Welcome to Malaya Cottage, a hidden retreat on the shores of Cranberry Lake where life slows to the rhythm of the water and the whisper of the trees. Tucked away in a peaceful setting, yet just a 17 minute drive from Bridgewater, this charming waterfront cottage offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. Thoughtfully updated and lovingly maintained, Malaya Cottage proves that the best escapes aren't measured in square footage, but in the memories they create. The bright, open living space is warm and inviting, while a recently installed heat pump provides efficient year-round comfort, making it an ideal getaway in every season. Step outside onto the expansive deck where mornings begin with coffee overlooking the lake and evenings end beneath the stars in the private hot tub. Spend an afternoon stretched out in the lakeside hammock with a favourite book, launch a kayak for a peaceful paddle, or simply enjoy the quiet beauty of this hidden setting as the breeze moves gently through the trees. Whether you're searching for a weekend sanctuary, a turnkey vacation rental, or a place to disconnect and recharge, Malaya Cottage offers something increasingly difficult to find; authentic lakeside living that feels wonderfully removed from the world, yet is only 17 minutes from the shops, restaurants and everyday conveniences of Bridgewater. Peaceful, private and full of charm, this is a place where time slows, nature takes centre stage, and every visit feels like an escape.
Exit 12 from Hwy 103. Right hand turn onto N. King St. Right onto Lower Branch Rd. Left onto Smith Rd. Right onto Upper Branch Rd. Driveway is on the right hand side.
