Beautiful space exactly as described. An older home, well cared for and decorated creatively. The host was very kind and even had a welcome basket! We appreciated the space, beauty of the lake and clear communication.

Wayne was a great host, responding quickly to questions and providing clear instructions. The home itself was exactly what we were looking for as it provided a comfortable place to return to after a long day out and about. We really enjoyed being able to kayak and having a fire overlooking the lake. We hope to stay again in the future.

We loved our time at Milton’s Cottage and will be back, for sure! Loved having water access. It was very quiet and peaceful. Just what we needed for a weekend away.

Milton‘s cottage was simply phenomenal. The 1950s cottage was not perfect, but the imperfections is what made it so comfortable and enjoyable. The backyard, the dock, the deck, the fire pit and the kayaks were very nice to have at our leisure and my kids enjoyed them tremendously. I would highly recommend Milton‘s cottage for anybody that wants to enjoy Lake Milton, the surrounding areas and everything else that it has to offer. Milton’s cottage was a perfect fit for my family and myself, we are planning on going back because the locals told me that fall time is the most beautiful ever. Simply a phenomenal trip!

Beautiful views! Quiet despite other houses close by. We had a very relaxing time and everything we needed was provided! I would definitely choose to stay here again when I'm in the area! Fantastic host too!

Find us

Lake Milton is a rural lake community, so a car is essential for getting around. While we are close to the water, most restaurants, wineries, and grocery stores are a 5-10 minute drive away. Parking: Ample free parking is available on our property. Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate in the area, but wait times can be longer than in the city. We recommend scheduling rides in advance if you have a tight timeline.
