The Little House

Our most romantic cottage is feet from the lake!

In the Little House, the free-flowing living space features a modern design with cathedral ceilings, a skylight and a wall of glass that allows the lake to take center stage. As in the other living spaces, there’s a TV and a Malm fireplace, and it’s easy to kick back, relax, and enjoy the views. Its deck sits over the water with steps leading right into the lake.

When it’s time to dine, there is a table for four in the Little House, as well as outdoor dining.

Outdoor Amenities

The Little House has its own private lakefront deck overlooking all the amazing resort-style amenities at our property. Relax on your deck and watch the kids play by the lake. Get out on the water on the provided canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, and paddleboats. Bring your boat and use our boat launch, or rent one from us – we offer fishing, pontoon, and speed boats all on-site.

If you’d rather stick to the land, you can fish right from the dock and use the fish cleaning hut. We also have bikes for your use, a basketball/pickleball court, volleyball/badminton, a playground for the kids, an outdoor shower, a fire pit, outdoor billiards and a ping pong table, two hot tubs, and more. Dine al fresco at the outdoor table, take in the views from the lakefront swing, enjoy a drink at the Tiki bar, or gather with friends and family in multiple outdoor lounge areas.

When you visit in the winter, experience the lake like never before as it freezes and transforms into your own ice skating rink just steps from your cottage. You’re going to love it here!

The Neighborhood

Located in South Frontenac, midway between Toronto and Montreal, Bobs Lake is rural Ontario’s largest wilderness lake. The biggest draw of this area, which is approximately 7 hours from NYC, is the incredible access to such pristine wilderness. Surrounded by hundreds of lakes, forests, and hiking and biking trails, it’s dotted with small villages like Westport, just 22 minutes away, where you can eat fish and chips, buy fudge, and get pizza at the winery overlooking the lake. The cities of Perth and Kingston are also just 45 minutes away. Bobs Lake is a great place to escape with the family and get away from it all.

What they are saying about The Little House

Views of lake creates an atmosphere of cottage living. The bedroom & hot tub views are beautiful. A suggestion: to cut shrubby around birch bark tree opening clearer view. A non-slip mat needed for the hot tub deck. An outdoor drying rack for towels useful. Ideal if two decks connected. The 2 Lake House rentals are situate very close. During 5 night stay our neighbours, deck/hot tub at Lake House had no privacy. Our unit came with a pull out privacy screen but does little to offer privacy. Boating opportunities include peddle boats, canoes, stand up paddle boats at door step. The beach is shared! Boat launch area should be relocated as distraction. Pets are permitted. Rules request dogs on leash however renters/staff let dogs wander. One would expect a honeymoon cottage with items of romance - his & her robes etc but missing. When removing bedding, no mattress/pillow protectors. Good hygiene suggestion during busy rental season. Overall lovely cottage which wish to return.

Our experience at the honeymoon house was amazing! The cabin is clean and beautiful, the lakefront view is breathtaking plus there’s so much to do on the property (canoes, kayaks, badminton, boat rentals, tiki bar and more!)

Marla and Larry were excellent hosts, very friendly and responsive. They are continuously improving their property to ensure the guests enjoys their stay and have an amazing and unique experience which is truly wonderful.

Thank you Marla and Larry.

We loved our stay and we will certainly be back! 🙂

The cabin was absolutely amazing. Romantic, cozy, clean and has every amenity you could ever want. The staff on the property are friendly and helpful and we will absolutely be back.
The only advice I’d give is to make sure you have all the check in info before you head on the road because you quickly lose cell service as you get closer to the property and that made accessing check in info tricky. But other than that it was a DELIGHT. One of my new faves ❤️

The Little Cottage was just as advertised: charming, steps from the lake, perfect for a visit of a few days. The on-site team was extraordinary, very responsive, super friendly and helpful. Look forward to a return visit.

Great romantic getaway! Highly recommended if you like the outdoors especially in the fall.

This was an absolutely dream vacation. Exactly as advertised and more. The kitchen felt like it was tailor made for us, air fryer, ice cream maker and fully stocked utensils and tools meant we were able to cook whatever we wanted.
The views in the living room, bedroom and from the hot tub were gorgeous.
We rented kayaks and loved being able to just walk out of the place to the beach and hop in to paddle away.
All the staff was lovely and offered us lots of suggestions about what to do and where to go on the water.
This was the most relaxing time my husband and I have had in a long time. We will 100% be returning.

Thanks Marla for having us at your property Aug. 2-6th. My husband and I had the opportunity to get away just the two for the first time in 10 years. We really enjoyed the cottage itself - so well appointed. Loved all the details and found the bed very comfortable. We brought our two small pups and REALLY enjoyed the dog friendliness of the property.

The only challenge we had was were sandwiched between three families who had rented the cottage on either side of us. The families had multiple kids and we did not feel as though the 'shared' waterfront was useable for us. The pictures of the cottage did not show the proximity to the cottage directly beside us. Privacy was a bit of an issue.

Overall we did really enjoy our stay and would definitely consider renting a more private cottage on your lovely property.

We had a great stay at The Little House! Location-wise, it can’t be beat. We wanted a quiet spot where we had access to a lake for swimming and where we could stay put for a few days. Marla’s spot was perfect for that! While there are a few cottages/rentals on the property, we felt like we had plenty of privacy throughout our stay.
Emily 7/02/2021
Great stay, fantastic hosts.
Ideal calm and romantic gate away.
The place is super clean , facing sunset every evening!
We will definitely come back!

The cottage is picture perfect. We liked the fresh flowers and comfy bed. We had a double kayak for the duration of our stay and you can take it towards the right to the end of the lake and there are tons of water lillies. We saw lots of critters and birds and there weren’t too many bugs. We had the whole grounds to ourselves when we booked mid-week, which was great.
