This slice of heaven was needed. Perfect - Peaceful- and a hidden gem. We would definitely book again when we are in the area. It is the definition of the perfect get away.

We enjoyed our visit to this lakefront cottage. The 50's vibe was very nostalgic for me. The view was so nice, even in the winter. The home is cozy and warm and had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. The area is quiet and safe, and felt very private even with other homes nearby. We ventured out to explore and the locals are so friendly! Wayne and Sue were very responsive to messages. We look forward to staying again in the summertime.

We loved the view of the lake. We visited when the lake was completely frozen and it was cool to sit inside in the warmth and watch the people ice fishing. The host left several special Valentine treats for us too. This was the perfect little lake house.

The check in process was very smooth and simple. Wayne and Sue both responded very quickly throughout the stay to any questions we had. The place was clean, comfortable beds, and had a nice kitchen for plenty of cooking. There were toys/games for the kids to play with and plenty of stores around to grab anything we needed. We got snowed in and had to stay an extra couple days, and they were very understanding and timely when extending our stay. Would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful space exactly as described. An older home, well cared for and decorated creatively. The host was very kind and even had a welcome basket! We appreciated the space, beauty of the lake and clear communication.

Wayne was a great host, responding quickly to questions and providing clear instructions. The home itself was exactly what we were looking for as it provided a comfortable place to return to after a long day out and about. We really enjoyed being able to kayak and having a fire overlooking the lake. We hope to stay again in the future.

We loved our time at Milton’s Cottage and will be back, for sure! Loved having water access. It was very quiet and peaceful. Just what we needed for a weekend away.

Find us

Lake Milton is a rural lake community, so a car is essential for getting around. While we are close to the water, most restaurants, wineries, and grocery stores are a 5-10 minute drive away. Parking: Ample free parking is available on our property. Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate in the area, but wait times can be longer than in the city. We recommend scheduling rides in advance if you have a tight timeline.
