Great Family retreat!

This cottage has enough space to comfortably accommodate two families, or for one large family to really spread out. The kitchen and living rooms were well supplied with everything we needed, and there were lots of options for entertainment, even for a long rainy week. The watercraft were plentiful and in great shape, the linens were clean and comfortable, and Chad was 100% available to answer questions. We visited in summer, but this would also be a great cozy cottage for a winter getaway. We had a great time!

Wonderful autumn stay

My husband and I had a lovely stay at this property in September and got to experience the beginning of leaves changing. The cottage was clean and had all of the amenities we could have needed. We loved the wood burning stove for chilly nights and took advantage of the stand up paddle boards as well as being able to use the dock to tie up our boat overnight that we bought to be able to fish the lake. Chad was very responsive and helpful when we needed to communicate. Lovely property, good sandy beach and an overall a great stay!

Excellent experience

The cottage/property is simple, clean, comfortable and has loads of space. The kitchen had everything we needed, bedrooms were comfortable and plenty of entertainment options for bad weather days. Chad was fantastic to deal with. He was clear and very responsive. Overall, this was an excellent experience.

View of lake - Large cottage - can walk into lake

There are two separate large couch spaces on main floor. One has tv and other has large window with view of lake. Plus, couch with view of lake in master bedroom. Very well equipped kitchen. Huge dining table. You could definitely have ten people here. We had two dogs who loved playing fetch on the grass out front and running in and out of the lake. Host responded within minutes to all inquiries. We would go here again.

Great family cottage

We had a wonderful week at this cottage which easily accommodated our family and dog, with somewhere for everyone to curl up with a book, comfy beds, water toys and best of all - a dishwasher! Chad was super responsive to a few enquiries. The only thing I would comment on is that while the lot is private, the neighbors are quite close and friendly but noisy! We got lucky that we had most of the week to ourselves, and neighbors on both sides only showed up on our second last day. If you are looking for peaceful isolation, this is not the cottage for you.

Cottage was clean and inviting. Lots of outdoor toys. Lots of indoor games. The beach was small but sandy and shallow. Fishing was amazing! Kitchen was very well equipped. The washer and dryer were huge pluses for my wife. We had a great week!
