Beautiful property! Perfect to unwind, read a book and watch the sunset from one of the decks or the dock. Super quiet, comfortable beds, functional kitchen. Super cozy lake cabin vibes. The fall scenery is amazing with the morning fog on the lake and the beautfiul trees.

Retreat at Taffy Lake

We had a great time. Enjoyed the fire after a day of skiing. We were well advised on the remote aspect of the stay and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Cabin

We really liked that it had everything!! However, the shower was the only thing that we didn’t like much cause the warm water changed to cold

The water system upstairs is getting changed in the spring so it should address the fluctuation of water temperature in the shower.

This property was in a great location for us to be able to travel back and forth to the freestyle skiing venue at Crebbe Mountain. If we had an issue they solved it right away. Thanks for the stay. GO TEAM SASKATCHEWAN

The perfect getaway!

When we decided to book a place, we only wanted 2 things: a lake with canoes and 2: a place to fully disconnect from reality. This place exceeded our expectation! The ride to get there was gorgeous - it was our first time in the area and we all want to come back in the future. The cottage was lovely - it had everything we needed (and more!) The only (tiny) downfall was the outhouse, which was technically a top notch outhouse but when it's chilly at night, you would prefer using an indoor toilet. There is one, but it was not recommended to use it so we made sure to respect the host's recommendation :) We had the best time on the lake using the canoe and the peddleboat - it is a must to fully enjoy the cottage! Overall: great place to disconnect and recharge your batteries. OH and bonus? Listening to the owls at night while sitting by the fire was pretty great. And we briefly met the neighbors who were lovely, so that is a bonus as well. The only disappointment of the weekend? We did not see a moose.

I will amend my wording on my listing to reflect that I don't mind the nighttime use of the indoor restroom. Sorry that I didn't properly state that.

The most relaxing stay I’ve ever done

From booking to instructions on how to get there, it went as smooth as the beautiful drive there. The pictures were so beautiful, but it does not do it justice. We fell in love.

Retraite parfaite en famille!!!

C’est le secret le mieux gardé côté chalet à louer au bord d’un lac au Nouveau-Brunswick!!! Incroyablement chaleureux, cachet exceptionnel, tout était parfait pour un séjour mémorable en famille! Ce fut un atout de ne pas avoir de WiFi en plus! Les propriétaires, Natalie et son conjoint sont super sympathiques et disponibles! Tout est bien pensé; on ne manque de rien. Nous serons assurément de retour dans le futur! Merci beaucoup!!!

Taffy Lake family vacancy

At our arrival, we were welcomed by Natalie and we were impressed by the cottage appearance and the view on the Lake. The cottage is very well maintained with all required necessities and accessories. Inside we found our names written on a blackboard and a basket with blankets and goodies for an evening at the fire pit. We appreciated the quietness and the privacy of the property. We anticipate returning in the future for a longer stay. What a great vacation to relax with our grandchildren ! Thanks, The Morin's and Fortier's families.

Lovely place

This is a beautifully kept up property, right on the lake. We were made to feel at home. Beautiful outdoor fire pit, many nice adirondack chairs and rockers, a splendid barbecue area/outdoor kitchen. We sat on the porch and tracked the progress of the loons around the lake, and the bald eagles. Boats in nice condition available. We plan to go back.
