Our space:
Bliss au Lac Johnson is a clean, newly built 3 bedroom, with great views of the lake from our panoramic windowed cottage. You can either watch the sun rise or set from the large patio deck spanning the entire cottage, or from your king sized bed inside while you enjoy a cup of coffee.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE
Family dogs are welcome for a fee. Please clean up after your dog outside. Dogs must be crated if left alone inside, you will be responsible for the damages.
We are on a well, our water is filtered, but in rare occasions sand can make its way into our system. The water is still drinkable.
We use a septic system. Please do not flush products down the toilet, trash cans are given for those items.

THE SPACE
Our cottage has big bright windows facing the lake. Allowing you to catch both sunrise and set from your upstairs room. Due to this the sun can heat up to cottage quite a lot midday. There are blinds to block out the sun if it is too much. We do have AC for summer.
Enjoy the tranquility of winter, keeping cozy in the cottage while watching the deer cross the lake.
The cottage is for families and friends who are looking to escape the city and enjoy some quality time together. This cottage is not suitable for parties. I am looking to rent to mature adults who are kind and respectful, tidy, and considerate. A cottage is a lot of work, and so we ask you to treat it gently so it can be enjoyed for many, many more years.

THE LAKE
The lake is fresh and so clean. It's a sand bottom lake so not to worry if you're not fond of seaweed (like me). It's about 10 feet from the dock. It is deep, 5 feet out you are 5 feet deep, keep this in mind with children. There are 2 inflatable stand up paddleboards, and 2 kayaks, lifejackets and floaties available to use. Do not swim at night please. The lake is named Johnston lake, and it's one of the biggest lakes in the area.
