Very nice stay. One suggestion would be to lay some kind of cement slabs outside the doors even with the doors for easier in and out entry and a place to wipe your feet or take shoes off. Put mats and inside doors for same reason.

It was a very relaxing stay with a beautiful lake view. A beaver would swim by each morning while my pup and I sat with a good cup of coffee.

The cottage is charming, clean and has a great view. The host was easy to get ahold of when we had questions. I hope to visit again.

The property provided a wonderful opportunity to relax and make new memories! We (larger family w/dogs) were able to all stretch out and stay comfortable with plenty of space. We watched the sunset and a blue heron would sit on the docks during sunrise! Oh, and the bluegill! The host was also very kind and communicative!

Cozy with a beautiful view!

Incredible location about 10 feet from the lake. Large living area has windows that shows the entire lake view with a small electric fireplace, really great for our anniversary stay. Our pups loved it too!

This home was just about perfect, only because nothing is truly perfect. It is so charming and peaceful. The lake is small but very clean. I highly recommend this place. Host was very quick on responding to questions and the caretaker came by to check and make sure everything was great, which it was. Thanks for everything!!

Beautiful

We came here for a little birthday celebration. Did some shopping, stopped at some local wineries, went to a little town (forget the name of it). We were shocked at how peaceful it was when there are other houses around. The view is amazing out the livingroom window. We will be back!

We had such a wonderful stay at this house. The house was very welcoming and comfortable. We had everything we needed. It was peaceful, relaxing and just perfect. We were also a very close drive to anything we wanted to get to during our stay. Any questions we had were answered very quickly. We were definitely sad to leave, and would love to come back next year!

The boys had a golf tournament at the nearby Bedford Valley golf club. Fun quiet house on a cool little lake Very peaceful, relaxing. My only regret is not bringing a fishing pole. Maybe next time.

We had a great mini honeymoon in this peaceful little home. We were so excited we could bring our German Shepard puppy too! We enjoyed fishing off the dock, relaxing on the rowboat and exploring the area. The view is phenomenal!
