The plumbing was a little off The games available were ok Had a hard time getting in as the lockbox was not very good and the secondary access was just as bad. Once in it was clean. Need to have a better upgrade with the pots and pans. Some overall minor issues price was high need to share the expense.

Perfect location for a snowmobiling long weekend. Direct access to the trails from the back of the property. Host was accommodating to late requests (guest and pet addons).

We had the cabin for a week and it was great. The area is quiet, nice and a great place to start exploring, e.g. Algonquin park, Ottawa …The rooms are nice and comfy. The lake view is a blast.Communication was quick an easy through the app.One of the toilets quit its job and the host sent a plumber and the cleaning lady right away.The kitchen cutlery needs an upgrade and due to the fact that this cottage uses a well, there might be limited water and also water pressure is low.We had a great stay and enjoyed the porch, Terrasse and the Great Lake view. Went fishing and used the canoe. Close to Bancroft for getting every day stuff and to start a trip

Great cottage, convenient location

We stayed at the cottage in late September and had a great time. The cottage is large, clean and well furnished. Location is convenient, relatively close to Bancroft but still quite quiet.

Great place to stay. The only concern was there was not enough towels for bathing, as well as to use the hot tub.

This place was beautiful, clean, and had lots of fun activities to do. When we had to add a person last minute to our stay, the property manager was so kind and it wasn't an issue at all.

Right on the Snowmobile Trail....!

The property was just as described and was perfect for 5 guys with 3 trucks and trailers. The marked OFSC trail passes on the lake directly in front of the cottage. Communication with the host was excellent. We enjoyed the entire 5 night stay.

Amazing Family Getaway

We stayed for 4 nights and loved every minute of it. In the middle of the forest, water front and with LOTS to do! This place was amazing and we cannot recommend it enough! The house is gorgeous with open concept and nice views. The owner was super responsive and very friendly! Hot tub, kayaks, canoes, life vests, and EVERYTHING you need inside the house, you couldn't ask for more!!

Quiet & Secluded Beautiful Rental

The property was amazing with a lot of space (inside & outside), modern decor, great amenities, and incredibly peaceful. Loved the hot tub, kayaks/canoe, fire pit, and games included. Lake is small & shallow but great for kayaking. The owner answered all questions immediately and the entire stay was awesome. Sad to leave.

I had booked this cottage for my son to stay over the weekend with his group of friends to celebrate his birthday. They were 9 and had the best time! The place was clean, full of fun stuff to do, like playing fuss ball and canoeing. There were enough rooms and washrooms for everyone. The host, Mustafa, was amazing. He was quick to answer any questions we had. You will not regret choosing this place
