The cottage was beautiful and we enjoyed the inside and out. Lots of room to play games inside on rainy days, and a great deck area for those warm sunny days. Kids had lots of fun fishing off the dock. The hosts were quick to answer any questions we had. The use of kayaks, canoe, and peddle boat was great too!

This was an absolutely amazing stay! The pictures really don’t do it justice. It is a peaceful retreat with everything you could ever need. Our host was very receptive to us during our whole stay. She allowed us to use her kayaks and paddle boats. There were all utensils, pans, cups everything there for us! Bedding and everything as well. Thank you so much for a great stay - we will be back for sure!

Great cottage - clean, enjoyable and relaxing!

We really enjoyed our stay - nothing but good things to say! Very quiet place on the lake with a small beach area, dock and just a great property. The inside of the cottage was spacious, clean and open. The space was updated and had everything we needed for our stay. Thanks Lisa & Dave - I'm sure we'll be back again next summer!

Excellent property on Quiet lake

The cottage was in excellent condition and had everything we needed. All modern amenities. The property was well maintained along with all the canoe’s and kayaks. The lake was great for some paddling through nature. The hosts were great and responded to all needs. Only downside was lake was weedy so not great for swimming.

Great Cottage!

The cottage was great! The interior was clean and spacious. The views were great, and the area was wonderfully quiet. Lisa and Dave were incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay. Overall, our experience was thoroughly enjoyable. During our visit, we encountered one drawback - there was blue-green algae in the water near the dock on the property. Understandably, this is beyond the owner's control. However, if you plan to bring your dog please avoid letting them go into the water near the shore, or drinking from it to be safe!

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. Like you said the blue-green algae is not in our control. It’s been a bad fall for blue algae in our lake ,Maclean lake and Gloucester pool lake. Thank you for leaving the cottage neat and tidy.

This was a great property. It had all of the amenities that you would need. It was very clean, bright and the AC was a life saver. The couches were comfy and the dining room table was huge. There was lots of movies to watch, ROKU, board games and ping pong to keep us busy. The lake was very peaceful and a gem to paddle board on. We loved the sound of the train going by in the distance and the stary sky at night. The weather was too warm for us to have a bonfire - but it was available. Sitting on the upper deck or on the dock in the lake in the morning with a coffee was so relaxing. The only drawback was the amount of deer/horse flies - but that is not the fault of the owner. I would recommend this property to anyone. It was amazing. Thanks Dave & Lisa.
