Great property, amenities were above and beyond. Host failed to let us know that the key was located in a place different that what was listed, leaving our party in the icestorm for over an hour and was not able to be contacted.

the lockbox was stuck due to weather. and needed impact. the total delay was 10 minutes
Loved our stay at this property! Cottage was clean, great layout for two families with young kids, great amenities. Lake was shallow and pretty reed free.We had a wonderful time and hope to come back!
My family enjoyed the stay at the cottage. Itās abeautiful cottage with all amenities for kid and adults to enjoy the stay. They have a beautiful sun room with picturesque view. The location is awesome and very private. The host were quick to respond when we needed information. We look forward to coming back to this cottage next summer.
Our group of 7 had an awesome time at this cottage. Communication was great and there was enough room and activities for all. The canoes and kayaks were great for a day trip to Queen Elizabeth Highlands Park.
**Hot Tub was not working which killed the mood for the rest of the stay as it was one of the main reasons we booked it as suggested in the listing title**Place is clean and communication is good.

You broke the hot tub. And we had to submit a damage claim
It was really clean and host was easy to get a hold of. We had a empty bbq tank and told us where the spare was. It was a quick reply. Would stay here again. Fun by all
This was our second time booking a two nights stay at the cottage. Ladies group of 4. Plenty of living and sleeping space! The cottage is clean and has everything you need! We cozied up to the wood fire stove, played games & puzzles, and watched movies! The hot tub has a beautiful view of the lake! Brought our snow shoes and took a walk down the road to take in all of nature's beauty!
We had a small issue which we contacted the owner. They corrected the problem to the best of their abilities and even offered a small refund. Good to deal with

Beautiful Cottage with Strings Attached
The cottage was beautiful, with great amenities and a stunning view from the cozy sunroom. However, the listing did not include pertinent information that would have made me second-guess booking it. We had to bring all our own sheets/blankets and bath towels, there was no garbage pick-up (and the dump was closed so we had to cart it home in our cars), and the promised supplies (toilet paper, paper towel, etc.) were very limited. There were signs everywhere threatening our security deposit at the slightest infraction. It gave the overall impression that we were not to get too comfortable in the space. These rules and requirements should be very clearly noted in the listing, not held behind a "paywall" (wherein I have to book the space and pay the deposit to find out all these rules and restrictions).
Hello! Our passion for the outdoors and love for creating memorable experiences inspired us to share our beautiful lakefront retreat with guests like you. We enjoy hiking, fishing, and simply soaking in the stunning views that our property offers. As hosts, we take great joy in welcoming guests to experience the tranquility of lakeside living and making sure you have everything you need for a perfect stay. We believe that every visit should feel like a home away from home, filled with laughter, adventure, and relaxation. We canāt wait to host you!
Why they chose this property
We chose this location on Head Lake for its rare balance of peace, privacy, and four-season recreation. The lake is known for its calm waters, excellent fishing, and uncrowded feelāmaking it ideal for families and guests who want to truly relax without sacrificing access to outdoor activities.
The surrounding area offers easy access to snowmobile and ATV trails, quiet roads for walking and cycling, and beautiful natural scenery in every season. At the same time, itās close enough to nearby towns for essentials, dining, and day tripsāso you can enjoy the feeling of being away while staying conveniently connected.
Itās a neighbourhood where mornings are quiet, evenings are peaceful, and the lake is always the focal point. For us, itās the perfect setting to slow down, spend time outdoors, and experience lake life at its best.
What makes this property unique
Incredible sunroom that you can watch the sun set and rise from. Awesome rhubarb garden.
