Exceptional check-in experience

Recent guests gave the check-in process a 5-star rating.
Kiltearn on the Peak is perfect for a couple looking for a relaxing quasi-off-grid experience, but with lots of amenities to ensure comfort. Situated on a rocky peak overlooking Buck Lake (30 minutes north of Kingston, Ontario), the cabin is surrounded by forest on three sides, and has a terrific lake view from the deck. Features include a loft with a queen bed, Wifi, soapstone propane heater, fridge, induction cooktop, kitchen sink, futon couch and a sheltered outdoor sitting area with BBQ.

The space
The cabin is situated on 11 forested acres with 400 feet of shoreline and its own private bay, KOTP offers the perfect area for recreation: swimming, forest-bathing, messing around in small boats, spectacular sunsets on the deck.

In the vicinity are great areas for hiking, canoeing, biking, and discovering the attractions of the Rideau canal system and the watersheds that feed it. There is excellent local food shopping in the area, and attractive small villages offer unique shopping opportunities.

To get to the cabin involves a climbing 30 woodland steps up the back of the hill, and following a 200 meter path. As a quasi-off-grid tiny house, KOTP has AC power available to run the fridge, induction cooktop, other appliances and your computer. Solar power and a backup generator are also available if needed. The lights and the water pumps are 12v. The interior sink serves drinking water from 5 gallon jugs refilled from our filtered water supply at the nearby house.

KOTP has a gorgeous soapstone propane heater that provides a great ambiance and comfort if the weather gets damp or chilly. On the deck outside is a propane barbeque, a propane firepit. and an outdoor sink that is fed from a 50 gallon rain barrel. We use this to do the dishes outside. The rain barrel also supplies water for a shower and sink located in the shed at the back, along with a high-end composting toilet.

A rustic path leads down the side of a hill to the waterfront which is shared with the other cottage on the property. The waterfront features a large shallow sandy swimming area, a spacious floating dock, and access to various small watercraft including kayaks, canoes, rowboats, and Sunfish sailboats.

Guest access
Kiltearn on the Peak is a tiny house dedicated to its guests. The waterfront below and the forested areas on the 11 acre property may occasionally be shared with folks using the Kiltearn on the Lake cottage.

Other things to note
The 11 acre property includes a rare area of old growth Ontario forest. Lots of birds, deer and other forest inhabitants. The lake is on the eastern boundary of Frontenac Provincial Park which features over 5,355 hectares of backcountry recreation, as well as a section of the Rideau Trail from Kingston to Ottawa. Other biking and hiking trails are available in the vicinity.
