The Cottage was designed in 1983 by the present owner, Artist Gregori Robinson. Gregori is best know for his commissioned work in Stained Glass.
May not be safe for small children.
The property is charming and nicer than we were actually expecting. We had regular communication with Gregori, who even offered some above and beyond service in case our vehicle had troubles with the private road (when he suggests a 4x4 vehicle, there is good reason). The bed is one of the more comfortable I’ve ever slept on and the bedrooms (like the rest of the place) are well appointed. I hope to return and experience the property in another season. We saw a number of deer, as well as a snow owl, some blue jays and a lot of loons out on the lake. I’d be curious to see what we spot in the spring. A 100% endorsement without reservation.
Very quiet lake retreat … we enjoyed sitting on the screened-in deck off the main bedroom overlooking the lake.
We had a very relaxing week at this quiet, lovely cottage. The views from both decks are gorgeous; we loved watching the sun rise over the lake. The cottage has everything we needed and is minutes from Perth. We would recommend it.
We had a very nice and quiet week, the view from both decks was beautiful. It was very relaxing lots of loons and geese to watch and listen to.
We had a wonderful stay. and the house is excellent and in a great location.
A wonderful cozy cottage with gorgeous artistic accents throughout. It boasts a tastefully decorated living area with a lot of handcrafted items from the host. The vistas from the two decks are just breathtaking. One of the two decks is screened in, so it is a perfect place to escape the mosquitos in the evening and listen to the owls and loons after dark or spend time outdoors if it rains. This is truly a place to be for all nature and wild life enthusiasts. We spent hours on the dock and deck watching and photographing the beautiful wildlife and birds in this area including bald eagles, hummingbirds, common terns, herons, ospreys, muskrat, water snakes, snapping turtles and so much more. The host provides a canoe so you can enjoy all the beautiful views from the lake. We had a marvelous stay and if you truly want to relax, unwind and enjoy peace and quiet, then this is the place for you!
Beautiful cottage with stunning view of the lake. Gregori our host was gracious and kind. Highly recommended and looking forward to our next visit.
Loved the cottage. Loved all the art. Loved being right on the water - plus two balconies and a dock to look out at the water. I suggest bringing bug spray. Very buggy at night, but that's what you get when you stay in the middle of the woods on a lake. One of the balconies is screened in, which is nice. I also recommend bringing bubble bath to use in the clawfoot bathtub. There was some discrepancy with the pricing - the page said the additional guest fee is $20 and the pet fee is $10, but when I paid, it was $60 for the additional guest and $30 for the pet fee.
We enjoyed swimming and canoeing, and relaxing on either of the two balconies overlooking the lake. Late risers might like to bring eye shades for the early morning sun streaming in to the bedroom. Greg was quick to help us with any questions.
Beautiful spot right on the lake with both a screened in porch and deck overlooking the lake.
It was so peaceful here. Even when it was raining it was peaceful. I definitely would stay here again.
The view was amazing. The cottage was beautiful and relaxing. I would reccomend anyone staying here.
We had a really lovely time, the property is beautiful and Gregori was a great host!
This is the perfect spot for those who love the beauty of a quiet lake and the mesmerizing song of loons as the sun sets. The house is very comfortable and roomy, with great charm and a wealth of interesting art. The screened porch and large balcony are wonderful. We loved it!
A rustic cottage on Otty Lake. Lots of swimming and reading of books. Gregori is a good host who was attentive to our requests.
beautiful lake, quite location, wonderful wildlife, a real get away to nature experience.
My parents and I had a wonderful four nights in June staying at this beautiful space on an Otty Lake. We loved all of the art and beautiful furniture, the large windows in the living/dining area and master bedroom that face the lake, the outdoor and screened in verandas, and how very peaceful and quiet it was in June. Gregory was a wonderful host, easily available by phone and answering all of our questions. There was a canoe there for our use and a dock that we could swim off of, although the water gets deep quickly and there are zebra mussels that require water shoes. It was a 25 minute drive from Perth, which made it easy to get groceries and was also a beautiful town to visit.
If you want to get away from it all , this is the place!! Located on a beautiful quiet lake and easy get to.. Love the balcony to sit out on in the morning, drinking your favorite beverage . The town of Perth is close by , if you forgot or need things. Even though the water is drinkable , would suggest bringing drinking water. Microwave is located on top of the frig , not the best place if you are short. Only double size beds available , needs at 1 queen size bed. No television channels available but a large selection of dvds can be used. A very quiet , relaxing place
