We had a great weekend stay! Everything was great, it had all we needed for a comfortable weekend away from home. We were so happy to be able to make our own meals instead of eating out all weekend.

This cottage is just like pictures on website, however the new couch as stated was worn out. We had to use our lawn chairs for outdoor and indoor sitting as not enough comfy furniture to sit on. We brought our portable sun shelter as there was no shade/trees to sit under. The swimming was excellent, no weeds or rocky bottom, shallow entry gradually getting deeper which was awesome for our little grandson. It has a large dock that accommodated large boat, tin fishing boat, paddle boat and sea-doo. It also was pet friendly which was a bonus!! We would definitely come back again!!

We had a lovely stay at this property. Everything was as described and we found the cottage well provided and clean. Of note, we did not see a fireplace but made good use of the firepit:) Frank was very responsive and accommodating and answered most of our questions timely. We had a problem checking in as something went wrong with the automatic message but Frank was very dilligent in solving the issue.Overall we had a lovely stay and would come back again.

Everything was good. We really enjoyed our stay. Only thoughts on what we sort of expected. Lacking any dish cloths, face cloths etc…. The yard gets full sun until mid afternoon which we definitely do not want to complain about. Felt patio should have a better dining table sitting area with some sort of shade for outside dining. With cottage accommodation, having 2 chairs around the firepit is not enough. The furniture on the deck was not suitable to bring to the ground. Other than beds, furniture was not comfortable. Overall we had a good time. Location was good for us. Just felt the above mentioned would have been provided.

I had an amazing stay at this cottage. The place was clean, cozy, and exactly what I needed for a relaxing escape. The interior was thoughtfully put together, with everything I needed already there — comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.The location was peaceful and quiet, surrounded by nature, and still close enough to town for anything I needed. I especially loved the outdoor space — perfect for morning coffee and evening relaxation.Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back. Highly recommend!

Beautiful spot

The property is in a beautiful location! Can’t be beat! The only issue we had were the beds were extremely uncomfortable and need a mattress topper or new mattresses for comfort.
