The Pug House. Renovated, fully equipped cottage on Moira lake. Now with wifi.
If you are looking for a quiet 4 season waterfront vacation, on an almost one acre lot, this is the place for you. Located between the towns Madoc and Tweed. Just below highway 7, approximately 30 minutes north of Belleville. If fishing, kayaking or golfing are your thing, we have it. Situated on Moira lake, and only 10 minutes to Stoco lake. Musky, pike, walleye, perch and bass are avaliable for your pleasure. Launch your boat for free at the boat launch and keep your boat at the private dock for your vacation. Food truck at Moira lake launch is open spring to fall. The West Highland golf course is nearby in Madoc if that is your calling. Madoc also has a great park for the kids with a splash pad and skatepark. An off leash dog park with an area for both large and small dogs. The cottage has a fenced in area off of the patio to let the dog out. Grab a snack after at the Hidden Goldmine bakery. If you head the other way to Tweed,there is also a playground with a beach on Stoco lake. Elvis fest is celebrated in August, the Tweed Stampede labour day weekend. Tweed Fair in July. Winter carnival, Festival of Trees and more. Need some adult time, the Potter Settlement Vineyards are only 20 minutes away. If it's raining, or you just want to relax inside, there is television in the main family room with wifi. A second tv with DVD player and Xbox is located in the extra room on the main floor with the murphy bed. Both, a propane and a charcoal bbq are on the deck overlooking the water. Fire pit in the middle of the large front yard, and another down by the water.

The house was spacious, well-appointed and very quiet. The main problem for us was that there was no Wi-Fi. This surprised us. There was a smart TV, but we could not stream anything because there was no Wi-Fi. Also, the cellular signal was very weak (we use Koodo/Telus). My husband could not complete some work he wanted to do because of the lack of Wi-Fi. The very weak cellular signal meant he could not hotspot off his phone either. We enjoyed using the barbeque and the fire pit.
We had a lovely stay at The Pug House with 7 people and 3 dogs — the cottage was clean, well-equipped, and the partially enclosed yard was a nice bonus for our pets. While the fenced-in area is on the smaller side and doesn’t cover the full yard, it was still helpful for letting the dogs out safely. The space overall was manageable for our group, though it would be more comfortable for 4–6 people, as the common areas got a bit tight. The main bedroom lacked blinds on the large window, so we were woken early by the sunlight, and unfortunately, we didn’t see the kayak mentioned in the listing. We arrived after a rainfall, so there were quite a few mosquitoes and flies, which is expected in a lakeside setting. The dock doesn’t extend very far into the lake, and while it looks like vegetation around the water had been cleared at some point, it was growing back, making it difficult to get in for a swim. Additionally, the stairs down to the dock were not in great shape and didn’t feel very safe to use. Overall, it’s a great spot for a quiet, pet-friendly getaway with thoughtful amenities and a beautiful location — just a few small improvements would make it perfect.
