Vacation rentals near Sumac Centre

The host, Dan, was absolutely stellar with his communication, always responding timely at all hours of the day! This really made our vacation smooth, and worry free!OVERALL LAYOUT: We easily settled into this home away from home! We loved the winding driveway through the forest, opening up to the wood paneling of the cottage and wind swept trees.BEDS AND SLEEPING: Beds were firm, and there was a large selection of pillows of various thicknesses. Overall all the beds were comfy, and we all had a great night sleep. Lots of sheets and blankets available. The 3 heat pumps and fans kept us at a great temperature. One of the rooms has no blinds, so bring an eye mask if you want to sleep in, but the natural sunlight was delightful. Floors and cottage squeaky, so headphone/earplugs if you are a light sleeper.KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS: Functionally modern while rustic kitchen made it a breeze for meal prep! Bathrooms worked well, except for a slow filling second toilet.LAKE: Our family prefers a more sandy entrance into the water, and unfortunately there were lots of weeds off the dock for quite a ways out. So we took advantage of the fishing, paddleboat, and the SUP. Luckily, sandy beaches are only 30 minutes away!Overall, we had a very memorable time! Thanks, Dan!

The pictures just do not do this wonderful property justice. The views are stunning, the water clear and clean, and the stars at night brilliant. Our family had a wonderful stay at Jill's cottage and are hoping to visit again soon.

We had a wonderful vacation! Stunning views, great swimming, great fishing, and comfortable accommodations. Extra perk was watching and listening to the loons. Tim was very helpful before and during our stay. We cannot wait to go back next summer.

End of summer vacation

It was peaceful, quiet, and exiting. Great fishing, bomb fires and just chilling on the deck.

Location gave a chance to appreciate lake living while being close to amenities on land.We rented a boat for the week and did some cruising and attempted fishing. We had a couple glitches but the host Joe was 100% the person you want to be looking after your stay.Always near by if you needed help.Property is exactly what you would want for 8 of us to have our space.A nice dock to swim off and lots of options for water activities. The main question is,would I go back? Of course.Would love to actually do better fishing next time though...lol.

We had a wonderful stay at the Bonnie Vista in Big Gull Lake. The two bedroom cottage has been beautifully renovated such that it is essentially brand new. The kitchen is well equipped, lacking for nothing (except maybe a coffee grinder, although the blender worked for that purpose). Spacious deck with dining table and lounging sofa with a beautiful view of the lake. There are plenty of sitting areas at the lake including a screened area. In terms of water craft there is a canoe, a couple of play kayaks and a paddle board. (That said, it’s not high end gear so bring your own if you’re fussy.) The property faces northwest so you’ve got beautiful sunsets. There are a number of cottages in the bay, but in general big Gull Lake does not have very many cottages and as a result, the boat traffic is pretty minimal. We took advantage of the marina in the same bay to rent a pontoon boat for the day which enabled us to explore a good chunk of the lake. That is definitely worth doing. Back to the cottage, it is a two bedroom and although there is a pullout couch in the living room, it’s really ideal for two couples.

The cottage was spotless, comfortable and well equipped. We had a wonderfully relaxing time. Tony was respectful of our privacy but available if needed. The lillies in the gardens were gorgeous. Highly recommend.
