Awesome vacation!

We had a great Christmas vacation. The cottage was spotless, and the communication with Kirk was excellent. The location is awesome. We had plenty of snow we spent six days in the winter fairyland. We will definitely be back soon.

After a few hiccups finding the place, we arrived to find a very clean, well-appointed cottage with a well-stocked pantry, extra blankets, and a lovely dining room table that seated everyone with room to spare. Although the weekend was rainy, it didn't matter - everyone was comfortable and had a great time.

Cozy Cottage Comfort

Stayed at this cozy cottage over the Thanksgiving weekend. Cottage was very clean and offered all the amenities and comforts of home. Lots of space and comfortable beds. The wood burning stove added a nice touch and was well used due to chilly temps. TV reception and internet were spotty at times. The deck and stairs could use some TLC. There is a quick slope down to the lake which is not as visible via pics online. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend visiting.

Great cottage

We had an amazing weekend at the cottage. The wood stove kept the main and upper floor warm until morning. We used the heater downstairs and it was warm and comfy there too. Let Kirk know about the DVD and TV problems and he's fixing that. TV satellite still worked but no movies. Renters with kids may be a bit disappointed if they expect to watch a few movies, so needed to mention that. Great cottage with a beautiful view of the frozen lake. Kirk's the best host I've dealt with and I've rented a lot the last 10 years. He called me while I was driving up there to make sure we weren't lost. Thanks again and all the best!

Jeffs group had a fantastic time. There was 3 feet of snow, the lake was safe to venture onto with 10" of ice thickness and the weather was unseasonably warm on this particular weekend. I appreciated the feedback on the DVD players not working, as I do not normally check these when we clean there. I have purchased a new one and a set of new cables for the other one. All good now. See you again Jeff. Cheers! Kirk and Krista Horsfield.

The cottage was bigger than anticipated and quite open to accommodate 8 adults. The fall views were beautiful! Kirk is a wonderful host.

Amazing Cottage.

Our stay at Kirk and Krista’s cottage was amazing. It was very spacious with lots to do for all ages. It has everything you could possibly need. From the washer and dryer to even a dishwasher. The kitchen was very well stocked and the BBQ was great as well. From the sunrise on the dock to the campfires near the lake, we couldn’t have imagined a better getaway for our family. Would definitely recommend this cottage, and we hope to return again. Thanks so much Kirk and Krista!!

Great place, awesome waters

Nice cottage with a huge backyard that goes right into the water. Kirk was a responsive and helpful host. He's a got a fishing boat for rent which you can take out into the waters. The dock in the backyard is a cool fishing spot! Our family had a fun time, the cottage is well stocked with what's needed for a family cottage trip.

Very nice place

We stayed at the cottage for Victoria day long weekend, Kirk made sure that the deck is installed for our arrival. Everything was wonderful, the cottage has it all: dishwasher, washer, dryer, 2 washrooms and even foosball and Ping Pong tables, that we enjoyed. The basement is nice , my kids were sleeping comfortably down there. The bunkie is not really useful to have some guest staying there. Water was nice enogh for kids to wet their legs, I believe the water will be warm in summer. The lake is not huge, but beautiful and big enogh for a nice boat ride , fishing or tubing. Reception was not great and internet is a bit shaky when its really cloudy, but the satellite tv was was working spotlessly. Overall great host, great place, recommended!!

Favorite Getaway Destination

This is my second time renting this amazing cottage and we absolutely love it! Kirk is a great host and responded to all our questions before and during our stay. The cottage is spacious and comes with lots of indoor and outdoors entertainment options and the lake view is AMAZING! It’s so quiet and peaceful and feels like you have your private lake.
