Lakefront Cottage - Discover the Ultimate Summer Retreat
☀️ Summer Highlights • Lakefront cottage with spectacular sunset views • Boathouse hangout + breezy summer sleeping space • Scenic lake great for fishing, swimming, kayaking & paddleboarding • Kayaks & paddleboards included • Cozy indoor dining area for laid back meals after a day on the water • Minutes to historic downtown Port Perry • Easy day trips to local wineries, breweries & live music
The Bickle Cottage is made for classic summer lake living. Mornings are quiet and calm, perfect for fishing or paddling out on the kayaks and paddleboards. Days move easily between swimming, boating activity on the lake, and relaxing by the water.
One of our favourite features is the boathouse, a fun extra space to hang out, play games, or sleep on breezy summer nights. Inside the cottage, the dining area naturally becomes the gathering spot, whether it’s shared meals, cards, games or planning the next day’s adventure.
You’re close to downtown Port Perry for ice cream runs, shopping, patios and casual dining, with plenty of nearby wineries, breweries, and live music for day trips. It’s comfortable, welcoming, and designed for making the kind of summer memories that keep you talking long after you’ve gone home.
Immerse Yourself in Nature Our breathtaking lakefront location sets the stage for year-round fun and relaxation. In the winter months, the lake transforms into a playground for ice fishing enthusiasts and snowmobilers, with scenic skidoo trails weaving through the surrounding landscape. Cozy up after a day of exploration with hot cocoa by the campfire or relax indoors with the warmth of a crackling fireplace.
A Haven for Creativity and Connection Discover your passion or reconnect with old hobbies during a seasonal retreat! Whether you're a quilter, scrapbooker, or simply someone in need of a creative recharge, this is the spot. Relaxing, cozy, perfect for unwinding and nurturing your artistic side.
Looking to host your own retreat? Our cottage is the ideal venue to bring your vision to life. With its cozy ambiance, serene lakeside setting, and versatile spaces, it's perfect for workshops, wellness retreats, or creative gatherings. We’ll work with you to ensure your retreat is as special as the memories you’ll create.
Explore the Local Charm Just a short drive away, the heritage town of Port Perry invites you to explore its unique shops, local cuisine, and enjoy cultural experiences like theater performances at the historic Town Hall. For an extra dash of excitement, the Great Blue Heron Casino is conveniently located across the lake for an evening of gaming and entertainment.
Lifelong Memories Whether you're seeking adventure or solace, our waterfront cottage is designed to envelop you in warmth, happiness, and comfort. From picturesque winter landscapes to evenings of laughter and storytelling by the fire, every moment is an opportunity to create unforgettable memories with loved ones.

The Bickle sisters were great- we really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and we appreciated all the small details and decor. Would 100% stay here again!
Perfect location and a very well maintained property and the owners were very quick in response.
The property was clean and all newly upgraded and well equipped location wise and activities wise. We had an amazing experience and plan to go there again.
Cottage was very clean and easy access to the dock for seniors and kids. A great spot for sure and not too far a drive from the city. Highly recommend!
We had a great family vacation! The Bickle Cottage is absolutely beautiful and one of the best cottages we have stayed at so far! The property is very clean and well equipped with all the amenities - linens, towels, pillows, coffee maker, Wi-Fi and kitchen essentials. Looking forward to another family vacation at the Bickle Cottage!
Our stay was amazing! Lots of comfortable sleeping. Lean, modern cottage. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Would love to stay here again in the future.
Booked for two nights, so we could have a work reunion. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the cottage. The large dining table was perfect for the ten of us. Sunsets were gorgeous. Hope to get back there soon.
This place was best rental I've stayed at yet. Perfect for our group.Absolutely everything you need is there. Such a pretty place and the sunset view is stunning. Will def try to return.
The Bickle Cottage was very cute and quaint !! Karen and Laura were great to accomadate and respond to our messages. This little cottage was very clean, beds were comfortable, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. BBQ was great as well. We would stay again if we were out that way for sure !!!
The Bickle cottage was lovely in every respect. It was both homey and classy. Our family and friends were perfectly accommodated in the bedrooms, large common areas and waterfront. We really enjoyed our campfires, exploring the lake, generous common areas for discussion, games and music. We would love to make this our annual cottage vacation place!
