If you have been to different lakes in Ontario, you’d probably know how beautiful, large, and clean Rice Lake is. Two Piggies Cottage is a spacious waterfront cottage that faces West, letting you enjoy the spectacular sunsets, everyday. Trust us, when you have seen the sunset here, nothing in life really feels matters but the beauty you are witnessing.
Two Piggies Cottage is a spacious, modern, luxurious 5-bedroom cottage with many features and amenities for a relaxing and worry-free getaway. Two bedrooms on the upper floor have lake views, walkout balcony and KING beds, one other bedroom has a QUEEN bed and another bedroom upstairs has a two TWIN beds (one slides out). On the main floor we have a bedroom downstairs there is a day bed that opens up to King.
Our cottage comfortably sleeps about 10 guests (5 bedrooms). On a case by case basis, we may permit larger group sizes, potentially with a security deposit. Note that group size refer to both adults and children inclusive.
All water at the cottage is UV-filtered and perfectly drinkable, which makes it great for families with young kids. We are also pleased to offer full linen (duvet covers, bed sheets, and pillow sheets) but please bring your own towels.
Enjoy the incredible view of the scenic Rice Lake from the balcony or patio or your own bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are each equipped with King beds with a shared, walk-out balcony for you to appreciate all the beauty of the lake all day. Kitchen is recently renovated for you to create meals that bond people together. The recently upgraded kitchen is fully equipped and includes a Stove, Fridge, Microwave, Drip Coffee Maker, Cookware, Dishes and Cutlery (there are enough cutlery for 10 people which is our target group size, please bring any additional cutlery you might need depending on your group).
