True tranquility

We had an incredible stay at Tranquil bay lake. The Hosts provided great communication both before and during our stay. The cottage is a perfect size for a family of 4, with extra room for another couple or grandparents. It is surrounded by trees therefore provides lots of privacy from neighbouring cottages. The cottage was spotless and very well equipped. The kitchen had all the items one could need for a week stay. Kids (aged 5&7) had a great time jumping off the dock and playing in the small shallow space by the waters edge, hunting for snails and minnows. We went on some lovely canoe and kayak rides around the lake and small islands. Spotted lots of wildlife, birds and fish. Overall we had an incredible time and would not hesitate to return!

One of the best places we have ever been

Since we did our reservation the owners got in touch with us and everything has been so great!!! They have been very comprehensive with all our questions and everything has been perfect!! The cottage was very well equipped, nothing was missing on the kitchen and the place is perfect!! We were a family of 2 adults and 2 children (9 & 6 years old), and also an old couple that had own a cottage on their own for more than 30 years, so they knew what was going on the cottage country, and everything was just perfect! The cottage was so clean and with many instructions on the things you could have doubts. Also the owners have been in touch at all the time if we had any doubt or problem. We recommend this place 100%!!!!

We understand your reluctance on not giving a higher rating as per our conversation regarding the extreme heat conditions during your stay at the cottage. Unfortunately you stayed in probably the hottest week of the summer so far but we have now overcome the obstacles and air conditioning is being installed on August 20th. Thank you!
