We had a lovely time! We had two young kids come with us. The space was very functional and comfortable. We had everything we needed for breakfast and there were some toys that my kids enjoyed. The host was very responsive but we didn't have any issues.

Mark was super welcoming and very accommodating to any and all needs. The cottage was super cleaned, well maintained and very accurate to the posting. The fishing was very good off the dock and on the boat. 100% would recommend to anyone!

The pictures don’t truly depict how beautiful this place is. My partner and I loved the coziness and convenience of all the cooking amenities available. The rain shower in the bathroom is awesome We also caught over 120 fish in these 3 days! We gutted and fried our largemouth bass on the bbq The boat was so lovely. He made a beautiful fire for us at night and even gave us the best butter tarts you will ever find!

The place was very clean, there was an abundance of everything needed for a comfortable stay. The host who lives next door was extremely nice and accommodating, never in your face but always available. The kitchen was small but had all the amenities that were needed. They had high speed wifi and TV so we could watch the soccer match in real time. I would recommend this place to anyone.

The cottage and the experience came as advertised. The cottage is cozy, it suited the two of us well. It comes with everything one might need. My son and I had a quiet and peaceful time during our stay.Everything from dinnerware, to cookware to firewood was provided, and the cabin was clean and well kept.Breakfast and dinner on the deck, and watching the sun rise and set to the lake was particularly enjoyable.There was minimal boat traffic on our end of the lake which made it great for canoeing. Furthermore we caught a 14.5”- 1.7 lb small mouth bass from the canoe.It was a pleasant stay, I hope to return.

If we could give this place more than 5 stars, we definitely would! We had such an amazing stay. The owners are some of the nicest people we've met. They’re ver friendly, welcoming and genuinely cared about making our stay comfortable. Even though they live right next door, we still had complete privacy throughout our stay. The cottage had everything we needed and more. It was stocked with toiletries, spices, kitchen essentials, and so many thoughtful little extras that you don't usually find in vacation rentals. We also loved that the kayaks and canoe were free to use. My husband and brother-in-law had the best time fishing on the lake. They spent hours out there and really enjoyed it. The owners also have a boat that you can rent to tour around and we highly recommend it! The scenery is absolutely stunning, and it's such a great way to take in the beauty of the area. This place is also very family-friendly. Our 2-yr old daughter had such a great time exploring, playing outdoors, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. It was the perfect place for our family to relax, unwind, and make wonderful memories together. Overall, this place went above and beyond our expectations. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived, and we're already looking forward to coming back. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

What a beautiful little gem this place is! Steps from the lake with lots of outdoor spaces to enjoy by the waters edge. Spotlessly clean. Mark is a wonderful host that ensures you want for nothing. Can’t wait to go back!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Dans cet endroit idyllique! L’accueil de Mark était très chaleureux et attentionné. Le logement n’est pas très grand mais largement compensé par l’accès direct au lac avec le ponton et la possibilité d’utiliser les canots et paddle. Très calme et apaisant je recommande!

Wow! We had such an incredible experience at this cottage. The cottage itself was very clean, organized and had everything you need to cook (including oils, vinegar and spices).The area is more beautiful than the pictures show! The included kayaks, paddle board, canoe and water mat were all easy to use, with provided life jackets. While the lake is shallow and weedy, we were still able to swim and fish easily. Mark is an absolutely lovely host, he went above and beyond with offering every amenity he could provide, giving tips and tricks for equipment, fishing, and even helping us figure out the outside grill and sink. Mark lives right beside this cottage, but provided us with complete privacy during our stay, and was closeby when we had questions! If I could give this experience more than a 10/10 I would. Highly recommend staying here! Thank you to the Read Family!
