Beautiful property, would absolutely love to go again. Everything was tidy and clean, and the kitchen had all the items needed to prepare a few excellent meals. Lake was beautiful and serene. The host was also very friendly and super welcoming, I had no issues or worries at all.

Great time

Our flight was delayed, so we arrived very late at 3 am, while we had trouble finding our lodging the owner came to help us. The next morning we got a full breakfast and his son showed us the lake and helped us with using their sauna. Simple marvelous, thanks again we had a great time.

Bear cottage was a lovely surprise in the middle of the forest. We were delighted with the pristine, well appointed accommodations. Our host, Bernard, was absolutely welcoming and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for more.....We will return.

5 Tage Erholung am Kempt Back Lake

Super netter und freundlicher Vermieter mit sehr guter Kommunikation. Gemütliches und sehr sauberes "Tiny House", ruhiger Ort, eingebettet in die Natur Kanadas. Bäume, auch nah am Haus, sorgen für ein hervorragende Mikroklima. Gute Bedingungen - auch für warme Sommertage - basierend auf sorgfältigem und ökologischem Umgang mit der Natur. Guter Mix aus Sonnen- und Schattenplätzen. Kolibris und Finken besuchen die Futterstellen nah am Haus den ganzen Tag. Zugang zum See, zur Sauna, zur Kajak-Nutzung. Waschmaschine und Trockner können im Haupthaus genutzt werden. Alles wie im Inserat beschrieben. Sehr empfehlenswert, um dem hektischen Alltag zu entfliehen. Gerne wieder. Vielen Dank nochmals als Bertrand 😀
