This place was so clean and spacious. Well equipped with kitchen supplies. If you prefer stemmed glass wine glasses I suggest you bring some. We brought a lot of our cutlery, sharp knives and basically kitchen supplies because you never know what you will be missing. We didn’t miss a thing and left our stuff packed away. We had plenty of room for my family gathering of 8 adults and 4 kids. Lots of beds and rooms to choose from. Comfortable couches. Ping pong table was a hit but we spent a lot of time outdoors on the dock at the river and also around the fire pit. We do feel it was definitely family friendly. Pet friendly. The host was very easy to reach and he always communicated back very quickly. Would definitely recommend this rental.

Awesome place, even in winter

A nice large hottub, big open common spaces, and lots of room outdoors to roam and trek around in the snow made our stay really great. Oren was also extremely quick to respond and help with any questions we had.

A beautiful cottage getaway at an amazing location!

We loved staying at Oren’s gorgeous property! The river front was beautiful and we all were able to enjoy the provided kayaks and canoe and other water activities. The interior of the property was organized and clean and was plenty of space for our group of 14! There was a house guide which was helpful and easy to follow, and Oren was quick to respond to any questions.

Burnt River Estate

Great cottage for large groups. Very nice open spaces and well appointed bedrooms, with 4 washrooms. There is table-tennis in the basement and at least 4 TV 's so plenty for different couples or families. The deck and hot tub are awesome with a small playground for small children. Oren, the owner responds quickly to any queries.

Burnt river adventure

The actual house is amazing huge with all the amenities you would need We a total of 16 and there was ample room to sleep for all us. The property is very well secluded If I have one issue I wasn’t to crazy got was the water front, it was very small , no beach, and right around the water the area was covered with geese crap, you had to dance around obstacles to get to the water. Having said I was the only one complaining about the water etc the 14 loved everything about it. Overall I would give it a4.1/2 stars and would goback

Burnt River Estates Family Week

Our 4 adult children, 3 partners and 4 grandchildren had a wonderful week at this cottage. Everyone loved the cottage building, grounds, kayaking and canoeing on the river. We had lots of birds singing in the trees. Neighbours were unnoticeable. Indoor space spacious. Microwave stopped working so hopefully they will replace that. Could have used more table knives. Less than the number we had in our group. Air conditioning was colder in basement and certain rooms, but overall was certainly nice to have. Instructions on garbage was confusing. Was very pricey but you get what you pay for. We needed lots of bedrooms. Was thrilled to find this cottage not too far a drive for most of our family. River shoreline a little mucky but able to swim of water trampoline and dock. Would highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful time!! This property has everything you would want.

The location is really peaceful. We enjoyed kayaking and canoeing on the river. The house is very comfortable with room for everyone. The kitchen was large and well stocked with all the appliances/dishes etc you would want. There was firewood available for a fire and the hot tube was lovely. We all really enjoyed our stay.

Really nice space

This home is well maintained, equipped, and plenty of room for our annual "framily" vacation. Location is great - quick drive to grocery. Lots of geese around but a quick rake in the morning takes care of their "deposits". Oren us very responsive and helpful. Thanks for a great week!

Burnt River Cottage

The cottage is large, roomy yet cozy and the whole family of 10 had lots of room. The kitchen is awesome with a large island for everyone to help! The water trampoline was fun but the small beach area was weedy.
