Lakefront Living

Details

Come and be captivated by our little slice of retro heaven. From the moment you reach the top of the driveway, you will be enchanted by the view. Step inside and you are greeted by a bright and airy interior, where every detail has been carefully considered for comfort and vintage style.

The open concept space seamlessly blends the living room, dining room and kitchen, creating a harmonious and inviting atmosphere perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. The furnishings are a mix of Mid-Century Modern with a dash of 1960’s and 70’s housewares and a touch of understated Canadiana. Brimming with personality, retro pieces, original artwork and unique auction treasures give the space a sense of nostalgia.

The living room features authentic 1950’s Atomic sofas and armchairs; a cozy wood stove and three large sliding patio doors that lead outside onto an expansive deck where fresh pine breezes and lake views await. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for preparing simple snacks to gourmet meals and desserts. There is no dishwasher, but the fantastic lake view compensates for the chore. In the dining area, a 1950’s teak sideboard features vintage barware, cocktail shakers and a cool ice bucket.

Running the length of the cottage and overlooking the garden are the bedrooms and the bathroom. There are three bedrooms, two of which have queen size beds. The other has a double bed. All the bedrooms are comfortably furnished with vintage dressers and new beds made up with fresh cotton sheets and duvets. The bathroom is a 3-piece with a shower. Towels, including beach towels, are provided.

Location

Sunset Cove Cottage is nestled in a quiet cove overlooking Lake Deception. At the end of a winding road and surrounded by spruce and white pines it is a private retreat.

The lake is peaceful and quiet. Shallow in some parts and deeper in others, Lake Deception is suitable for kayaks, paddle boards and canoes. So, if you are looking for a peaceful escape away from the sounds of motorboats and jet skies, this is the place for you. Mornings on the lake are typically calm and still. It’s the perfect time to take the SUPs out for a tranquil paddle or savour your morning coffee and watch the island emerge from the morning mist.

A large two-sided deck runs the length and width of the cottage. Partially covered and furnished with wicker chairs and a sun lounger, it’s perfect for lazing in the sunshine on one side and then retiring for some cool shade on the other.

The garden slopes gently down to a small sandy beach with a dock. There are hours of family entertainment to be had at the cottage. Take the paddle boards or kayaks and explore the lake. Tie up to the floating deck that doubles as a swim platform and relax! Bask in the sunshine, swim and float around in the inner tubes. Go on a woodland walk, check out the aerial acrobatics of our resident ruby throated hummingbird, Bertram as he defends his feeder. Watch a spectacular sunset and spend the evening playing board games, or star gazing around a beach bonfire.

If you tire of the cottage and want to explore, it’s just 15 minutes to Shelburne where you can find museums and shopping as well as a selection of dining options. Catch a show at one of the local bars/restaurants or the Osprey Arts Center. A little further afield are provincial parks, fishing villages, beaches, museums, galleries and hiking trails.
