Fantastic place to stay! Lots of sleeping space, really fun amenities (water sports, games, and the biggest hit: the in-ground trampoline! Host was fairly responsive and the place was beautiful and well stocked. Definitely recommend. The only thing to keep in mind is they allow animals so there was some sort of animal hair on the couch blanket when we got there. Also the extra blankets provided are all fuzzy so if you need something lighter maybe bring one or ask in advance.

We really enjoyed our stay on Campau Lake. Very peaceful and everything we needed was provided in the cottage. The trampoline was a big hit, and we enjoyed paddling around the lake. Great location for a little getaway!

We loved staying here. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The Lakeside Cottage had many outdoor activities. The trampoline and paddle boats were our favorite. The home was comfortable and cozy. The owner was very accommodating and was very good with communication. Many good memories were made at this pleasant lakeside stay.
