Our family has recently purchased and renovated this cottage on Paudash Lake. Paudash is a beautiful lake located just south of Bancroft Ontario bordering the Kawarthas and Haliburton regions of Ontario's cottage country. The cottage is easy to get to from HWY 28 and is close to Bancroft or Apsley if you need groceries or an LCBO.

The cottage is great in all seasons. In the winter months, we are very close to some of the best snowmobile trails, hiking, and cross country skiing trails at Silent Lake Provincial Park. In the summer there is a marina on the lake if you are interested in renting a boat or water toys. We have a canoe, a paddleboard and 2 kayaks on the property for your use.

Our cottage has a new kitchen and each room has been newly decorated. The cottage is 2 stories high with cathedral ceilings in the living room and a screened outdoor sitting room so you can enjoy the amazing view of the lake. We are on a well and the water is very safe to drink and cook with. Sun exposure is east and we have the most beautiful sunrise views. Directly behind our cottage is a large park for throwing a ball or walking through the trails.

The main cottage has 3 bedrooms and sleeps 8 comfortably. All mattresses in the cottage are brand new and very comfortable for sleeping. All bedding is provided and of the finest quality.

Here is a breakdown of beds in the cottage:
Bedroom 1 (2nd floor)- 1 California king bed
Bedroom 2 (2nd floor) - 2 single beds + a bunk bed
Bedroom 3 (main floor)- 1 queen bed

Check-in is 4pm and check-out is 11am.

Paudash Lake is a wonderful place for a family vacation. We are very respectful of the lake, the environment and our neighbours. We are only looking for renters who will do the same. Please contact me (Kim) with any questions.

    Perfect spot for our family gathering, weather was rainy and cloudy but the cottage had lots to offer.

    A spacious, bright, clean and welcoming property. The kitchen had all the amenities, including an icemaker and coffee machine. The dock gets full sun in the morning, shaded in the afternoon on a quiet lake. Lots of nature along the shoreline to explore in the kayaks. Pet friendly too! The lake is clear and not weedy—perfect for swimming.

    This was our third time staying at this wonderful cottage. We are always happy to return to this special place. The cottage is so welcoming with its tasteful decor and airy feel. The bedrooms make it obvious that the comfort of their guests is a top priority for the hosts. The top quality bedding and superior mattresses were much appreciated by us all. The kitchen is well equipped and we never found ourselves without the necessities to prepare a meal. The floating dock is where we spent most of our days. We appreciate the different seating options and the sun umbrella was a bonus. We've rented a few different cottages in the area, but this is the one we keep coming back to. It's definitely our favourite.

    Was very comfortable for four adults; there were a lot of smaller beds we didn't use, but only one full bathroom might be a bit of a tight squeeze for larger groups. House came with everything we needed to enjoy the lake: towels, floaties, kayaks, life vests, bug spray, and plenty of seating on the dock. Fire pit was excellent and stocked with firewood. A few fans were provided but it might be good to bring some extra for hot days given there's no AC. Kitchen is mostly well-stocked, and Kim was very communicative even though things went smooth and we didn't need much. The wifi was pretty slow, but enough for necessities (though honestly that was probably a plus for me).Best part for me was the sunroom, which is cool and comfy throughout the day and overlooks an absolutely gorgeous view of the lake and the well-kept pathway down to the dock. My fiancée proposed to me on a cool, sunny day and that vista made for the perfect moment. So I'm a little biased, but I loved every minute here.

    Our overall impression was excellent. Comfortable, tasteful decor with lots of room and amenities for a family to relax and have fun at the cottage. The view from the cottage and the dock was beautiful. Be sure to get up early to catch a gorgeous sunrise. Kim was an excellent host. She was sure to provide you with all the information you needed to make your stay trouble free and was available to answer your questions. I would recommend Kim’s cottage to friends and family and would love to book again .

    I have a few health issues, so I found the walk down (and up) to the lake quite challenging. Also some areas of the walk were covered with pine needles making it quite slippery. The rest of my group didn’t have a problem.

    Overall we enjoyed our stay. The cottage is on an excellent part of lake with beautiful views and great swimming and there is a lovely provincial park with enjoyable hiking very close by. The floating dock with ample seating is a highlight and a great place to spend the day. The dwelling itself is cute but damp with awkward lighting and an extremely unreliable wi-fi connection (just don't expect to do any work or be able to finish watching a movie). There are a few things that could be addressed to make it more pleasant: broken curtain rod and trim, smelly fridge with water leaking out from under the large produce drawer, old broken items lying around outside and stuffed under the docks, moldy window sills, gaps in the faux flooring, peeling/rotting outdoor furniture. The canoe is missing paddles and a front seat, which contributed to a dramatic capsize and rescue operation for our group and a squishy walk home off someone else's property from the nearest dock - be sure to wear a life vest and bag your phone! We did not use the bunkie as it smelled and a previous guest had left their clothes in it. The beds are extremely squishy, so be prepared to end up on one of the very comfortable couches instead. The shower is great and has the best water pressure in the place. It is hard to see to do the dishes (there are no lights over the sink). (Note: the lockbox is at the front door, not the back door as instructed, and the wi-fi network and password provided by Vrbo are incorrect.)

    Felt like home as soon as we walked through the door. Lots of space and very comfortable, especially the beds. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and not having to worry about brining our owns sheets and towels was nice. Very clean too. Down at the water, the dock had lots of seating. The water was really clean and deep off the dock and a good temperature already considering it was only June. The lake was big enough to paddle for a couple hours and still not explore everything. And the location of the cottage was far enough away from the main boat lanes that they didn’t disturb us with noise or waves. And our host was great. Timely on the information and checked in to see if all was good, but then left us alone to enjoy the cottage. Just the right level of attention.

    A memorable stay for my wife and I, our 3 adult kids, son in law and infant grandchild. Bedrooms for everybody and plenty of space for boardgames and eating together. The lake view is terrific with peaceful early morning sunrises. We had very hot weather so the cottage could get hot but with fans (no AC) and dips in the lake we stayed comfortable. We enjoyed using the kayaks to explore the bay. Kim provided great instructions and the cottage was well outfited. Remember to bring suncreeen and bug spray.
