Hygge (/ˈhjuːɡə/ HEW-gə or /ˈhuːɡə/ HOO-gə) is a Danish and Norwegian word which describes a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being. Surround yourself with the things that make life good, like family, friendship, love, and laughter. Hygge House, located on Huycks Bay in Prince Edward County is a perfect place to bring more Hygge into your daily life.
This comfortable one level, three-bedroom, two-bathroom vacation home features simple and clean contemporary décor and an open concept living and dining area with large windows and lovely calming views of Huycks Bay.
The spacious yard provides lots of space for the kids to run around outdoors while the adults relax on one of the decks with a morning coffee or an evening cocktail.
Head out for a day at the Sandbanks, one beach pass is included with your rental. The larger deck provides a dining space and BBQ for grilling meals while the smaller water-side deck provides a peaceful vista with water views.
Enjoy a peaceful paddle on the bay in one of the three kayaks or one canoe for. Please note that the owner requires a signed liability waiver to utilize the boats. There are several life jackets in adult and child sizes, however please feel free to bring your own to ensure a perfect fit. Water shoes are strongly suggested as the lake bottom is rather silty, and is not recommended for swimming. In the late summer, you may see the wild rice coming through the surface of the water, but this will not deter you from using the boats.
There is no better way to end a 'hygge' day than roasting marshmallows and telling tales around the water-side campfire as the sun sets over the bay.
You'll have use of the entire house and yard.
