What a great place!! It's very comfortable and the pups seemed to feel right at home too. That says a lot because our pups get nervous. Great little kitchen to cook a quick meal. Nice porch, both open and screened. Beds were very nice as well. Thank you for sharing your gem of a place with us!

We lived out weekend stay at this cottage. We enjoyed the front porch and back deck, inside the cottage was roomy and cozy. We are hoping to come back for another weekend! Great location.

Cute, clean cottage was perfect for us and our dogs for a long weekend. Screen porch and AC was the envy of our family who’d booked other cottages. Easy walk to Happi Jax and other lake attractions.

We loved this place!

This lake cabin was spotless and clean and smelled so good! The mattress was completely comfortable. I will stay again when I visit Canadohta Lake.

I’ve been going to Canadohta every summer for most of my life. This is by far one of the cleanest/nicest places I’ve stayed in. The host, Robyn, is also very responsive and helpful. Overall we had a great experience!

Nice. Not great but very nice. It had everything we needed but not everything we wanted (extra blanket, a few kitchen pieces, storage/hooks for jackets). We did not know what or where to go on the lake and so we went to Erie for activities for our kiddo A guide an
