Rustic Cottage on Sandy Lake Creek

This unique and family-friendly updated 3 bedroom century cottage/country home has so much for all to do with it's 32 acres of private grounds to explore. Enjoying famous Sandy Lake/Sandy Lake Creek with it's crystal clear water, have a drink by the fire pit, or lounge in the hammock in the wraparound porch. With a dock on Sandy Lake Creek on the side of the cottage you can paddle into Sandy Lake and enjoy a swim, using the kayaks, or paddle board . Although the property is near the main road, there is plenty of grounds to explore in the rear of the cottage.

What use to be a sheep farm nearly a century ago is now a great escape for guests who love the cottage experience which includes Sandy Lake/Sandy Creek, to having the option of exploring the 32acres which is behind the cottage. The extensive grounds are great to hike and maybe even find the beaver damn on Sandy Creek. In the winter months you may cross country ski or snowshoe followed by the warmth of the indoor fire place.

We will be going back

My family and I stayed here this past week and we loved it. It was clean and lots of space but also felt cozy and relaxing. The kids loved that there was toys and games already there. The kids loved the hammock on the porch, catching small fish off the dock, the small playground and going to the beach that was less than a 5 mins drive. My oldest daughter and I got to kayak for the first time using the kayaks at the house. Sandy Lake was absolutely beautiful. The water was so warm. We will definitely be booking another stay in the future.
