Historic but HiTech, modern Burleigh Falls cottage on Stony Lake. Amazing views
This special and scenic historic but modern cottage called Avalon is on a rock cliff overlooking Stony Lake and right next door to the Burleigh Falls Inn. It is a 3 season cottage with 3 spacious bedrooms, a dock, a closed in sunporch and great seating outside. It is a century old but modern and very well maintained, in excellent condition. New comfortable beds. Gas stone fireplace in living room warms up the cottage as needed. Beautifully furnished and decorated featuring work of local artists. Walk down just 6 steps to deep water swimming at the dock where you can keep a boat during your stay close to the Burleigh Falls Lock on the Trent Severn Waterway. This cottage has one of the nicest views on all of Stony Lake and large sitting areas inside and outside where you can enjoy the view. Swim off the dock. We have free EV charging for guests with electric cars. Modern appliances, laundry and WiFi. We are just steps away from the Burleigh Falls Inn where you can shop at the Market or go out to dinner or take out a meal to enjoy in privacy. Bring your own boat or just watch the big yachts go by from the nearby Burleigh Falls locks. Great fishing. We do not encourage large groups and our limit is 6 people for overnight stays. There is a boat house on the property but it is not in use.
We really enjoyed our holiday at Avalon! The host met us to explain the property, and a little "Father's Day" cup with chocolates was waiting for my husband. Family visited us one day for a celebration and everyone loved the cottage. My son was all for booking it next year again. A few people have shown interest when we talked about our experience. Beautiful cottage, small but just perfect for a lake holiday. All the ammenities etc. were outstanding & beds super comfy. Would definitely rent there again.
Amazing location. Everything was accurately advertised. The owners are very communicative. I look forward to booking with them again. Overall, we had a fantastic time :)
The cottage is the perfect size for four although can comfortably accommodate six. It was very clean and has all the amenities and more; i.e. washer/dryer, dishwasher. It is perfect for rest and relaxation and you can swim right off the dock.
It is on the Trent waterway so there is some boat traffic but nothing too hectic. You can enjoy watching them go by in the screened in porch or on the lower deck by the water. Perfect for someone who enjoys water activities, like kayaking or jet skiing. The fishing isn't too bad either.
The hosts, Carolyn and Murray (Leo too) were very accommodating. Thank you for the snacks and bottle of wine. We thoroughly enjoyed them.
We live on the lake and have a cottage for personal use on an island near Burleigh Falls and the Avalon Cottage. We love the area and we are always around (unless we are travelling) to make the place better or help our guests. We are very proud of it.
Burleigh Falls is a beautiful scenic area where there is also excellent fishing, swimming and boating on the Trent Severn Waterway and easy access to facilities like dining next door at the Burleigh Falls Inn.
