A Day in the Life: Staying in the Loyalist Lakehouse

Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of water lapping against the shore and the sun filtering through the trees. You smell the scent of summer and can still taste last night's tea on your lips.

This is a typical morning at the Loyalist Lakehouse, a 200-year-old farmhouse nestled in the heart of Prince Edward County. With 75 feet of private waterfront and 3.5 acres of trees, lawn, and meadow, this perfect retreat offers a perfect blend of history, comfort, and natural beauty.

Morning Serenity

Your day begins with a fantastic breakfast in the large, well-equipped kitchen. The room is filled with natural light, thanks to its numerous windows, and offers stunning views of the surrounding fields and the Adolphus Reach. As you sip your morning coffee, you can watch the gentle breeze rustling the leaves and enjoy the tranquility that comes with being surrounded by nature. Making breakfast in the kitchen is truly a culinary heaven. It has everything you need to prepare gourmet or simple meals. From modern appliances to ample counter space, it is just perfect.

Exploring the Grounds

After breakfast, take a stroll around the property. The 3.5 acres of land provide ample space for exploration and relaxation. Wander through the meadow, take in the sights and sounds of the trees, and perhaps spot some local wildlife. The private waterfront is just across a quiet road from the lawns, offering a perfect spot for a morning swim or a peaceful paddle in the shallow waters. There is also a firepit ambiance with chairs where you can take in the morning views before setting it up for a cozy night under the stars.

Mid-Morning Activities

For those with children or pets, the Loyalist Lakehouse is a haven of family-friendly activities. The shallow, walk-in access to the lake is ideal for little ones to splash around safely, while the 40-foot dock provides a perfect spot for fishing or simply soaking up the sun. The property is also pet-friendly, so your furry friends can join in the fun. The water temperature is perfect for summer so swimming and floating is very fun.

Lunch with a View

Return to the house for a delightful lunch on the stone patio. This outdoor space, complete with a barbecue, is perfect for enjoying a meal with family and friends. The views of the water and fields provide a picturesque backdrop for your dining experience, making every meal a special occasion.

Or, you can eat in the cozy dining room for more comfort and space. It is very bright and also has amazing views through the windows.
