Simcoe Island retreat | Cottage in Wolfe Island
3 Bedroom Cottage in Wolfe Island
Cycle or drive to this charming cottage on Simcoe Island for tranquillity, stunning sunsets, birdwatching, solitude, cycling, kayaking, swimming in clear water. Huge sky. Amazing views. Close to historic Kingston and Wolfe Island.
My home is comfortable and charming, with pine floors, walls and ceilings. It is based on an open concept with huge windows to the southern view of the lake and the western view of the fields and sunset. Most of the furniture is antique and teak pieces from Indonesia.
The cottage can sleep 6 adults comfortably. There is one private bedroom with a double bed. There is one double bed in a conner nook under the loft. There is a queen-sized bed in the loft. And there is an Indonesian daybed in the living room. There are plenty of sheets, pillows, duvets, blankets and towels.
Near the shore there is a 'summer kitchen' which has an extra fridge, sinks, and a shady place to rest beside the shore on hot and windy days.
There are 5 kayaks and one canoe, as well as lifejackets.
There are comfortable Adirondack chairs and old Indonesian egg-chairs by the shore.
The overall feeling is one of tranquility. The huge windows bring the outdoors inside where you can enjoy the ever changing and often quite dramatic sky.
Kayak, canoe, 3 bicycles, comfy chairs, candles. There is plenty of parking.
The house is not posh or fancy. It would not be suitable for those who love luxury, perfection and suburban settings. It is made for those who enjoy a humble home, nature, quiet, solitude, and fantastic views. It is for people who like to 'rough it' with the comfort of an indoor bathroom, fully equipped kitchen and washer-dryer.
There is plenty of water drawn from the Lake Ontario from May until November. But the cottage depends on rainwater in a cistern in the colder months. Guests are advised to use it sparingly. Otherwise, they could run out.
There is a good water purification system, and the water is of excellent quality. In addition, there is a Berkey water filter that delivers fine-tasting water.
Secure access can be a challenge in harsh winters. Some years the ferry runs all year. But other years, the ice closes the channel for a period of up to 2 months between December and March. During this period the ferry cannot run. Islanders cross over the ice by vehicle when the ice is secure. Therefore, be advised that winter bookings may be cancelled if the ferry stops. Be sure to check with Sandra before you book in December, January, February and March.
The Simcoe Island ferry starts early in the morning and closes most nights before midnight.
There are no food stores on Simcoe Island. Bring the food and beverages you need. There is one food store on Wolfe Island (Fargos) and a few restaurants. I highly recommend The Hotel on Wolfe Island.
The cottage is heated by electrical heaters. There is an airtight wood stove. As for support if you don't know how to use one. Sandra or a member of her family can walk you through the process of making your first fire.
