From the owner

Troy Lake Gem, this is a fantastic vacation spot with a three bedroom cottage plus a separate sleeping cabin. Two of the three bedrooms have a queen size bed, the other bedroom has a double bed. The sleeping cabin has a double bed and standard size bunk beds. There is also a futon in the living area if required.

Located on a small quiet lake about 45 minutes north of Kingston and 1.5 hours from Ottawa. Potable water is supplied from a drilled well.

Fishing is excellent and there is a canoe and a paddle boat for use by renters.

The fire pit is on the point and provides a beautiful site for viewing the stars. Wood is provided.

Peaceful yet close to shopping and golf if you need a break!
