The Space:
Waterfront property located on the shores of Smith's Bay on Lake Ontario, Happiness Haven is a peaceful pet-friendly escape from it all. Just 10 minutes from Picton and minutes to the County's first winery, County Cider Company and Waupoos Marina, there is always something to do. Enjoy the 126 feet of waterfront on Lake Ontario for swimming and boating. The waterfront on this property has easy water access provided by a gentle sloping shoreline. The 30' long dock with a ladder into the water makes exiting the lake after swimming a breeze. Kayaks are complimentary for guests and can be safely launched and docked at this site.

Inside this renovated home find a cozy double-sided fireplace which provides ambiance from both the piano/tv room and the sunroom when the weather turns chilly. The sunroom has 40 feet of windows where one can watch the activities on the bay including kayakers and boaters. The flooring on the main level is made of reclaimed 9" pine boards from 200 year old logs salvaged from the Ottawa River. The three bedrooms on the main floor are super comfortable with Queen beds in each.

On the main level the kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, dishwasher, fridge, microwave, toaster, griddle, coffee maker, slow cooker, kettle, utensils, cookware and dishes. Sit on a bar stool at the kitchen counter and keep the chef company. Off the kitchen you will find a large dining room which seats 10. The patio doors allow for easy access to the large 22' x 10' main floor deck with glass railings and propane BBQ, where outdoor lunches and dinners can be enjoyed.

Downstairs, you will find a large room with separate walk-out entrance and the ability to close off from the rest of the house should you choose. Here you will find two double beds, kitchenette with 2nd fridge (see amenities list for what's included) and a 3 piece bathroom (toilet, shower, sink).
