The water beckons at this quiet two-bedroom cottage on the north side of Black Lake. Beautiful sunrises and birdwatching over breakfast will start your day with canoeing or swimming in a sheltered bay to fill the time. When the colour of the sunset fades, there's a wood-burning stove or the fire pit to keep you warm under the stars while the flickers of fireflies and the haunting call of loons provide your entertainment. The cottage sleeps 4 comfortably and includes the use of a high-speed internet, a canoe, 2 kayaks and an eV charging station. The bathroom and kitchen have been remodelled and the kitchen comes equipped with a microwave, stove, fridge, espresso and regular coffeemakers, dishwasher and washing machine. The towns of Perth and Westport are nearby for rainy-day activities and there's a drive-in theatre close by. There are good cycling paths and provincial parks with walking trails nearby. The cottage is a lovely getaway from city noise and the lake is great for swimming and fishing.

We stayed for 4 nights and 5 days. It was beautiful and peaceful and felt like home. The host was wonderful and had left markers games for my 5 year old.
There was wood for the fire pit and lots of swimming and exploration of both the property and the area. Wonderful time!
Spent a fantastic few days at Pam's cottage. The cottage is old style but very well maintained and all the amenities are there. Water is not portable, but several large jugs of drinking water is provided. You also need to bring your own linens and towels. The cottage is located in a very quite bay. Water is usually very calm out front even when wind pickup further out. The view from the cottage is money. It is so relaxing sitting on the lounge chairs enjoying the view. But what we enjoyed most are the watercrafts provided. They are all excellent for paddling. Two seats are provided for the canoe. We went to the top of the lake and back and it's a 12.5 km trip. Bass are plentiful in the lake, but all are less than 1lb in size.

About the host
Hosted by Pam FitzGerald
I'm from eastern Ontario and know this region and its rich history well. I'm retired and love spending more time at the lake ... as do my grown sons and their families.
Why they chose this property
It's a serene setting with glorious sunrises and a beautiful lake view! There's a woods and marsh on the other side of the street. The swimming is great and there are few boaters. There's also good fishing. So many birds flourish here including herons, cardinals and hummingbirds with varied birdsong that fills the days and the haunting songs of loons that fill the nights. The walking is nice too and there are nearby trails available in various provincial parks. In nearby Perth and Westport, there are shops, music and good food to while away rainy days ... and there's even a drive-in cinema within a half hour. What's not to do and love about this amazing neighbourhood?
What makes this property unique
It's right on a small inlet of the lake and has a very private feel.
