About this property
"The Hermitage" Cottage
"The Hermitage", for a great many years, was a small but sturdy log cabin built on a bare rock on a point on the shore. Known as "Shacktown" by Fishery Overseers', it was both a lookout and observatory.
This two-bedroom woodland cottage is nestled in the heart of Charleston Lake. With 300 feet of waterfront and 270 degree views, this is your home away from home.
The space
The Hermitage is kept clean, and the owners and rental team take tremendous pride in ensuring that it is perfect for each guest’s vacation.
Luxurious Vacation Rental on Charleston Lake just minutes from Athens, Ontario!
Featuring:
Beautiful waterfront view, Wood fireplace; Deck and Multiple Patios, Large Yard, Outdoor fire pit; 2 Cozy Bedrooms with Queen and Double beds; 1 full baths with jacuzzi tub; kitchen fully equipped with cooking appliances and accessories, main level open floor plan with oversized windows, comfortable, tasteful decor and furnishings; outdoor deck living space with dining table. Expansive yard for privacy, peace, and room to play!
The open-plan living room/kitchen at The Hermitage is the perfect place for entertaining and spending quality time with family and friends. The living area features comfortable couches, flat-screen television with an Amazon Fire Stick, surround sound, and a wood fire place.