Our stay was was great. The cottage was cozy but with a nice comfortable modern feel. The kitchen was amazing. The views of the lake from the deck were beautiful but even if you wanted to stay inside you could get a great view of the sunset. Bedrooms were all clean with nice beds. Loved how they offered canoes and kyaks aswell. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a waterfront property
I can think of only positives to describe this property. The location, amenities, decor were all A-one. The communication with the owner could not have been better. Overall this is first class.
What an amazing cottage and a great place to get together with friends. It is warm and inviting from the moment you step in. Clean, beautiful decor, fully equipped for all your needs, and a wonderful view with spectacular sunsets. We will definitely be back.
Thank you, Karen and Laura!
We really enjoyed our stay and girls getaway at the Bickle cottage. The Bickle sisters were extremely responsive before, during and after our visit. the cottage is very nicely decorated, clean, cozy and charming. The new boathouse is gorgeous. As we were there Sept mid week it was quiet.The kitchen is well stocked and bedrooms comfortable. Thank you Bickle Sisters!
This property was exactly as shown in the pictures. Very clean, comfortable and a beautiful view of the lake from the back room. Lots of seating for a large group. The owners are awesome and approachable. Very well stocked with kitchen items and towels for our use. There were 7 guests and we didn't find it crowded at all. I would certainly book again.
It was my husband’s 50th birthday and I surprised him with a weekend getaway with friends & family. The Bickle sisters were very hospitable and I was able to do an early check in to set up everything before coming back to the cottage with my husband. The location was perfect bc it was 1 hour outside of the gta. The cottage was very clean and love the decor in the home. You can really feel the amount of love that’s put into their cottage. It was great that we were able to have a fire outside in the month of January and during the day walked outside on the frozen lake. I’m sure we will be back again. Cristina & Francois
Our family of 8, plus two dogs, had an absolutely fantastic time, and made some wonderful memories, over our week long stay.
This cottage has been thoughtfully and tastefully renovated and provides all of the modern conveniences while still keeping the wonderful character and charm of the original cottage.
The kitchen is bright, modern and well appointed. The family/dining room area is open, airy and spacious with a spectacular view of the lake. Beds were super comfy. Greatly appreciated the washer/dryer. Lovely sitting area on the back porch and at the front of the cottage there is plenty of seating and was quite lovely as well.
We would highly recommend this cottage and would love to return one day.
Way to many pluses to list. Ill try anyway. Beautiful cottage interior. Very comfortable. Fans in the room (big plus). Great kitchen island. Seating for family meals around diningroom table or sitting out front enjoying the sun. Good yard with space to enjoy a fire. The only thing that woukd be better is a bit more yard space and entry into the water thats a bit easier. It had everything we needed.
The Bickle Cottage was the perfect size for our family vacation including 6 adults & 2 children. The cottage was clean & well equipped - beds were made up and there were soft, clean sheets on the beds and plenty of bath towels. We brought our own beach towels to use outside. Kitchen had most cooking utensils and some basic spices, food wrap/foil, and small appliances we needed to prepare meals.
The cottage is hooked up to a septic & has well water so be aware that water conservation is necessary. We bought a couple of large water jugs to go on the water tower dispenser to use for drinking & coffee/tea. We loved that it was right on the lake and we had our own dock to park & tether our small boat to. The lake was shallow but be prepared for a mucky, weedy walk into the water (bring water shoes!). Our 2 grandkids loved fishing off the dock and we're excited to catch little sunfish! Cottage owners, Karen & Laura, were prompt when replying to any questions before and during our one week stay. Overall, we had a wonderful family vacation!
Incredible view of the lake! The cottage is spacious and wonderfully interior designed with an amazing kitchen. Everything was well stocked and clean. Overall a beautiful place to stay!
I absolutely loved my stay at this beautiful cottage! The place was spotless, cozy, and full of charm. The view was breathtaking, and every little detail made it feel like home. It was the perfect escape — peaceful, comfortable, and beautifully designed. I can’t wait to come back again!
Property was beautifully decorated and clutter-free. Kitchen was equipped with everything one might require. Many windows in the property enabled us to enjoy the lakeside views and sunset and ice on the water. Plenty of paper products and linens available. Comfortable beds.
