Kinepik Cottage Sunroom with Beach Access

Kinepik Cottage is a two-bedroom cottage in Jarvis Bay, a summer village on the shore of Sylvan Lake in central Alberta. Petro Beach sits directly across the street, a two-minute walk from the door, and the restaurants, cafés and ice cream shops of Lakeshore Drive are about a five-minute bike ride away.

The living room is bright and open, with a large picture window, hardwood floors, comfortable seating that includes a sofa bed, and a gas fireplace framed by two accent windows. The kitchen is sunny and practical, with stainless steel appliances, a double sink, ample cabinet space, a microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher and a full set of cookware, dishes and wine glasses.

Meals move between two dining spaces. A three-season enclosed sunroom with wood panelling and seating serves as the indoor dining room, keeping bugs and rain out on cooler evenings, and a west-facing front patio holds an outdoor dining set with an umbrella for the long summer light. Two bedrooms hold a king and a queen, both dressed in plush linens, and a full four-piece bathroom with a walk-in shower serves the home. A washer and dryer sit on the lower level with detergent supplied.

The backyard is a large private space edged by mature trees and hedges, with a fire pit, Adirondack seating, lawn games and room for children to run. Guests have private access to the whole home, sunroom, yard and patio, with free parking on the premises. Pets are welcome, with extra charges applying.
