Pigeon Lake Lakefront Cottage

This was the worst cottage I have ever been to in my entire life without exaggeration. The location was so spectacular; in the beautiful kawartha lakes, lake front on pigeon lake, an hour and half from Toronto. I’m deeply disappointed at the lack of effort that was put into such a great spot. To keep it short, the kitchen was overwhelming under stocked. Every appliance: Coffee maker, kettle, pots, pans, the oven, the toaster, and the grill was horribly caked on with grease, crumbs, and burnt black to a crisp. The entire posting was false advertisement because there was no tea, no paddles for the kayak, and barely any utensils. The glasses and mugs in the cabinet were cracked which is extremely dangerous. These items should have been discarded/replaced. The overall all cleanliness was enough however there was hair in the beds, bathroom, and pet fur all over the sofa. I’m no one to expect perfection but the neglect of the place was obvious. We all had quite the ah-ha moment when we saw someone hammer in a “For Sale” sign at the front of the house. I truly hope the new owner loves and revives this cozy cottage and brings it back to life.

We were very happy with the cottage, which was clean and had everything needed for a short stay. Great wildlife, birds, foxes, beavers all viewed from the property.

Our host was great. The bedroom and bathroom on the main floor were a selling point for us.

Excellent cottage, great location, responsive host, well stocked kitchen. Best for families with kids I believe.

The place was what we had hoped. We had some bad luck with certain things but the owners were very accommodating and communicative.

The area was great. We enjoyed seeing swans, a blue heron and beautiful fox that visited early one morning. The area is great for canoes, kayaks and the peddle boats were fun. Linda was great to communicate with. The General store near by was so cute and the baking they sell is so yummy. The chip stand there has the best gravy. Great stay. Thank you

Location was wonderful.

The no swimming was an issue. A few little.issues. Overall a comfortable get away.

The cottage was very neat and clean. Very well equipped. Linda is vey pleasant and easy to contact. Really enjoyed our stay and want to go back.

Great location, close to the water, close enough to town. We really loved the lake view from the second floor.

Our stay was wonderful. The hosts, Linda and Shawn were amazing! Even had a short visit with Shawn who sweetly greeted us with a bottle of wine for my husband’s 60th birthday. Very clean accommodations and a beautiful scenery to wake up to. Perfect stay for our pup as well. Highly recommend this vacation home in the Kawarthas! Especially now with the beautiful Fall scenery. Looking forward to coming back!

A great little cabin great for family or couples weekend! A few little idocincrecies, but nothing major and all part of time at the cottage

We had a wonderful, peaceful and relaxing stay at this lake front cottage. We will definitely recommend it to our family and friends and even re-visit. Thank you,

Really impressed with the cottage. Very clean, incredible view and relaxing atmosphere. Really quiet road to take walks or bike ride. Perfect place to getaway for a week or more. Overall a fantastic stay. Brand new BBQ and all appliances, kayak, canoe, etc all in great condition. 10 out of 10.

Perfect space for a quiet and relaxing vacation. Property was clean and well appointed. Great for canoeing and observing birds and wild life. We saw muskrats and great Herons. Lots of space to stretch out and see the stars We would return here

Great for families; we went with two young kids and grandparents. Very well located and included many necessities. Host was very responsive.

Great fishing only draw back was too weedy to swim. Overall had a great time. Linda was a perfect host.

It is clean and well equipped. The host is very helpful. We have a wonderful stay!
