Great cottage and the host was great to talk to, very informative and always answered back quickly. We would recommend this cottage to anyone staying in the area.
Wonderful cottage in a great location. I visited at the end of October and the house was a very cozy place to stay for myself and 5 adults. Definitely looking forward to coming back.
A group of 7 adults stayed in early March. Great open concept kitchen, dining, living room set up for hanging out. Bedrooms all upstairs. 2 nice bathrooms, both with showers. Very well stocked kitchen. Very clean. Would definitely stay again! Zara was a great host and very responsive.

Great views in the morning to have a coffee on the porch and welcome the new day!!
And a warm crisp blazing fire to relax at the end of a long day of hiking and walking the dog.
We had a wonderful stay! Even in the winter, the location is beautiful and the water views from the house are gorgeous. Our host was so helpful and always quick to reply.Just a heads-up to pack your own towels and toiletries! We also wanted to mention for fellow pet owners that the stairs are open-backed; our dog couldn't quite manage them, and since the bedrooms are all upstairs, it’s worth noting for those travelling with pups. We loved it here and are already planning a return trip for the summertime!
Exceptional Stay — 10/10 Highly Recommend!Our family had an absolutely amazing stay and made so many special memories here. From cozy movie nights and games to spending hours ice fishing, everything about this place was perfect. Being right on the water made it extra special. Beautiful lake view, peaceful, scenic, and exactly what we were hoping for.The property itself is clean, bright, spacious, and incredibly cozy. It’s clear how much care and attention has gone into making guests feel comfortable and at home.The host was truly wonderful to deal with, she was incredibly kind, accommodating, and communicative from start to finish. She went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, and it was such a pleasure interacting with her.We would highly recommend this property to families, couples, and outdoor lovers alike who are looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway in Highlands East right on beautiful and big Paudash Lake! We will absolutely be back and can’t wait to return!

Tanya, I had such a great pleasure interacting with you. You are a. Delight!!! Thank you for choosing our home for your stay. You left the place better than we presented it to you. Your communication was amazing and you treated our Mr home better than I do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Also thank you for taking the time and writing this review. It means a lot. Have a great rest of winter and hope to see you again.
We were a group of friends/family and stayed for two nights in October. The place is super clean with all essentials you need. Kitchen was equipped with new dish sets, utensils, cups, pots and whatever you need for a pleasant stay. Appliances were also clean and fully functioning. We enjoyed both sitting around the fire pit outside at night and canoeing/kayaking during the day. The built-in wood stove brough warmth and good vibe while we had a movie night.Check-in and check-out was very easy. Zara was quickly responding to all questions and enquiries with prompt directions. We cannot wait to come back in spring!
