Large Reunion And Retreat Cottage, Sleeps Over 27, On Lakefront

Had a large group have a reunion at this place and we absolutely loved it. 4 bathrooms with showers meant there was never any problems with bathroom occupency. Great space for large groups of people

We hired a local taxi company to drive our group around (Kueka Taxi), who had both 15 and 18 passenger buses available. We found this to be the most cost effective carrier around, and I checked at least 6 different offers from School buses to limos

As we were a large group of guys the wineries were not the main desire of the group...

we decided to have our trip stop at Breweries and distilleries in stead of wineries. Good thing is land that grows grapes is also good for hops. We stopped at 4 Breweries and 2 distilleries all less than 45mins from this house. There were many more to choose from as well. We decided to take a loop around Kueka lake stopping at many

All in all, great property in a great area.

We can’t wait to do it again!

Plenty of space for big groups and beautiful property. The kids loved playing in the snow. The owner was responsive and easy to deal with and the home itself was well kept and comfortable. The attic and basement levels were a little chilly so bring your own space heaters.

We had a large group, and this house was amazing, plenty of beds to sleep in, plenty of gathering space!

This home was a very comfortable house with plenty of room. We had anywhere from 10 - 15 people with the average of 13 and had plenty of room to hang out together or if we wanted some space, could easily do.

I like when houses I rent are like a 'home'. Not afraid to put feet on couch, etc.

Wish the kitchen had more light as at night it was hard to see while fixing meals and with 5 - 6 people in kitchen working different locations, more light would be great.

Also, someone should look at the dining room table as the legs are not steady. I loved the fact that there were 3 tables and we actually separated them into 3 separate tables so we could play games inside (the porch would have worked except for mosquitoes). The problem with separating them is that the legs are maybe not screwed in all the way, or people haven't been picking up the tables while moving and the legs actually go out 5-6 inches at an angle. We noticed that and made sure we pushed them to the right location, but since the granite tops are not a permanent cover on these legs, they could potentially break and the slab of granite may fall onto someone's foot. This is just a minor thing that people need to be aware of.

I was a bit disappointed with the lake and no one took the opportunity to kayak, canoe, etc. as there was so much milfoil and stuff floating on top of the water near the banks that no one dared or wanted to go into the water or chance getting into a kayak with the chance of falling into the water. Really, that was my only real complaint, and we found plenty to do without it.

I would rent this home again in a heartbeat!! Thank you.

Our stay was very pleasant and we all (24 of us) enjoyed the lay-out of the home and the convenience of the lake. The grandkids all enjoyed fishing (from the dock), kayaking, tubing and swimming.

We were, however, disappointed with all the seaweed that seems to be overtaking the beautiful lake of Waneta. Hopefully, something can be done for that.

The home was large enough that anyone that needed some quiet time could find a location to just relax. The large back lawn provided a place for ball games, etc. The deck was probably our favorite place! Loved being able to read, eat, play games and just relax. Very nice!

There, of course, are some rough places that need some attention (curb appeal being one of them) but over all the home worked perfectly for our family and we were all glad to be able to spend time together. We sincerely appreciated the air conditioner in the upstairs! The new kayakes were an added blessing as the kids as well as the adults spend a lot of time enjoying the lake in one of them. Thank you, Gary, for purchasing these items. With the kayakes we rented ourselves, we had enough for those wanting to go our in the lake with no complaining that someone had to wait his turn!

This cottage met our desires and needs and we all loved being together in one place. We definitely would recommend this place to other families or groups!
