A stunning property and shoreline that included everything!

We were immediately struck by the peaceful lake, the beautifully landscaped shoreline with a fairly large beachfront and dock, and the number of amenities included with this property (hot tub & large sauna). The interior layout was comfortable, clean, and expansive-- easily accommodating our big family meals, movie, and game nights. The combination of a great cottage inside, and having all your outdoor needs met (hot-tubbing, kayaking, canoeing, boating, fishing, badminton, etc...) made this such an ideal vacation for our family. We will definitely be booking here again.

Summer Retreat July 2021

Had a fantastic stay at the Cichon cottage the last week of July. We were 2 families sharing with 4 kids ranging in age from 12 to 16. Lots of room and things to do so that everyone was able to relax and unwind. The pool table and large tv were great to have on the rainy days. The lake was exceptionally quiet and we felt like we were the only ones there. We had no concerns with the kids out in the kayaks checking out the lake. The property is beautiful and well maintained. Mark was great to answer all of our questions before and during our stay. If you are looking for a place to get away we highly recommend this location.

Awesome. All the nicest creature comforts nestled amidst unspoiled nature.

Our family hugely enjoyed our 10 days at Mark's beautiful secluded property...smack in the middle of a hemlock, poplar and birch forest. We had an opportunity to re-experience pandemic-free life with our adult children and their significant others. We met only 3 other groups of people during our stay. Mark was immediately responsive to every request and clear and transparent about every detail. The facilities and finishes are top notch. We would definitely rent from Mark again. P.S. you really do need an AWD vehicle to access the property in the winter.

Perfect escape from the hustle and bustle

We stayed here with 3 couples mid November and enjoyed time around the wood fireplace while playing board games. We caught some beautiful sun sets right of the back deck and from the sandy beach and also from the hot tub.(seats up to 5) We also had some peaceful hikes along the main gravel cottage road. As stated in the listing you should drive a AWD or 4x4 during the winter months as indeed the hilly and windy cottage roads can be rather snowy and slippery and it’s 25 or so minutes from highway 28 and I wouldn’t recommend trying it with a small vehicle in snowy weather. While at the house we also enjoyed the pool table and sauna quite a bit which was the perfect ingredient for a successful week away. The hosts were very detailed oriented and this was seen in the cottage with instruction notes in various places which was appreciated. They also followed up with us throughout our stay to see if all was okay. We loved our stay and hope to come back again

3rd Time's A Charm

We stayed at Mark’s cottage/villa with our adult children and had another awesome holiday. This was our 3rd time renting – first time in the summer. The place is remote, and quiet – excepts for the loons, chipmunks, squirrels and bullfrogs😊 - it was only on the weekend that we heard other people partying on the lake, and even then – they weren’t too rowdy. Its well equipped; squeaky clean gas BBQ, newish appliances and every kitchen tool you could want – if you like to cook. It also comes with kayaks, canoe, rowboat, fishing gear. There is a protected sandy beach and a separate terraced badminton area. Prepare yourself for beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the water – easily enjoyed from the substantial outdoor deck overlooking the lake. Every morning, I disturbed a giant blue heron, and a few non-lethal snakes as I made my way down to the floating dock at the water’s edge. The WiFi is solid, so we could work or WhatApp our friends. The sauna and pool table were well used. The place was clean. And we were well informed, before and during our stay. If you like big screens for movies, the basement has a wonderful home theatre. The mosquitoes can be a problem in June – so bring bug netting if you want to go for long walks through the forested lands surrounding the cottage. Highly recommend. Would definitely return – summer or winter.

Ideal Spot for a Cottage Getaway!

We had such an amazing time at Mark’s cottage! His property had everything you could possibly need to enjoy our time in the woods. The amenities were top notch with access to a sauna, hot tub (which we enjoyed every night!), a fleet of boats, a fire pit, a projector, a bar, and plenty of spots to hang out inside and out. It was equipped with everything we would need indoor as well. It was impeccably clean and had many luxurious features. Mark was very prompt with communication and ensured we had a comfortable stay. We would absolutely return to stay again! Amazing spot for a great price!

