to save the Wifi for a rainy day. For WFH folks, we have recently added a small desk in the loft so you can have your own space to focus when necessary. The desk is equipped with basic office supplies if you are missing anything to get your work done.

One bedroom offers a king size bed, while the second room holds a double. The loft space above the main living area sleeps two more on two twin beds.

We will provide you with all bed linens for the beds, as well as kitchen and bath towels.

Just off the main living area you will find a large screened-in sun room, offering additional seating space. The deck is equipped with a propane BBQ, sink (drains only, no running water), and a table and chairs to seat six.

Fagan Lake is a private lake with only a few cottages and no public access points. We ask that you please respect the other patrons of the lake. Noise travels well here so we ask that you be mindful of noise before 8 am and after 11 pm. Kindly clean up any garbage around the dock as to not pollute the water.

**PLEASE NOTE** As we are in a very rural spot, there is no garbage collection service at our cottage. Guests are required to take all waste at the end of your stay. You may be charged an additional fee for failure to remove all waste.

Wonderful place on a lovely quiet lake

We had a wonderful stay at their lovely cottage. The place is well designed, nicely built out with an updated classic cottage vibe and it was really comfortable for our trip (two families of three). The dock is more than a few steps/stairs away but the lake is quiet and lovely with no other cottages in view helping you disconnect and enjoy the lake. We took the boats out a lot, had great campfires, had delightful meals on their deck and could really disconnect from the city while there. The distance from the lake gives the cottage a wonderful view over the lake from the deck and living room so even in a bit of rain you have a great connection to the lake and the forest. It was fantastic to have such wonderful wilderness oasis such a short drive from the capital!

105 steps to the lake

From the moment we pulled into the long lane way we could tell the property was loved and cared for. The cottage was perfect size for our blending family with bed and space for all five of us (2 adults and 3 teens). The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, the bed and linen clean and comfy. Being new to cottaging as a family we learned a fire pit accessible for everyone is important, this one really only worked for 2-3 people due to the rocks and hills around. The water was pristine, the dock and kayaks were loved and used by everyone, the 105 steps one way (or 5 floors) to the water was at times a deterrent. But we enjoyed the stay all the same, we had some good laugh, and new memories made. Mission accomplished.

Beautiful, secluded gem

Beautiful cottage, everything you need for a quiet, cozy get away. Would definitely go back. Enjoyed some fishing off the dock, nice camp fire in the evenings. Some card games and down time, just what we needed!

Beautiful Lake

Loved the cottage! Very quiet and peaceful. Directions to cottage easy to follow. Not suitable for a family with young children; the waterfront is too far from the cottage. Steep hill with lots of steps!!
