Unplug, relax and enjoy a true connection with nature. Hike the well maintained trails of the 88 acres of parkland. Spend cozy evenings by the fire. Free Wi-Fi for remote work. A nature lover's paradise to explore and enjoy. Pets welcome. The perfect place to getaway and unwind. Naturally. We ask our guests to respect the natural environment and the animals , wild and domestic, with care. While staying at Longview with your pet please be aware of the potential for your pet to run through the screen door at the front of the building. The replacement cost is $500, plus installation. Also for the enjoyment of future guests we ask that you bring dog towels for rainy days. Please place dog waste bags in the bin in the garden shed. We provide an animal friendly and smoke free environment. Please tie kitchen waste bags and place recycling in the wicker basket. Being located on a nature park of 88 acres it is necesssary to leave any surface or nourishment implement in the state in which it was found. This necessity is very important to maintain wild life safety and mitigate an invasion of creatures seeking a food source. The rustic guest 650 square foot cottage is an exposed log framed structure with a cozy open planned living space complete with a functional kitchenette for simple meal prep and a sleeping loft in the gables surrounded in natural local pine. It was constructed in 1978 as a place for the original owners to live while building the log home 30 meters away and highlights some of those building techniques. The cabin retains most of its quirks and charms but has evolved with some essential mod cons , like great internet and electricity.Please read on to find out exactly what's here! The charming loft bedroom, (which due to architectural limitations has a steep staircase perhaps not suitable for those with mobility issues, see photo) has a queen bed with feather mattresses ( for those with allergies the feather mattresses can easily be removed). Linens (open air dried when weather permitting) and duvets are provided. The cabin can sleep three, in a pinch, with the full twin mattress on the trundle bed on the main floor. If you are OK with being very cozy with family or friends we can bring all the extras needed for 3. There is an extra charge for a 3rd person. The full bath is exclusive to our guests for the duration of their stay. It is accessed by a private entrance in the main house, 25 meter walk, and provides a dramatic view to the forest and brook from the roll top bath. We will do our best to accommodate all musical tastes to provide the soundtrack to a peaceful bubble bath:) The kitchenette comprises of a bar fridge, two infrared burners, large toaster oven, microwave, a crock pot and the wood stove makes cooking easy. Included are dishes, cast iron pans, cooking pots of various sizes with lids, French press coffee maker, utensils, dish cloths, tea towels, dish soap and paper towels. Included are: coffee, tea, salt , pepper, sugar, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and some basic herbs. Potable water is provided from our well in a ceramic and glass dispenser. The sink uses a grey water system. We have collected over many years an eclectic selection of books and of course there are classic board games and puzzles for those wanting a break from screens. There are a set of speakers in the cabin as well. * The wood fired Finnish dry sauna is located just steps from the bath and cottage and is available for guests upon request during the winter months. There is a 80$/hour fee per session. Robes and towels are included. Please schedule your session when booking the cottage. The sauna is located in the forest. Located just 25 minutes from the trailhead into Frontenac Park access to one of Ontario's hidden jems is worth exploring.

A Webber BBQ is on the cottage deck. We supply the coals and starter. There is also a large firepit at the entrance of the forest for bonfires and star gazing. There is ample firewood specifically for the firepit at that location. Outdoor blankets are in the cabin waiting for you. Le Temps Perdu has invited an award winning local bee keeper, owner and operator of Miel des Fleurs, to begin an apiary on the property. Watching the bees start their day in the early morning is a treat. Not to mention the honey! Please inquire as to honey and beeswax products availability. As animal lovers we invite you to bring your pets We limit the space to 1 pet as the entire space is 650 square feet including the loft. Please be advised that more than one pet can soon make the space feel cramped. If you are travelling with a pet please let us know so we can prepare accordingly. We lovingly and thoughtfully operate our accommodations at Le Temps Perdu as a place to be considered as an oasis and an experience based on simpler times. This is a rustic and authentic stay. This is a rural experience, one to be recognized for the inclusion of nature and direct influences of the weather. We consider the maintenance of this natural environment and all those who thrive on it first and foremost:) Le Temps Perdu offers the property for our guests' exclusive use and we invite you to explore the many opportunities on the property and in our surroundings for recreation and relaxation.

We can provide our guests with portable easels and chairs for those who feel inspired. Situated on 88 acres, Le Temps Perdu allows for the rare experience of having such a large acreage to explore. Although we seek connections to the many exciting cultural events and our local community, our priority is to provide a peaceful experience while maintaining an harmonic life with the nature that surrounds us. Le Temps Perdu is our playground and it's always fun to share. We are always on the property and are happy to accommodate our guests according to their wishes. We enjoy meeting new people but at the same time are sensitive to our guests' needs for quiet, privacy and relaxation.
