Overview ↑↓
There are some terms that get overused and to be honest we think that "hidden gem" might be one of those terms when it comes to real estate and cottage rentals - but then again, sometimes it's exactly the right phrase to use. The Talbot River lazily flows between Canal Lake at Bolsover Ontario, just northeast of Beaverton, and Lake Simcoe. Quite frankly we were surprised to find such a delightful pair of cottages this close to the GTA. At just a little over an hour from the Don Valley/401 interchange, Talbot-by-the-Lake cottages are a perfect choice for an extended family that wants a pair of cottages side by side - perfect for sharing a cottage vacation but allowing each to have some space of their own.
Talbot-by-the-lake - Pineview has a kitchen, dining area, living room and 2 bedrooms and sleeps 5. It has a fire pit, smart TV, Wifi, and is air-conditioned.
While there will be occasional boats passing by, the island in that dominates the view also shields you from the traffic of the Trent-Severn Waterway - which by the way, is also accessible to you should you wish to bring a boat. Swimming from the docks is quite good - the gentle current of the river prevents any excessive weed build up. You may occasionally see some weed carried into the bay from nearby Canal Lake, but these are easily dealt with.
The local store just down the road has what you need for groceries and the basics. Also just on the other side of that island is the Western Trent Golf Club - a nice little 9-hole track for you to enjoy during your stay. Beaverton, Fenelon Falls and Orillia are all within a half hour's drive, each offering something unique to cottage country visitors.
While Pineview is wonderful for a small family, you may want to also rent the adjacent cottage Birchview, allowing for a medium to large family gathering with separate spaces.
