4 Bedroom Cottage in Tweed, Gilmour

FIVE STAR EXPERIENCE NOW BOOKING FOR 2025!
Retreat to this lovely, spacious, unique stone cottage set in 5 quiet acres of woods, its dock on 2.5 km-long, spring-fed lake with herons, beavers, muskrats, otters, loons, elk and a lively group of vultures! The lodging is on the Monarch route, and is an amphibian haven, where other wildlife frequent.
This beautiful four-season chalet has all the modern considerations: dehumidifier, central air/heat pump, central vac, food fridge, beverage fridge, 2 double kitchen sinks, washer/dryer, wall oven (includes convection option), microwave, bread machine, waffle maker, stand mixer, air fryer. Indoors, there is both a handy wood stove and a beautiful fireplace with an insert and fan to circulate heat or cooling. Outdoors, there's a sunken potash kettle fire pit. Substantial outdoor seating is provided for the various areas, and on the covered porch there's a bbq (and, additionally, a smoker for aficionados!)
For anglers, the lake has rock and largemouth bass, perch, brown bullhead, pumpkinseed.
For indoor bonding, a plethora of games, dvds and puzzles will suit most tastes. Fairly extensive, eclectic library. Netflix.
Adventurous, determined sorts (with kayaks or canoes!) may venture up the beaver dam terraces at one end of the lake which leads to a small sister lake. Others may choose to swim Wadsworth's breadth to a lovely rock point (we recommend taking a spotter along in the pedal boat for safety).
2400 square feet. Sleeps 8. 3+1 bdm, as the main floor den has twin bed accommodation. The ground floor bedroom (queen-sized bed) combined with main floor bathroom makes this listing comfortable for those with minor mobility issues. The den is quite soundproof from the main house, suitable for isolating later/earlier activities, or light/late sleepers. Upstairs, one bedroom has a king-sized bed, the other has a queen-sized bed.
Wonderful, drinkable well water gushes from every tap, so the property is completely safe for children; this water is tested regularly, and has never failed. Please protect our environment; we encourage our guests to avoid using plastic water bottles.
Wadsworth Lake is a limestone-based lake, resulting in excellent water quality. A public boat launch is located on the south end of the lake just off Weslemkoon Lake Road.
Internet connection is via Starlink.
Absolutely NO PETS.
In these uncertain times, we are committed to the safety of our guests. Paul's Folly will be thoroughly cleaned and unoccupied for 24+ hours between bookings.

Summary: We really enjoyed the beautiful surrounding trees and small animals. It was a beautiful natural setting with a very nicely equipped cottage. Very unique as it was more elegant than a cottage and having stone accents gave it that rustic Victorian touch. Very private and comfortable. Enjoyed the beautiful water and dock area. Traffic was not too busy but did have some drivers going to fast for cottage Country. Maybe have signs to slow down the traffic. Lots of great sitting areas to enjoy the surrounding ding nature. A very good spot! ❤️

Summary: The cottage is very well equipped and had everything we needed. The two full washrooms, dishwasher and sound proof room were definite bonuses. The cottage is very private, quiet and spacious. Alyson, the host was great. She answered all our questions promptly. and added special touches like the cute stuffies arranged on the bed for our little ones The waterfront was very quiet and private. The swimming off the end of the dock was great with very few weeds. The kids enjoyed making sand castles on the small beach area. The only concern that I feel I should mention is the fence that runs along the side of the road on the way to the water. There is a guard rail fence with metal cords strung between posts that we had to step over. It is two feet high and would be challenging for people who have mobility issues or people who are short. I am 5 feet four inches tall and I was able to manage it. The children who are 3 and 4 years old were able to go under it. But all in all I highly recommend this cottage. We had a great holiday.

Summary: My partner and I stayed at Paul's Folly with our kid's (ages 9, 11, 16). I am so incredibly happy that I found this place. The house was spacious, clean, and fully stocked with everything we could need to enjoy our week. I enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the morning, looking out at the lake and watching the hummingbirds eat breakfast. We spent most of our time fishing of the dock, swimming, and paddling around on the lake. Getting to the lake is just a short walk down the driveway, across the street and down some wooden steps. Even though there's other house and docks around the lake it still felt private and secluded enough. Only the occasional boat passing by. Allison communicated with us the week before our trip, offering helpful tips of what to bring and things to do in the area. She welcomed us when we got in with a phone call and was quick to respond to any questions. It's clear that her and Paul put a lot of attention and care into this place and want people to find as much joy and peace there as their own family does. We even got to try the infamous Paul's Folly waffle maker and it did not disappoint!! *Pro tip* crush up some Oreos and put them into the waffle batter! The area is remote, not a ton in the immediate vicinity we did drive about an hour to enjoy a day at Bon Echo Park which was stunning. The only complaint I had was the mosquitos, which was expected, but if you are prone to bites COME PREPARED! Amazing stay. 12/10 would recommend!!

Summary: We had a marvellous time at this cottage. Alyson couldn’t have been nicer. The cottage was epically stocked, comfortable and spotless. The only thing you may want to keep in mind is that is a less than 2 minute walk to the dock( we timed it), and it is not for those with mobility issues. It’s not treacherous or anything but someone unsure on their feet may find it difficult. The water is magnificent!!! So clean. Enjoy your stay!

Summary: The house was beautiful and clean. The kitchen had everything you need and pots and pans were in excellent shape. The lake was a short walk down the driveway and down a very well maintained set of stairs and a very well maintained dock, where we swam and fished and used the peddle boat. There is a big fire pit and lots of chairs. Everyone had a great time.

Summary: It would have been nice to be there in the summer so we could have made use of the lake but for the most part we were a bunch of oldies so might not have used it too much. We had so much rain. It was awful but we did have decent weather on the weekend and were able to have a fire and play guitars and sing so that was great - maybe not for the neighbors. The place was definitely well equipped and it was great that there were two bedrooms downstairs since we had some people who would have had a hard time climbing the stairs. Several people had some eyesight problems and found that the lighting , especially in the bathrooms could have been brighter. We have not seen most of our family for a couple of years and I had lost a sister during that period so it was very nice to get together with everyone.

Summary: The property is very clearly well loved and maintained. Everything was clean and organized and labelled 🙂 Swimming at the dock was wonderful and we really enjoyed kayaking on the lake. Back yard fire under the stars was exactly the thing we needed. Owners were very quick to respond. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Summary: Beautiful, spacious cottage with everything you need for a break. We loved the various outdoor seating areas which caught the sun at different times of the day. The dock was very well-maintained and we spent many days swimming in the clear lake. In short, a fantastic cottage that we would strongly recommend.

Summary: If you are looking for a very quiet, out of the way retreat to relax and enjoy games and cooking with your family, this place is perfect. Wonderful deck furniture, fireplace and fire pit in the back yard. A little piece of heaven! ... very, very quiet. Not too convenient for water sports or swimming but facilities are awesome.
