Excellent cozy stay

My family and I had a wonderful weekend at Ben and Jess’s cottage. Their attention to detail was great and we loved the fully stocked kitchen. The cottage was beautifully desgined and we enjoyed a snowshoe walk out on the lake. Location was great with lots to do. The only downside is that they’re all booked up for the summer so we’ll have to plan ahead next year Overall, we would highly recommend!!!

winter fun

We love staying at this quiet winter getaway. We skied and snowshoed into Torrance Barrens, and soaked our bodies in a beautiful sauna! We really appreciated all the detail the detail, the host put into furnishing this remarkable place, particularly the kitchen. It's a pleasure to prepare a meal at this cottage.
