Family Cottage (bala Lakeside Retreat) On Long Lake - 5 Min From Bala

Description

Our cottage, The Windsor, has a ‘steeped-in-tradition’, cottage feel, with many tall windows looking out over the water, a sandy beach and over one hundred feet of lake frontage to enjoy. The cottage sleeps a maximum of 16 people.

The Windsor is right at the heart of the open country that surrounds the historic town of Bala, home to the Cranberry Festival, situated on picturesque, peaceful Long Lake, only five minutes from the amenities of the town of Bala.

Through the open rafters above the living room a large loft sleeps five people with one double and three single beds. There is also a two-piece bathroom on this level. The main floor has two large bedrooms, both with queen sized beds and one has an ensuite bathroom. The lower level has two more bedrooms with queen sized beds and a three-piece bathroom with shower.

The main level of the cottage is ideal for reading, board games, lounging or enjoying the best of summer’s cuisine, either indoors or on the adjoining deck. The main living room / kitchen area is a bright and airy open-concept design. The kitchen is well-equipped and has an island that seats four people, making it useful for snacking and meal preparation. In the expansive dining and living room there is a long harvest table for twelve, a plush sofa with a grouping of comfortable, occasional chairs and an old-fashioned wood-burning fireplace. The décor features old pine and traditional furnishings.

The lower level is great for indoor games including air hockey and ping-pong. The ping pong table converts to a scaled down pool table. From this level, walk-out to a fully shaded outside deck, complete with picnic tables great for outdoor dining.

The Windsor cottage has a great waterfront, with a sizable, two-piece dock. Throughout the summer, the lake remains reasonably quiet with very minimal motorized boat traffic. The lot has a gentle slope to the shoreline where the large, private sandy beach will be enjoyed by the entire family.

With a good selection of watercraft, a welcoming shoreline on a clear, clean freshwater lake that is top notch for swimming and fishing, time at The Windsor is sure to be memorable for friends and family.

There is air conditioning at the property. It cools the loft, main two bedrooms and the two bedrooms beside the games room. The two bedrooms in the lower cottage are pretty cool.

In the fall, winter and spring our cottage (without the lower 2 bedrooms and 2 bathroom) is listed through Airbnb. We have been using that website for the last 12 months, so have a great history.
