Family Friendly Stoney Lake Cottage
****Check us out on Instagram @therogersretreat ****
The Rogers Retreat is a family friendly cottage. From May 1 to Thanksgiving we exclusively rent to family groups of 14 people or less, regardless of age(i.e. infants/toddlers count toward group total), and from the first Saturday in June thru to the second Saturday of September, we rent by the week, Saturday - Saturday. Our outdoor quiet time policy of 930pm is a little too restrictive for groups of adults which is why our May-Thanksgiving groups must be a mix of kids and parents and/or grandparents, etc...
Between Thanksgiving and the first weekend in May, we happily welcome all groups to inquire, families, adult only, etc... We have parking for a maximum of 4 cars, No trailers of any kind permitted on site, boat trailer storage to be arranged by Vacationer through either McCrackens Landing or Carveths Marina.
Cleaning fee is in addition to all rates on rate sheet. Rate calculator sometimes defaults to US dollars, ensure Canada is selected at the top of page.
This fantastic four season family friendly cottage on Stoney Lake boasts 7 bedrooms, 5 on the main floor (2 with ensuites) and 2 bedrooms on the lower level. The cottage features a large open concept living/dining room with a remarkable view of the picturesque islands of Stoney Lake. The spacious kitchen and dining area are great for entertaining - step out from the living room onto the beautiful deck facing the water and enjoy the afternoon sun capped off by a beautiful evening sunset. This is the perfect spot for families to vacation during the summer.
We have one tv on each floor with Bell satellite.
After years of searching, we've finally found an internet provider with an okay speed! It is not the the same as city internet, but can usually handle netflix, crave (or whatever service you subscribe to), on the main tv. It can support some regular internet activities but can't support streaming on multiple devices. Also, unfortunately we can't guarantee minimum speeds or that there won't be sporadic and/or weather related unavailabilities from time to time, which is why it is offered free of charge.
Pets subject to owners approval and completion of separate pet contract. 2 pets max per group. Each approved pet will be subject to $50 pet fee and $200 fully refundable pet deposit. $200 pet deposit will be returned to you upon successful departure.
Garbage and recycling to be removed by guests upon departure. Three local transfer stations are listed on the contract and should be contacted to ensure hours of operation on your specific departure date, as hours vary by season and the websites aren't always up to date.
Area Info: We are located only 1hr 45mins from Toronto and 1hr 15mins from the Durham Region.

We stayed 3 days with 14 seniors (siblings)
The deck and docks were perfect
The cottage a bit dated but clean and as described
We are hoping to return again
We ranged in age from 75 to 7. The grandkids, and kids loved fishing from the dock. The canoe, kayaks, and paddleboat were well employed. The provided life jackets were great. We didn't watch much tv but a game player was set up downstairs and kept many busy during the rain. Every family cooked for the day and found the kitchen well stocked. Two fridges were really appreciated. A light breeze kept the bugs at bay and the cottage relatively cool. The hot tub was well maintained throughout. We did have a few communication challenges but they were VRBO glitches and had nothing to do with the rental. We had an awesome week.
I stayed at Chris and family's wonderful cottage for a long weekend with a group of ten friends and we enjoyed it immensely. The space is gorgeous and roomy and offers lots of spots to be together or get away from the group to have some quiet time. The outdoor parts are also lovely, nothing beats sitting in the hot tub and looking out at a gorgeous winter landscape or sitting around a fire. Chris was amazing at communicating with me and very helpful both before and during our stay. All of us would stay at this wonderful spot again in a heartbeat!
We are repeat visitors and always love our time at Rogers Retreat. The cottage accommodations are lovely, and there are updates happening all the time (love the Reno of the master ensuite). Lots of room for our 3 generational gathering. Lakeside is beautiful and watching sunset from the hot tub is perfection. Chris is an attentive host, very quick to respond to any question before and during our stay. Highly recommend Rogers Retreat.
We had three families and three generations coming together at Rogers Retreat and it was everything we could have asked for! It's a beautiful property and Chris was wonderful to deal with. Thanks, Chris, for sharing your cottage with us, and for your kindness.
We stayed at this cottage coming in from BC for a family reunion. There were lots of options for sleeping and everyone got their own room. It was a bit difficult bringing in our own blankets and towels but thankfully we had family in the area to help out. The owners of course also had options for a fee if we were stuck. The owners were responsive to any questions we had and overall we had a great time at Rogers retreat on Stoney lake. The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking and sitting on the docks drinking a morning tea was the perfect start to the day.
We had such an incredible time at this property, the views on the lake were stunning and we were able to snow shoe around the frozen lake, then go back to the property for a hot tub. 10/10
Our family just returned from a wonderful winter getaway at the Rogers Retreat. Everything was fantastic. The hosts were so responsive and accommodating.
We had a wonderful time at the Rogers Retreat. Your place is the perfect setup for our family. The highlights are almost too numerous to mention. We, of course, spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the view and cottage life in general. It's a toss-up between the hot tub and water mat over what got used the most. We also enjoyed the fabulous swimming, kayaking, paddleboat and during the evening sitting around the fire pit. We found the cottage to be very comfortable, allowing the whole family ample room to move around, whether we were preparing meals, relaxing or settling in. We loved every minute of it.
As soon as we stepped in the cottage, the view to the lake was breathtaking. The cottage was very spacious, clean and homey. The hot tub right on the dock near the lake was like a dream. We hope to rent again in the future. Everything was perfect!
