Secluded Cottage Overlooking Montague Bay

Weekly Rentals only. Saturday to Saturday.

Situated behind a grove of birch trees, this custom-built, ten-year old, two-story, cedar-shake cottage overlooks a three mile wide bay -- perfect for sailing or canoeing.

The countryside is green and rolling with meadows and forests interspersed between livestock pasture and potato fields. From the 72' x 12' deck which surrounds the house you will experience fabulous sunsets descending over the Montague River which is visible from Clements Cove to Georgetown. The Lower Montague Wharf is part of the view as are the lobster boats moored next to the occasional yacht.

The well-groomed, two acre lawn in front of the house is surrounded by birch, pine and spruce on all sides - ideal for kids and dogs. The house interior has been recently renovated with a completely renovated kitchen with ceramic tile flooring and European cabinetry. The downstairs full bath now has ceramic tile and a glass enclosed wrap-around shower. There are new solid oak new floors in the living room and new ceramic tile floors in the kitchen and bath and replacement windows throughout. I have just put in a Mitsubishi Heat Pump which will air condition the entire house, The washer and dryer are in the basement and there is cable TV with VCR/DVD player in the living room. Upstairs there are three bedrooms plus full bath: a good sized master bedroom with queen sized bed and a full view of the water, a guest room with a double bed and, a child's bed room with a single bed.

Visitors can swim on the beach 100 yards down from the house, but there are much better beach options within a 5 to 25 mile range. Panmure Island Beach (4 miles) is a Provincial Park and has one of the nicest beaches on PEI. PEI accurately claims The Gulf Stream gives us the warmest waters north of Florida.

Local seafood is excellent, abundant and a bargain. The lobsters, mussels, clams, haddock, halibut, cod and other species are fresh daily at the local supermarket or from roadside trucks in Montague.

The town of Montague is three miles away and has restaurants, super markets, hardware stores, and fitness club with indoor pool and water slide ($35 weekly family memberships). Across the Bay there is the Brudenell Resort (12 miles by car) with 36 holes of championship golf, tennis, horseback riding , windsurfing, and even lawn bowling.

Travel by car is pleasant, but flying to Halifax and renting a car is an option worth thinking about. The trip from the airport to the Wood Islands ferry is about two hours; the boat trip is an hour, and then you have a 25 mile drive to Lower Montague.

This cottage offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Lower Montague cottage is smoke free.
