We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The cottage is nestled around beautiful pines and other trees and was private. The water was clear and the dock seating was very nice. Loved the chipmunks and listening to the loons. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to go back.

Absolutely loved our stay! The kitchen was beautiful and fully stocked—perfect for cooking big family meals, with a dining table that seats 10 comfortably. The shallow sandy beach runs the full length of the property and was amazing for the kids. The floating dock was a hit for jumping and diving, and the fishing was fantastic. Tons to do on and off the water. Highly recommend

Fantastic relaxing and refreshing stay on Otter lake 😊

We loved everything about the cottage and location, we spent loads of time out on the lake, relaxing on the deck and hiking in Algonquin. Everyone was sad to leave after the week there. 😊

Wonderful stay! Very quiet and has everything you need. We all enjoyed the lake between the water toys, the docks to sit and watch the beautiful view and the swim platform for the kids. Had many lovely paddles around the lake! Our hosts gave us everything in advance to make it there and to maneuver around the cottage with ease. Very responsive to questions prior to our visit and didn't need to ask for anythung while we were there thanks to their welcome package and handbook. Very relaxing getaway! Thank you!
