My group had a wonderful stay at this property! The host was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Check in was so easy and the property is beautiful. The house had everything we needed to enjoy our time away!
The house was even better than the pictures showed. Our family of 13 had plenty of room indoors and outdoors. The fire pit was wonderful for a bonfire and smores almost every night. Being from a Finish background our family loved the wood burning sauna every evening. The host was available anytime to answer questions and was very prompt and friendly.
Overall would recommend this cottage and rebook. Theres a ton of space for activities inside the cottage and it was very clean and comfortable. Communication with the owners was so easy. The cottage is about 15 min away from the community and is very easily accessible. There are no real beaches nearby but there is a little park with sand and water access.Would give it a 4.7 overall. If the cottage had access to the water from the property and we didnt have to take our own garbage id give it a 5/5.
We were a family of 14 getting together for the first time in quite a few years. This property was perfect, it had the space, the bedrooms and the entertainment room in the basement. The owner was very accommodating with any requests. Great property for larger groups. Highly recommended.
Clean and comfortable. Lots of room for all 13 of us. Mattresses on beds were all firm. Some of our group were use to softer mattresses. So this was an issue for a few people. We enjoyed our stay there and would be glad to come back!
We spend there 7 days , had a great family time , owner was very friendly and supportive. Rooms and Washrooms are very clean and good . Good place for the holiday.
The property and the surroundings are fabulous! We were the party of 15, celebrating serious milestone birthday. We felt like kids having pool and table-tennis tournament, enjoyed hiking in the neighboring provincial park, loved the walk to the marina (did not remember its name!) and overall had a great time! We definitely want to come back!

Wonderful guests! So neat and respectful! Always welcome back!
WENT in March break - kids loved snow and ravine at back - loads of trees and privacy - house was great for space for our large group and area for kids to play - game room was great for group
Our group enjoyed our time at this property. It is very clean and there are lots of bedrooms for a large group. Our group really enjoyed the activities in the basement and the firepit. It isn't on the water which was unfortunate because we went during a hot summer weekend but there is a very small little lake beach a few minutes by car down the road. There are other larger beaches too but it little further away (15-20mins). The only real complaints from the group was that had no access to the thermostat but Milana was quick to make changes for us quickly. The rental process was so easy with Milana. She was quick to answer all of our questions.
My family and I enjoyed our stay in the place. It was very clean and spacious, perfect for the kids running around. The teens enjoyed the amenities such as the game room and sauna. The accessibility of the appliances also helped on making a convenient and fun stay. Thank you!
Great place to relax and catch up with family sitting around the fire. Gave the coffee maker a work out and tried out the sauna. Both were up to the task. Everyone was happy with the accommodations and said the would return,
