We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage over the Thanksgiving weekend. The cottage was gorgeous, spacious, exceptionally clean with fully equipped kitchen. It felt like a home away from home. Although it was too cold to enjoy water activities, that didn’t stop us from spending plenty of time by the lake, enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The owner was also very helpful and quick to respond to any question, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful escape!

Great weekend getaway

Cottage was beautiful and clean, came stalked with all supplies you can think of. In a beautiful spot right off the lake with a great dock. Perfect for a peaceful getaway with friends!

While this guest was lovely to communicate with we had a lot to tidy up when we came up. The outdoor fire pit was not put back in order (all screens removed and ground covered with soot), an indoor table was left outside, and the smell of smoke from the fire pit lingered in the basement as the door was clearly not closed while burning. There were cigarette butts by fire and toothpick flosser found on deck. The most challenging part was the garbage rules were not followed. Since guest did not put garbage in bear bin as directed, we arrived to a bag of torn up garbage with used tampons spread around the property. Recycling was not taken to the curb either. Additionally there were dirty dishes put away in cupboard. Unfortunately this guest did not follow the rental requirements as outlined in the guest book and the cottage was not taken care of as we would have hoped.

We loved our stay at this cottage! The cottage was clean, beautifully decorated, and had all of items we needed! Our family created so many memories on the dock and the lake. The paddle boards, kayaks, and Maui mat provided lots of entertainment. The lake water was perfect for swimming and offered an unbelievable view. The host was easy to get in touch with and provided clear communication. Thank you for sharing your amazing cottage with us.

A beautiful getaway

The property is very well kept and the scenery is very nice. It’s a good place for water sports and the cottage provides a lot of toys for that. The drawback is mosquitoes which is rampant and it significantly reduces the outdoor living time on the beautiful deck

Thank you for your feedback on your stay with us and we are so happy you and your family enjoyed the beautiful scenery, plentiful water activities and well-kept cottage. Sounds like you created some wonderful family memories! We will be sure to recommend bug spray and citronella for those days that the mosquitos (aka mini-vampires) are out.

Unforgettable Family Moments on Chandos Lake

Our stay at Chandos Lake was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, the peaceful surroundings and crystal-clear water made it feel like a true escape. Days were filled with laughter, swimming in the refreshing lake, and casting lines off the dock—especially the unforgettable moment of reeling in a bigmouth bass!Evenings were just as magical—gathering around the fireplace with a guitar in hand, sharing stories, singing songs, and watching the stunning sunsets paint the sky in shades of gold and orange. It was a perfect mix of relaxation and family bonding.Chandos Lake gave us memories we'll cherish forever—simple joys, nature's beauty, and quality time together.

My family and I rented this cottage from Mike for Thanksgiving weekend 2025. The cottage is amazing! From the little designs (old skates on the wall) to all the board games, even the drive way that lead to the cottage, everything went together perfectly. The weather was getting a little chilly given that it's mid-October, however it didn't stop us from spending much of our time on the patio. It was perfectly size and fence up. Our dogs love being out there and we love spending time with them out there. The place was very clean and all the amenities were provided. We couldn't have asked for more. It was a wonderful weekend.
