Family Friendly Stoney Lake Cottage

****Check us out on Instagram @therogersretreat ****

The Rogers Retreat is a family friendly cottage.
From May 1 to Thanksgiving we exclusively rent to family groups of 14 people or less, regardless of age(i.e. infants/toddlers count toward group total), and from the first Saturday in June thru to the second Saturday of September, we rent by the week, Saturday - Saturday. Our outdoor quiet time policy of 930pm is a little too restrictive for groups of adults which is why our May-Thanksgiving groups must be a mix of kids and parents and/or grandparents, etc...

Between Thanksgiving and the first weekend in May, we happily welcome all groups to inquire, families, adult only, etc... We have parking for a maximum of 4 cars, No trailers of any kind permitted on site, boat trailer storage to be arranged by Vacationer through either McCrackens Landing or Carveths Marina.

Cleaning fee is in addition to all rates on rate sheet.
Rate calculator sometimes defaults to US dollars, ensure Canada is selected at the top of page.

This fantastic four season family friendly cottage on Stoney Lake boasts 7 bedrooms, 5 on the main floor (2 with ensuites) and 2 bedrooms on the lower level. The cottage features a large open concept living/dining room with a remarkable view of the picturesque islands of Stoney Lake. The spacious kitchen and dining area are great for entertaining - step out from the living room onto the beautiful deck facing the water and enjoy the afternoon sun capped off by a beautiful evening sunset.
This is the perfect spot for families to vacation during the summer.

We have one tv on each floor with Bell satellite.

After years of searching, we've finally found an internet provider with an okay speed! It is not the the same as city internet, but can usually handle netflix, crave (or whatever service you subscribe to), on the main tv. It can support some regular internet activities but can't support streaming on multiple devices. Also, unfortunately we can't guarantee minimum speeds or that there won't be sporadic and/or weather related unavailabilities from time to time, which is why it is offered free of charge.

Pets subject to owners approval and completion of separate pet contract. 2 pets max per group.
Each approved pet will be subject to $50 pet fee and $200 fully refundable pet deposit.
$200 pet deposit will be returned to you upon successful departure.

Garbage and recycling to be removed by guests upon departure. Three local transfer stations are listed on the contract and should be contacted to ensure hours of operation on your specific departure date, as hours vary by season and the websites aren't always up to date.

Area Info:
We are located only 1hr 45mins from Toronto and 1hr 15mins from the Durham Region.

This cottage has it all...

- Gradual entry perfect for children and deeper water for swimming off the dock

- Beautiful double dock system with ample space to sit and relax (Dock removal is usually scheduled for mid October so please alert us if you plan to bring/rent a boat for any stay after Canadian Thanksgiving and we'll attempt to reschedule the dock removal)

Great space for a family reunion!

We had three families and three generations coming together at Rogers Retreat and it was everything we could have asked for! It's a beautiful property and Chris was wonderful to deal with. Thanks, Chris, for sharing your cottage with us, and for your kindness.

Fabulous family fun

We are repeat visitors and always love our time at Rogers Retreat. The cottage accommodations are lovely, and there are updates happening all the time (love the Reno of the master ensuite). Lots of room for our 3 generational gathering. Lakeside is beautiful and watching sunset from the hot tub is perfection. Chris is an attentive host, very quick to respond to any question before and during our stay. Highly recommend Rogers Retreat.

Incredible winter retreat

I stayed at Chris and family's wonderful cottage for a long weekend with a group of ten friends and we enjoyed it immensely. The space is gorgeous and roomy and offers lots of spots to be together or get away from the group to have some quiet time. The outdoor parts are also lovely, nothing beats sitting in the hot tub and looking out at a gorgeous winter landscape or sitting around a fire. Chris was amazing at communicating with me and very helpful both before and during our stay. All of us would stay at this wonderful spot again in a heartbeat!

50th Anniversary Week

We ranged in age from 75 to 7. The grandkids, and kids loved fishing from the dock. The canoe, kayaks, and paddleboat were well employed. The provided life jackets were great. We didn't watch much tv but a game player was set up downstairs and kept many busy during the rain. Every family cooked for the day and found the kitchen well stocked. Two fridges were really appreciated. A light breeze kept the bugs at bay and the cottage relatively cool. The hot tub was well maintained throughout. We did have a few communication challenges but they were VRBO glitches and had nothing to do with the rental. We had an awesome week.

Great cottage

We stayed at this cottage coming in from BC for a family reunion. There were lots of options for sleeping and everyone got their own room. It was a bit difficult bringing in our own blankets and towels but thankfully we had family in the area to help out. The owners of course also had options for a fee if we were stuck. The owners were responsive to any questions we had and overall we had a great time at Rogers retreat on Stoney lake. The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking and sitting on the docks drinking a morning tea was the perfect start to the day.

We Will Definitely Be Back!!

We had a wonderful time at the Rogers Retreat. Your place is the perfect setup for our family. The highlights are almost too numerous to mention. We, of course, spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the view and cottage life in general. It's a toss-up between the hot tub and water mat over what got used the most. We also enjoyed the fabulous swimming, kayaking, paddleboat and during the evening sitting around the fire pit. We found the cottage to be very comfortable, allowing the whole family ample room to move around, whether we were preparing meals, relaxing or settling in. We loved every minute of it.

Picturesque Cottage

As soon as we stepped in the cottage, the view to the lake was breathtaking. The cottage was very spacious, clean and homey. The hot tub right on the dock near the lake was like a dream. We hope to rent again in the future. Everything was perfect!

A wonderful week in a wonderful cottage!

The location was great, very near to Carveth's Marina for launching our fishing boat and the docks on the property were great. The location near the islands made a sheltered location for our kids to use their kayaks without being on the open lake. The home was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, casseroles and table service. The beds were great and four bathrooms were welcomed by our large group. Chris was very helpful and great to work with. We loved the sun room, my favorite place inside the house. We had all we could eat pan fish and perch two evenings for supper and I caught a walleye!

We'll Be Back Every Year!

This past June we rented the 'Rogers Retreat' with 2 other families and it was a perfect holiday! The cottage was beautifully equipped to handle our big group! We even had room for one more family if we wanted. Stoney Lake is such a gorgeous lake and the double dock, beach water entrance (perfect for the kids) and hot tub allowed us to enjoy all it has to offer. The large front yard allowed us to play baseball, bocce ball, horse shoes, and a great place for the kids to run. There is so many local amenities and we loved walking up the road way for ice cream and dinner. We can't wait to make this an annual trip!

Perfect Getaway

This cottage is perfectly equipped for a large group or several families. It's the right mix of well maintained and relaxing, with a great kitchen and large dining area, a gorgeous view into the lake and many areas outside... Including the awesome 4 season hottub. This was my third time renting it...last time for new years with a group of friends. This time, I had my newborn son and Chris made sure there was a crib set up and had a wide assortment of toys and gear. I can't recommend it highly enough! Lots of trails in the area and an easy drive from toronto. Plus Chris had wine waiting for us.

Amazing cottage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We stayed for four days at Christmas and it was the best Christmas ever. I would like to thank Chris and Nicole for sharing their cottage with us. The hot tub was great, the weather was so nice we played horseshoes and went for canoe ride on lake. We are going to stay here again for sure, beautiful cottage for all seasons, plus great owners to deal with. Thanks again Chris and Nicole.
