Your Retreat Home in Prince Edward County
Perched high above the Bay of Quinte, Lake on the Mountain Resort offers a setting that feels both grounding and quietly extraordinary — a place where nature invites you to slow down, soften, and truly savour the moment.
Surrounded by vibrant autumn colours, this peaceful lakeside retreat becomes a sanctuary in the fall. Crisp air, golden leaves, and the gentle stillness of the water create the perfect backdrop for deep rest and renewal.
You’ll stay in charming cottage accommodations nestled along the shoreline — simple, cozy, and connected to nature.
Mornings begin with soft light over the lake and a warm cup in hand…
Evenings invite you to gather, reflect, and unwind under open skies.
Just steps away, panoramic views stretch across the Bay of Quinte — a breathtaking reminder of spaciousness, perspective, and the beauty of pausing long enough to take it all in.
There is also something deeply personal about this place for me. Lake on the Mountain Resort is family-owned and operated, and I’ve known the family since I was a teenager. There is a genuine care woven into this space — a warmth and authenticity you can feel the moment you arrive.
This is more than a place to stay.
It’s a place to arrive — into rest, connection, and the simple beauty of being.
And perfectly aligned with the spirit of Savour the County, you’ll be immersed in the richness of Prince Edward County — from local food and wine to quiet country roads and sensory moments that invite you to experience life more fully.
