Welcome to By-the-Bay Cottages!

We are located in the beautiful, historic, pastoral, serene setting of Black River, South Marysburgh, Prince Edward County, approximately 14 km SE of Picton.

Drive down Morrison Point Road past historic farms, grazing sheep, horses and goats, 200 year old stone walls, the amazing Vicki's Veggies, honey and farm fresh egg stands to reach 78 Wilolea Lane.

Our cottages face directly on to Smith's Bay, just in off Lake Ontario.

You will experience beautiful sunrises, glistening blue waters, be entertained daily by swans, ducks and an array of birds and wildlife, and relax nightly under dark, starry skies by your own private campfire.

    The cottage was very nice. Everything was clean (a bit buggy in the cottage), but still comfortable. They do have bug catchers, and it is surrounded by nature so the bugs are to be expected.It wasn’t as private as I thought it would be, there were two cottages right next to us and we shared a dock. So it was a bit trafficky that way. If you are looking for a more isolated experience this cottage is not for you.DT and wineries were pretty close 20-40min, so that was nice.

    We had a fantastic long weekend getaway at this charming cottage by the lake in Prince Edward County. The cottage was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Its lakeside location provided a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, perfect for unwinding, yet it was conveniently just a few minutes' drive from downtown Picton, where we could easily find restaurants and shops, and also a short drive from wineries. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, and made my birthday weekend extra special.

    Our Labour day long weekend here was lovely. Very welcoming cottage and easy to get to. Great amenities nearby as well for all the things you might need last minute like water for drinking. Judy was a sublime host and made our stay here splendid. Nice get together with old friends that was so special and wonderful to feel at peace by the water.

    My family and I just spent a week at cottage B of By the Bay Cottages and we loved it! The owners, Judy and Jim, were incredibly friendly and made themselves available if we needed anything during our stay. The cottage was very clean, well-stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen, comfortable and cozy. The waterfront location is beautiful! My kids loved playing on the property with either the basketball hoop, swing set, in the sand, or just in and around the trees. They especially loved being able to swim right from the dock. The cottages are located perfectly in Prince Edward County, with anything we needed just a short drive away. We would recommend this place to anyone and hope to come back again in the future.
