The property was just what we needed for our off roading weekend. The pull through driveway made parking 3 vehicles with trailers really easy and convenient. The hot tub after a long day of riding was a nice add.

Yes we had a wonderful time at the cottage. It was clean and in great shape. The instructions to be prepared with some logs for the fireplace came in really handy as it was cold but the heat was no issue once everything got started. Beautiful place.

The rooms were clean. 2 bedrooms were small. no place for luggage in one. Kitchen had everything needed. Hot tub could have been cleaner. Some trouble with lights but the excellent weather & lake swimming made up for these inconveniences.
