I wanted to move into the Lilac Lakehouse and never leave. The property was much larger than I expected — plenty of room to set up our badminton net and play football and soccer. We adored the dock and made good use of the paddleboards and also used our own kayaks. Was the ideal spot for my morning cup of tea and a good book :) Neighbours introduced themselves as they kayaked by and my kids loved visiting the goats who live across the street. It’s really the ideal setting for the next Hallmark Christmas movie. The house was spotless and designed right out of a magazine. So many thoughtful touches throughout the house made this place truly unique. Went with my family of 5 and my brother’s family of 5 and we always had lots of room. The outdoor kitchen was amazing and a good spot for happy hour :) The drive to Sandbanks and Picton was easy and picturesque. Looking forward to coming back here!

A Perfect Lakeside Getaway! We recently spent a week at the Lilac Lakehouse in Cressy with our three teenagers and had an absolutely fantastic holiday. The property is incredibly peaceful and relaxing — the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some quiet time away. The house was spotless and very well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights was being able to dock our pontoon boat right on the property, which made exploring the lake super easy and convenient. The hosts were lovely, especially Andreea, who went above and beyond with helpful recommendations for things to do in the area. Her local tips really made our trip special. This was truly one of the most enjoyable and stress-free vacations we’ve had. We’re already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of staying at this stunning lakeside cottage in Prince Edward County, and it was nothing short of spectacular. With a group of ten, we were looking for a place that offered both comfort and space—and this property delivered in spades. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted by refined elegance. The décor strikes the perfect balance between cozy and upscale, with stylish furnishings, spacious rooms, and high-end touches throughout. Every detail has clearly been thoughtfully curated—from the gourmet kitchen to the spa-like bathrooms. Nestled right on the lake, the views were simply breathtaking. Whether sipping coffee on the deck in the morning or enjoying a glass of wine as the sun dipped below the horizon, the waterfront setting made every moment feel special. A private dock and pristine shoreline added to the sense of serenity—and yes, we made the most of it. Despite our large group, we never felt cramped. The layout is ideal for families or friend groups, with plenty of gathering spaces as well as quiet nooks to unwind. Whether lounging indoors or grilling outside, the cottage facilitated connection and relaxation in equal measure. This rental exceeded our expectations. If you're looking to treat yourself to a luxurious retreat surrounded by nature’s beauty, this lakefront gem in Prince Edward County is the perfect choice. We left feeling completely recharged—and already dreaming about our next visit.

What a wonderful group to have at the Lilac Lakehouse! Thank you, Dom, for the kind feedback. I’m glad you felt the house was spacious enough to comfortably host everyone, with enough spots to spend time together and retreat!

Beautiful home - didn’t feel like a rental. This home has had a lot of thought and attention to detail. We were delighted with the layout, furnishings, appliances and everything else. We had the benefit of being one of the first to stay there which had an element of risk - however this was dispelled the moment we walked through the door. Highly recommend the home and the host. Enjoy BUT look after Lilac house so many others can enjoy.

The Lilac Lakehouse was the perfect escape from the city, a peaceful retreat where my friends and I could truly relax and recharge. From the moment we arrived, we loved how open and airy the space felt, with natural light pouring in and highlighting every beautiful detail. The common areas and bedrooms are all spacious and beautifully appointed, designed with so much thought and care. Everything was impeccably clean, which made settling in effortless. As someone who loves to cook, the gourmet kitchen was a dream come true. Fully equipped with high-end appliances and plenty of space, it made preparing meals a joy and brought everyone together around food and conversation. The quiet, lakeside setting was incredibly calming. We especially loved practicing yoga on the deck overlooking the water, a serene way to start the day and connect with nature. It was exactly the kind of mindful relaxation we needed. This getaway exceeded every expectation. The Lilac Lakehouse is an ideal spot to unwind with friends, enjoy nature, and savor all the comforts of a beautifully designed home. We can’t wait to return!

We had an incredible stay at Lilaclakehouse Cottage! From the moment we stepped inside, we were struck by the stylish, elegant decor—a perfect blend of comfort and sophistication. The living area features plush seating, tasteful accents, and large windows that let in natural light and showcase the stunning lake views The result is a space that feels like a boutique retreat—elegant, welcoming, and effortlessly relaxing. The gourmet kitchen was a dream come true for anyone who loves to cook, fully stocked with everything we needed (and more) to create memorable meals. The spa-like bathrooms felt like private retreats—serene, calming, and beautifully designed. But one of the true highlights was the lakefront view. Absolutely stunning. We spent every morning and evening on the dock, coffee or wine in hand, simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. The outdoor BBQ area made dining a joy, especially with that gorgeous natural backdrop. Lilaclakehouse Cottage is the perfect blend of luxury and nature. If you’re looking for a place to relax, recharge, and truly unwind, this is it.
