About this property

Woodsy hillside cottage with water view

PEC STA License: ST-2019-0101 R3
Come stay at this woodsy hillside location with a gorgeous water view. Relax with family and friends in the bright and sunny open concept living-dining area, or hang out in the back by the fire pit. Just 10 minutes from Picton’s restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. It’s also about than 20 minutes from Sandbanks Beach. We are just a 10-15 minute walk (1 minute drive) from the Glenora Ferry (free), which can connect you to the road to Kingston. Lake on the Mountain itself is also a very short drive - with stunning views and two restaurants open during the peak season. Diamond J Horse Ranch is on the road toward Picton. And this is just what is immediately nearby! There is so much more to see and do in the area: wineries, breweries, antique shops, art galleries, fine dining, and an escape from the city!

Beautiful location pictures do not do justice!
I booked this location for my sisters 40th birthday. The house is located a short drive from Picton and the property is surrounded by beautiful trees. The deck was the perfect spot to have morning coffee with the fall leaves. The house was immaculately clean, well decorated and had so much charm. Christine was easy to communicate with and responsive. We felt right at home here for our two night stay. The one and only thing is we were 6 ladies getting dolled up for dinner and such and there is only 2 mirrors(bathroom and bedroom) so we had to get a bit creative. Otherwise a perfect stay. Thank you Christine!

Cottage escape and beach days!
I lucked out and managed to book the 1977 just in time to salvage a family vacation in the wake of Covid cancellations. Despite the scramble, I am incredibly happy with the property and would like to book again in the future. The cottage is easy to find nestled in a wooded area, off the main road, up a hill. You can see the water through the trees, but our favourite part of the property was that it is surrounded by nature. My kids spent a lot of the time looking at creepy crawlies, catching frogs, and trying to 'rescue' caterpillars and butterflies. Do note though that because you are in a wooded area, some of Mother Nature's creepier creatures will make it inside the house! The cottage is extremely well equipped, especially the kitchen amenities; champagne flutes to dual Keurig and drip coffee maker, ample selection of a variety of dishes and food storage, and a water cooler! I found everything I would use at home and cupboards were well labeled and very clean. We planned to use the fire pit for roasting marshmallows but the night we wanted to do it, it rained, and we ran out of time before we had to pack up. I recommend it though, the pit is really cute with the colourful chairs and the instructions for the burn permit are clear and easy to follow. In fact, the instruction binder makes everything pretty clear. We did have some internet connection issues but we resolved them on our own. Who needs Netflix when you have caterpillars? (p.s. Don't touch the white spiky ones!) While there is only one washroom, it was clean and well equipped. The shower and toilet were clean and the extra supply of bath and hand towels was greatly appreciated. Note: If you're going to visit Sandbanks Park while staying at the 1977, get there before 10am or you'll get stuck in the line-up or turned away. Thanks for including a free park pass with the rental! Woo, pass holder lane! Probably saved us 40 minutes waiting in the line! The beds are comfortable and firm, the master slightly more so. The kids' bunk room has a closet full of board games, puzzles, building blocks, and books. All bedrooms were equipped with fans and there is an AC unit in the living space which does a fantastic job of cooling the main dining/living area. Contacting the owners was fluid. I'd send a message and get a response within hours. They were always happy to help and quick to reply. I'm sad to see the vacation end. Would like to stay again next year!

Perfect property for my family
Very clean apartment. The owners managed to make our stay easy. We are a family of 5 and it was perfect for us. There was plenty of toys and books for my kids in addition to board games and Netflix for rainy days. We had the feeling the owners pay attention to the details and it paid off. We will come back next year for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Chris Ford & Christine Swan

Host profile image
He's an Ottawa-born person with East Coast roots, and she's a Torontonian going back a few generations. The County is almost smack in the middle, so it was just a good fit!

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting the County for several years now, and decided to take the plunge and invest in the area. When we drove up to our place during the glory of fall colours, we fell in love with it right away. We hope you will enjoy your morning coffee looking out over the water, or a glass of wine around the fire pit at night.

What makes this property unique

We are just far enough out of town for you to feel like you have a private getaway, but close enough for a quick grocery run! The trees that surround the property provide a lush summer setting. We have a beautiful open concept living and dining area perfect for friends and family to enjoy time together.

The kitchen is fully equipped with what you need to prepare your favourite meal, but you can also enjoy the many wonderful restaurants that Picton has to offer! (Bloomfield and Wellington too!)
