Cottage in Lakefield

Welcome to Hello Sunshine, our cozy 5-star Airbnb tucked among the cedars near Lakefield and Bridgenorth. This calming, Wi-Fi-free retreat is perfect for unplugging and reconnecting with nature. Enjoy original wood floors, a private dock, firepit, tetherball, canoe, and two kayaks. We’ve created a peaceful, intentional space for slow living and real connection. Come experience the magic—every season brings something special, and every visit leaves you feeling refreshed. The space We truly adore our cottage and hope you’ll feel just as at home during your stay. It’s a special place that we care for deeply, and we kindly ask that you treat it with the same love and respect you would your own space. 🚭 To keep the air fresh and welcoming for all guests, no smoking or vaping is allowed inside the cottage. We also ask that anything with a smoke scent be kept outside. 🐾 Well-behaved dogs are welcome—we know how much joy they bring! However, due to allergies, we ask that no cats stay at the cottage. Please clean up after your furry friend before you leave. 💬 If something gets damaged or broken during your stay, please let us know. We understand that accidents happen, and we truly appreciate your honesty. A fair charge will apply to help us replace or repair things so that future guests can enjoy the space too. 🧻 We provide 4 rolls of toilet paper per stay. If you’re staying longer or with a larger group, you may want to bring a few extra just in case. 🛏️ About linens: In order to keep the cottage fresh, cozy, and affordable, we ask guests to please bring their own pillows, comforters, and towels. We know this might feel like an extra step, and we’re so grateful for your understanding. Many guests actually enjoy the comfort of having their own familiar bedding, and it helps us ensure a consistently clean and cared-for space for everyone. 📶 You’ll also notice that there’s no Wi-Fi at the cottage — and that’s on purpose. We’ve created this as a place to unplug, slow down, and truly reconnect with each other and nature. Without digital distractions, guests often find more time for laughter, deep conversation, board games, stargazing, and simply being present. It’s a little retreat from the busy world, and we hope you’ll embrace the peaceful rhythm it offers. 📍 A little note on nature: The cottage is located on beautiful Chemong Lake, which can be weedy in some areas depending on the season. For the clearest swimming, April, May, and June are typically the best months. ♿ Please note: Unfortunately, the cottage is not wheelchair accessible, as there are stairs leading into the entrance. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. 🌿 Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Whether you're here to rest, explore, or simply be still, we hope the cottage brings you the same sense of peace, joy, and connection that it brings to us. Wishing you a stay full of fresh air, meaningful moments, and the kind of quiet that stays with you long after you leave. Other things to note Our cottage is nestled in a peaceful area, with some neighbours living here year-round. We kindly ask that you honour the calm and quiet atmosphere they cherish—both during the day and in the evening. Cedarwood Lane is a privately maintained cottage association road, and we ask that you please drive slowly and respectfully, observing the 20km/h speed limit. If you smoke, we ask that you do so with care and ensure all cigarette butts are properly disposed of to help keep the property clean and beautiful for everyone.
