About this property

The holiday of a lifetime is waiting for you.....on Nottaway Island, Clear Lake. Located only 15 minutes north of Huntsville, a short boat ride about 200 metres and you are on your own private island.

Follow the sun from deck to deck around the island. The day begins on the main dock with coffee and the reflection of a perfect sunrise on the calm waters of Clear Lake......next stop is light house point at the north end of the island, where the sun shines all day long. If you are looking for a little exercise after lunch then a stroll along the path to the south end where you can wade into the crystal clear waters of the lake. Finally back to the cottage for sun-downers on the main deck and enjoy a spectacular view of the lake as another perfect day comes to an end on Nottaway Island.

This open concept two bedroom, two bathroom cottage has all the comforts of home yet has the feeling of being away from it all. The third bedroom, which is located in the Bunkie, overlooks the lake and is a short stroll from the main cottage. It affords quiet privacy for couples or a hangout for boisterous teens.

The well equipped kitchen has all the amenities needed to prepare a gourmet meal . A large double grill propane BBQ is waiting for you.....just add your steaks and grilled vegies and you are 'good to go'. Dining on the front deck surrounded by mature pines, birch, maples and 180 degree view will transform your dining experience.

No cottage holiday is complete without a nightly bonfire. Just steps away from the deck is a large fire pit and Muskoka chairs to enjoy the fading light of the day and a perfectly toasted marshmallow.

Perfect vacation!

We were pleasantly surprised by this fantastic cottage. They really thought of everything from the watersports equipment to the separate lake-facing bedroom Bunkie to the multiple decks/docks from which to enjoy the view/fishing/swimming. We enjoyed meals outdoors and nightly campfires. Even one day when the weather was not great there was plenty of games provided indoors to entertain us. The location was ideal enough to drive out to Huntsville, enjoy a hike at Brook's Falls, and check out the local chocolate and toy shops. Our whole family had a peaceful, relaxing getaway!

Best rental ever! We would go back again every year!

They have thought of everything. The property is very well maintained. The beds were comfortable and we really could not hope for more. Other than the usual mosquitos it was perfect.

Very relaxing and beautiful place. Has virtually everything you would need

Nottaway Island has everything you would need. Great fishing, swimming, jumping off the docks, kayaking, canoeing, and boating are just a few to mention. Sue and Craig think of all the little touches like the welcome basket which included treats with our toy poodles name on it! When do you get the chance to rent your very own island with beautiful views of the lake out of every window! Our poodle loves to run free and we love the lack of mosquitos. Thanks again for a wonderful holiday.

Great Vacation! What a tranquil place..

The cottage and Island are beautiful. Everything is provided! We just brought along our fishing gear and some good books and we were all set to enjoy this lovely spot.

About the host

Hosted by Sue Higgs

We are avid outdoor enthusiasts who were drawn to Clear Lake for many reasons. The calm morning waters are perfect for a slalom ski through the 'course' or a free ski after dinner just before the sun sets. Our summer sport is skiing and the lake affords endless opportunities to enjoy and share this passion.

Why they chose this property

How did we decide to purchase Nottaway Island....it was love at first sight.....confirmed by our walk along the trail which runs the full length of island. The mature trees and undergrowth of ferns felt like we were literally wrapped up in the arms of the island. I would even go as far to say that 'the island' chose us and not the other way around. It is a truly unique and special place for all those who have spent time there.

What makes this property unique

It's hard to choose just one unique feature of this property but certainly being an 'island' qualifies Nottaway as unique. You are surrounded by water and yet only a stone's throw to the mainland. Privacy and convenience in an island property with all the comforts of home.....a diamond in the rough for sure.
