The Space
Waterfront Paradise: The calm waters are safe for children and novice swimmers. Those who love fishing (Bass, Pike, Pickerel, Crappie) can do so right from the dock. Use the pair of kayaks, or bring your own boat to moor at the dock, and do some exploring of the famous Trent Severn Waterway. Boats can also be rented or launched from Sunset Cove Marina, only a 3-minute drive.
Comfortable and fully-equipped: Freshly renovated with unique décor, cathedral ceiling with rustic beams, a propane gas fireplace, all-season climate control, Wifi, and a smart TV. The cottage consists of two cozy bedrooms, a 3-piece bathroom, open concept fully-equipped kitchen (just bring your own ingredients), living room, and eating area..
Great Area to Explore: Within a 10-minute walk, you will find a swing bridge, golf course with dining, local LCBO and food market (grab some famous Kawartha Dairy ice cream!), baseball diamond, basketball court, and a playground. In less than 15 minutes drive, you can go horseback riding, rent a boat (to moor on our dock), visit the famous Kirkfield liftlocks, go birding in the Carden Plain, and explore Beaverton. In about a 30 minute drive, you can visit Lindsay, Orillia, and Fenelon Falls, each offering a charming day trip destination.
Opportunity to bring friends and family! The two Talbot-by-the-Lake cottages are a perfect choice for an extended family/ friends that want a pair of cottages side by side - allowing each to have some space of their own. Pineview next door sleeps 5, with all the same amenities.
