Peaceful Seymour Lake Retreat
Overview Welcome to Peaceful Seymour Lake Retreat, a nature lover's paradise designed to immerse you in tranquility and comfort. As you arrive, the U-shaped driveway provides a convenient and picturesque entry, leading you right to the front door under the inviting covered porch.
Step inside to find the above-ground basement, a hub of entertainment. This level includes a rec room complete with a dry bar, pool table, and dart board, perfect for those times spent indoors.
Ascending a half flight of stairs, you enter the heart of the home—a spacious, open-concept kitchen, living room, and dining area. The kitchen, equipped with modern amenities like a dishwasher, fridge, stove, microwave, and several small appliances, features bar-height seating, making it a delightful spot to enjoy a snack or two. The big dining table, overlooking Seymour Lake, is the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal with a view! Just outside the kitchen door, two BBQ options await on the covered deck, catering to both charcoal and propane BBQ enthusiasts. The living room, with its pull-out sofa bed, adds flexibility, comfortably accommodating up to two additional guests. The TV with satellite channels and access to your own accounts on services such as Netflix can provide hours of entertainment for a movie night with the family.
Continuing up to the third level, you'll find the main bathroom and two serene bedrooms, each with a queen bed and ample natural light from multiple windows. This upper sanctuary ensures restful nights and refreshing mornings, allowing you to fully unwind and enjoy your stay.
The true magic of Peaceful Seymour Lake Retreat lies outdoors. Beyond the covered deck, a campfire bowl surrounded by twinkling lights sets the stage for enchanting evenings under the stars. The expansive yard, featuring a charming creek often visited by ducks, invites you to explore and reconnect with nature. While the waterfront itself isn't swimmable, the abundant wildlife and serene environment offer endless enjoyment for guests of all ages.
Whether you're gazing out over Seymour Lake, lounging on the deck, or savoring a moment by the campfire, Peaceful Seymour Lake Retreat promises a rejuvenating escape, restoring your spirit and reigniting your love for nature.

My family stayed here over Easter weekend and enjoyed our visit. The area is beautiful and the property is nice, since it was still chilly we enjoyed watching the birds on the water from inside. Unfortunately, the wi-fi was down almost our whole visit which apparently was out of the owners control. My only other complaints would be that the main floor was chilly as there is only 2 vents in the main area. The property manager was under the impression that there was electric baseboard heaters which there was not. It was nice to be able to play pool but the dart board only has one dart with it. Overall we enjoyed our stay there and everything else was great!
This beautiful well kept, organized and clean cottage was a nice break away from the city! The view to the lake was calming. Loved the flowers, selection of tree's and the spacious piece of land for our dogs to run around safely. Loved the option of propane and charcoal BBQ. But our most favorite spot was the outside porch, the seating arrangements and the cushion comfort was just perfect for morning coffee and a BBQ lunch/supper. Oh and we suspect that they spray for ‘bugs as we sat nothing came to bother us … that is a very appreciated attention to detail. The little issue we had was one day we had a scorcher and would have appreciated AC. Second one of the screens had a hole , though minor, but enough we got many bugs attracted to the light come in and some of the windows we had difficulty opening. All around great little stay to relax with nature.
This is a lovely cottage, beautiful views, great area. I do however have some things I wasn't happy with, mostly the beds. The beds were not comfortable, most of us did not sleep well. That to me is the whole point of renting a place to stay, is to sleep, if the beds aren't comfortable, I won't be coming back. Also, the place wasn't very clean. Every kitchen drawer and cupboard I opened definitely needed cleaning. The amount of dead bugs in the light fixtures was just gross to be honest. The floors were clean, bathrooms, table tops etc., but not everything was clean. Also, to ask to supply your own toilet paper is a little much.
