THE EXPERIENCE
◈━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◈

Your morning begins with a fresh-pressed coffee on the deck, watching the mist lift off VARTY LAKE. Ease into the day by swaying in the lakeside hammock, where the only soundtrack is the gentle ripple of the water and birds echoing through the trees. Whether you're reading a book, taking an afternoon nap, or simply soaking in the panoramic lake views, the hammock quickly becomes a guest favorite for complete relaxation.

Spend your day exploring the Cataraqui Trail, paddling the shoreline by kayak, or casting a line off the private dock for a peaceful fishing experience on the lake. As the sun begins to set, gather around the lakeside fire pit or retreat indoors for a "Hygge" inspired evening. Wrap yourself in a premium throw, sync your playlist to the Smart TV, and prepare a meal in a kitchen that doesn’t compromise on utility.

As night falls, immerse yourself in the ultimate hot tub experience. Slip into the steaming 102°F spa while overlooking the calm lake under a sky filled with stars. The contrast between the crisp evening air and warm bubbling water creates a deeply calming atmosphere that feels worlds away from city life. With minimal light pollution, the Milky Way often becomes the highlight of the night, turning every soak into a private luxury retreat.

[NOTE: It takes 4-8 hrs for hot tub chemicals to settle. Please inquire specifically if you prefer a short 1 night stay]

Lovely location and nice cottage. Great view! Water pressure was very low in kitchen and bathtub. Not hot water in kitchen or bathroom. Hot tub was smaller than originally pictured, 3 people was a squeeze. But it did work and was hot. Communication with host was good.

We had a great stay, the place was tidy, and all our basic needs were met. Hot tub was amazing. The view and lake were also beautiful. Peaceful and relaxing. Host was very friendly although communication could be improved as check in was a bit rocky. Thanks for the memories!
