About the host

Hosted by Kesta

Host profile image
I'm from Ontario and love spending time outdoors—especially near the water. Hosting gives me so much joy because I get to share a place that means a lot to my family. I know how special it is to take a break, recharge, and make memories, and it’s an honour to create that experience for others at the lake.

Why they chose this property

We chose this spot because of how peaceful and beautiful the area is—it instantly felt like a hidden gem. The lake is calm, the trees are tall, and it truly feels like a place to slow down and unplug. What we love most is how quiet it gets in the mornings and evenings—you can hear the loons, watch the mist roll over the water, and just breathe. It’s the perfect escape from the city, surrounded by nature but still close enough to town if you need anything.

What makes this property unique

The peaceful lakefront setting and cozy, welcoming vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind—whether you’re sipping coffee on the dock, watching the sunset, or just relaxing by the fire. Great for families or couples looking to recharge and enjoy nature.