Amazing getaway at truly stunning cottage

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Cichon Cottage for a much needed getaway! We loved the remoteness of it! The cottage itself is spectacular! The outside is beautifully landscaped and designed. And the inside is something else! It’s well laid out and all the extra amenities (hot tub, sauna, pool table, etc…) make it that more awesome. We really liked the zoned stereo/speaker system. I connected my phone to the receiver and I was able to play my music inside and outside on the deck. No need to bring a Bluetooth speaker. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck watching the blue jays fly in and grab peanuts off the rail, seeing the belted kingfishers diving into the water. One morning we woke up and saw a beautiful blue heron strolling along the beach looking for a snack to nosh on. And who doesn’t love hearing the loon call? We also, enjoyed taking the boat out fishing. We caught a few small mouth bass, the biggest being 2 ¼ lbs. Having a camp fire at night, enjoying a beverage and gazing up at the sky to see so many stars was stunning. We also, enjoyed spending time with some friends who joined us for a few days. Good times! The host Mark was a pleasure to deal with. He was easy to communicate with and answered any questions or concerns we had. We will definitely consider renting again in the future and will recommend your cottage to our friends. Thank you Mark & Cheryl for sharing your beautiful cottage with us! We really enjoyed our stay. Cheers, Steve & Jen Moses

Great getaway

We enjoyed a week at this quiet escape at the end of the summer. The cottage is beautiful and was well-equipped for our group of 8 (4 adults, 4 kids). The beach area was great for the kids to play in the water and there was ample shade by the lake - especially in the waterfront hammock. We will definitely consider this cottage for another getaway!

Great Escape

Our family had the most relaxing time together during our week stay. The lakefront property and cottage are beautiful by design and well maintained. This home has features that impressed all ages! Our grandson loved the walk in sandy beach and spent hours ‘on blue’ mat, in peddle boat and digging sand. We enjoyed the remote quiet lake complete with Kayaks and fishing boat. The rest of us enjoyed the spa like amenities of hot tub and sauna. A definite 10/10 from our family of 6 adults, 1 toddler and one newborn. The comfy Couch was also an honourable mention. Marks responsive communication was appreciated. Seamless process from booking to departure.

WONDERFUL STAY

We were six adults and two small children and we had an amazing week at Mark and Cheryl’s cottage. The pictures do it justice. The cottage is clean, very roomy and had all the amenities needed. The lake is very quiet and the grounds are perfect for a family with small children. Mark was quick to respond to all of our questions. We would definitely consider returning and recommending this property. Thank you Mark for being a great host.

Extra Long Weekend

Our 2 families enjoyed an extra long weekend in June at the Cichon cottage. Booking and pre-visit emails were sent in a timely fashion with adequate details and Mark answered our questions via phone at check in. Cottage was clean and spacious for our party of 4 adults and 5 children. So many amenities that kept the teenagers busy. Dock and lake views were tranquil and peaceful. An amazing weekend of fun memories! Only complaint was the mosquito bites.

Great winter cottage weekend

Spent a winter weekend here and it was great. Clean, well appointed, had everything you need. We were a group of 8 adults and were very comfortable. The bedroom/bed situation was as listed. Great communication with the host. Nice hot tub and sauna, perfect for winter. As it says in the listing, if you're going up in winter, make sure you're driving a vehicle that can handle winter conditions. The cottage road is very hilly and got very, very icy - was totally fine for SUV's, but cars could really struggle.

Beautiful hand crafted gem of a cottage nestled in nature

Mark's cottage is an absolute gem and a perfect place to have an enjoyable time with any group you're with - family, friends, etc. The cottage is thoughtfully designed with everything you could need for a relaxing and fun time including hot tub, entertainment systems, basement bar + pool table, etc. Overall, this cottage is an amazing place regardless of the season or weather outside. Please ensure you bring AWD + Winter Tires if visiting in winter as the offroad is unmaintained.

Great family retreat

We had a wonderful two week stay at Cichon Cottage. The beach and waterfront were perfect for our kiddos who loved playing in the sand and swimming. The cottage was very comfortable, tidy and had everything we needed. We had a power outage but the generator ensured there was no impact and Mark was very responsive and helped rectify the problem quickly. The cottage is a bit remote which is perfect if you are looking for a tranquil getaway. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful family cottage

Newly built, and still in great condition, this property more than met our expectations! Mark and Cheryl were excellent hosts - proactively reaching out to ensure everything was in order, and very responsive when we had any questions. While the timing of our trip (the first really warm week at the end of March) meant we couldn't take advantage of the lake (either more frozen earlier, or ready for swimming later), it is clear that the lake is beautiful, and the cottage is well equipped for everyone to enjoy. We particularly loved the sauna!!
