Peaceful and comfortable

We had a very relaxing stay in the cottage. The views from the large windows were lovely, and everything was there that we needed. Although it was snowy and icy, so we couldn't directly enjoy the lake, it was warm and cozy inside, a perfect place for a weekend away.

Mr

We rated this place a 4, because 4.5 wasn't an option. We liked how exceptionally clean and well supplied the place was. Appreciated the welcome gift. The views from the living room, deck and waters edge were spectacular . We were fortunate to have three fantastic sunsets. The cottage is comfortable and close to Tobermory and other places to see and hiking opportunities. The deck needs some maintenance or replacement. The plug in fragrances were too strong for us , so we simply unplugged them. Having access to the on-site kayak and canoe would have beeen nice. The wireless phone chargers everywhere were a nice touch.
