Talu Farmhouse - Two Bedroom Cottage, Sleeps 4 | Cottage in Kawartha Lakes
2 Bedroom Cottage in Kirkfield, Kawartha Lakes
Welcome to your perfect countryside reset—where a beautifully redesigned century farmhouse meets modern comfort, open skies, and the gentle rhythm of rural life.
This thoughtfully restored home blends contemporary style with timeless charm, set against rolling farmland with peaceful views of Canal Lake. Just outside your door, you’ll find a charming family of goats grazing nearby—curious, friendly, and always a delight to watch (and say hello to from the fence line).
Inside, the home is bright, stylish, and designed for connection and creativity. A stunning chef’s kitchen invites you to slow down and savour the experience—spend your days reading, relaxing, or exploring, then gather in the evening to cook, dine, and unwind. For music lovers, writers and creatives, a keyboard and guitars add a special touch—perfect for quiet inspiration, songwriting, or simply enjoying the moment.
Step outside to fully embrace country living. Sip your morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the fields with the goats and neighbouring cows grazing next door, lounge on the sun deck, or gather around the fire pit under a canopy of stars. The large picnic table under the tree is just waiting for afternoon tea parties and games in the yard. The cottage is pet-friendly and fully fenced but please keep in mind, there are animals right along the fence so you'll want to make sure your precious fur baby won't be upset by the bigger fluffy visitors. We really can't say enough about how adorable and hilarious these kids are to watch! The surrounding area offers easy access to swimming spots with a public boat launch just down the road, making it simple to get out on the water.
Whether you’re planning a girls’ weekend, couples retreat, book club getaway, or a peaceful escape for rest and reconnection, this farmhouse offers the ideal setting.
Please note - given the unique experience at Talu Farmhouse, the cottage owners have two surveillance cameras in place to monitor the goats and cows, ensuring the gates are secure for their safety. They will not be monitored 24/day while you enjoy the property but are present. One is located on the exterior shed by the black goat field gate (locked). The second is located in the kitchen bay window and faces the front entry and cow field gates. The owners are very excited to share their beloved hobby farm with you and want to ensure you are aware of these two cameras on the property used to ensure the goats and cows are securely in their fields.
