This cottage literally has everything you could possibly need in both literal and figurative terms. Beautiful property with loads of choices - want to sit? Lots of possibilities. Want to be active? Lots of possibilities. The house itself is perfect- our family of 10 was very comfortable in it and were grateful for the well-appointed kitchen, which was a pleasure to prepare meals in. We hope to be back and would book this cottage again without hesitation.

Great cottage!

Great spot to get away from the city and relax. The cottage is spacious, clean, and well maintained, with beautiful views of the lake from inside and out. It had everything we needed, and Dominic was very friendly and quick to provide all the information required for a extremely comfortable weeklong stay. There are also a couple of towns super close by, so quite convenient for stocking up on food and drink. Would definitely come back here again!

Life is better on the lake

We booked this location for the third leg of our trip because it was central to so many things for us to explore, and we ended up doing none of what we had planned because it was just so peaceful. The pictures didn’t do the property justice and the view was just extraordinary. Thank you, Dominic. I hope that we will be back someday when the weather is warmer and with the rest of our kids.
