About this property

Lake View Cottage w/dock on LAKE ISLE AB -kayak & canoe, fireplace, 45min to Edm

This charming 1200 square foot lake view cottage is perfect for year-round enjoyment, located on Lake Isle (1 minute to lake), a fantastic boating lake and ice fishing lake. Guests can take advantage of the beautiful scenery across all four seasons, with activities like canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boarding included in their stay (with life jackets for safety). The property features a private dock for easy access to the water, and in winter, ice fishing is just steps from the door, making it an ideal retreat for all outdoor enthusiasts.

This charming open-concept cottage features vaulted ceilings and lake views, with the primary bedroom and main 4 pc bathroom conveniently located on the main level, complete with a walk-in closet. The well-equipped kitchen includes essential supplies and appliances, while the living room offers a cozy atmosphere with a wood burning fire place, a pull-out couch, satellite TV, and Netflix access. Guests can also enjoy a designated office space, a 4-piece bathroom with a large walk in shower, and separate jet tub. Laundry on premises ideal for longer stays. Double doors lead to a covered patio with outdoor seating, and the upper level contains a loft bedroom with three single beds and a half bath, making it ideal for family or group trips. Mobility/Accessibility friendly since everything is located on the main floor with no steps, the 2nd floor has a 1/2 bath and 3 single bed bedroom.

The property features a private, unfenced backyard with a covered patio complete with a small dining area and BBQ, along with a fire pit available for guest use. In the front, there is a designated covered seating area and a gravel pad that can serve as parking or accommodate a trailer for friends (disclosure and additional fees required), while the long 60-foot concrete driveway provides ample parking options.

This charming home, situated just one house back from the lake, offers views of the Lake from both the living room, main bedroom, and various areas outdoors, although some portions of the view may be partially blocked by trees or nearby cottages. This cottage offers plenty of privacy. Guests enjoy easy access to the lake via a brief 30-second walk through the rear property path, perfect for canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding (included), and leads directly to a private dock that is removed for the winter on October 15th. While the dock won’t be available during the colder months, the path remains accessible for ice fishing, kayaking and accessing the lake.

This home offers pet-friendly (Dogs) accommodations and can host up to 6 guests, featuring a comfortable queen bed in the primary bedroom for 2, three single beds in the upstairs bedroom for 3, and a pull-out couch that can sleep 1 comfortably or 2 if necessary.

The pathway behind your property serves as a communal access point to the lake, owned by the province and intended for shared use by all residents. The blue arrows you mentioned indicate the boundaries of this land, while the blue flagging on trees by other property owners suggests efforts to protect their private property and discourage trespassing. It's important to respect these boundaries and the communal nature of the reserve land to ensure that everyone can enjoy access to the lake without conflicts.

We refresh our interior decor with the changing seasons, as each period brings its unique charm and aesthetic. For Spring/Summer, incorporating light colors and natural elements, while Fall can invite warmer tones and cozy accents like throws and pumpkins. For Christmas/Winter, creating a festive atmosphere with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and seasonal ornaments brings warmth and joy to our home. Embracing these seasonal changes enhances the overall ambiance and keeps our living space feeling fresh and inviting.

What to do?

To fully enjoy the beauty of nature throughout the seasons, you can engage in a variety of activities: In the fall, embrace the changing foliage with walks, canoeing, hot chocolate, and cozy bonfires. Winter offers ice fishing, snowmobiling, and warm gatherings by the fireplace. In summer, take advantage of canoeing, kayaking, and farmers markets, but be aware that the lake may not always be suitable for swimming due to potential blue-green algae; it remains a fantastic spot for boating and paddling. For swimming, beautiful day-use beaches are located in nearby Seba and Kawapaskin. GORGEUS Pembina River Provincial Park 17 min away, and there is Pembina river Tubing, Entwistle Outdoor Pool located 16 minutes away!

Another great getaway!

This was our 4th time staying at this property, and as always it was amazing! Such a beautiful, quiet and clean place! And riding on the lake was a great first experience! The goat is always quick to respond if you need, and the fire pit area is perfect! Love the added bonus of the provided wood!! Thank you!!

Get away from the city

The place was exactly what is shown in the pictures. We saw deer everyday and it was super quiet. There is a little community there but we stayed in February so there were not a lot of people around. It was super cold outside for a couple of nights but the geo-thermal heating kept the inside nice and warm, especially on our feet. We are looking at staying here again in the summer to see how the community is.

Peaceful Retreat

As soon as we entered this cottage, we felt at home. No detail was overlooked, and it was inviting, comfortable, and equipped with everything one may require during a short stay. The location is beautiful and serene, and we even saw a few deer. The property is very clean, organized, and spacious. The host was extremely responsive and made sure to communicate all details effectively. We are already looking forward to our next stay!

Quick Escape from the City (Edmonton)

Wanted a couple days of peace away from the city, November was a good time - place would be alot busier/nosier in the summer. Kids kept docking stars for lightbulbs being burnt out. They had firewood but recommended we bring our own (so brought some which took up trunk space) or buy some locally. Would have been nice to have the wood included. Over all nice place, not as much nature as we would have liked but not the owners fault.

Lovely Celebratory Stay

We had an amazing stay at this Silver Sands Vrbo! We were celebrating some milestones with just our little family and this house was ideal! The location was perfect - a short walk to the lake which was so nice. The house itself was spotless, well-equipped, and incredibly cozy. It truly felt like a home away from home. The property manager was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed for a fantastic vacation. We can't wait to return! Highly recommend!

Disappointed

Green-blue algae had been taking over the lake prior to our arrival. We had to ask the host as we were not given any updates. Host said “that’s Alberta lakes for you”. Like we are supposed to know this. This should have been disclosed prior to us driving all the way there. The main reason we booked this cottage was to enjoy the lake with our dogs. This should also be a warning on the booking advert. The bottom of the BBQ caught on fire. Was told it was cleaned a few days prior. Literally an inch of gunk and grease at the bottom. Host told me to let it burn off. Many dishes were greasy and needed to be washed before use. Chairs around fire pit were coated in spider webs. Had to wash down all of the chairs in order to sit around the fire. Not to mention half the chairs had sap on them which wrecked some of our clothing. As previous commenters mentioned, the property needs some minor repairs and a half dozen light bulbs replaced. All in all very disappointing vacation. We left a day early as there was nothing to do in the area and constantly driving defeats the purpose. Especially when all the other lakes in the area were also affected.

Wonderful Stay

Our family (5) enjoyed our 2nd time here! The dock was handy to tie our boat during the week. There were kayaks and a canoe available for our enjoyment. The cottage has all the comforts of home. It rained one day and it was nice to be able to watch TV and relax indoors. Our stay was very peaceful and rejuvenating.

If you’re looking for a getaway that doesn’t need multiple pee/coffee/fuel stops so you can relax in nature this spot is for you! Well appointed kitchen, cozy living with everything (including yard games). Nice and close to the lake (can even see it from bed)….Close to golf, and a nice quiet yard! We will definitely be back!

Great cabin for canoeing

Very nice cabin and property. The complimentary s'mores and popcorn were a really nice touch. We really enjoyed the easy access to the lake and the provided canoe/kayak gear. The lake and islands were beautiful to canoe around this time of year with the fall colours (though not great for swimming, lots of algae). The only disappointment was the jet tub - the hot water ran out before it was even half full.
