Description from owner

Description

Beautiful new build cottage (2015) on Rutherford Island looking out onto John's Bay. The "Boathouse" has two spacious bedrooms upstairs along with a bathroom with tub. There is also a nice little reading nook on the landing separating the two bedrooms. The building itself is approximately 15 years old; it was a wood working shop that was converted into a guest house.

Downstairs there is a spacious kitchen with new appliances including a super quiet dishwasher. A large island with seating is a great place to enjoy morning coffee or to chat with the chef. A large pantry separates the kitchen from the downstairs bathroom. A dining table can seat 6 and enjoys water views. There is a Rumford wood burning fireplace (wood supplied) along with a 3 seat couch and two armchairs and a television with a media player. Window seats on either side of the fireplace add more seating to the living area.

There is a laundry room with deep sink and washer/dryer off the kitchen for your convenience. All towels and linens are provided.

There is wifi and a roku media player for entertainment. We have two sea kayaks that you are welcome to use. The harbor is around the corner, just a 10 minute paddle away. There is a propane grill that is hooked into the house supply-no running out! We are right on the water with a nice dock that can accommodate a few chairs at cocktail hour.

We have a friendly dog who roams the property. Your well-behaved dog is welcome. Housekeeping is included in the rate.
