The quaint and quirky little cottage was well equipt, well furnished and clean.It is perfectly located by the lake but we had a little trouble finding it as it is a little tucked away and easy to miss the turning.The views are spectacular whether seen through the large living room window or from the deck or dockWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great place to stay on the water. Solid dock and a beautiful view! Lots of stairs but we had a great time. Kitchen has just about everything you could need, though we did bring some plastic cups to have down on the deck. Check in was simple and easy. Definitely private which we loved for us and our dog!

Thank you for the feedback! I will definitely coach back the cleaning crew and make sure it does not happen again. It’s actually the first time receiving a feedback on cleanliness, we will for sure be aware of that in the future!

Property was great except the fire pit area was overgrown with weeds and unusable. The outside of the cottage facing the river needed to be cleaned.

The description of this property should include the amount of stairs from the car park down to the property. It is not next to the cottage but 3 steep flights of stairs down. The second bedroom is another flight of stairs down and the dock another flight of stairs. If you are lugging a lot of things this is important to mention especially if there are mobility issues. Also, there are no towels, dishcloths facecloths etc.. The cottage interior was clean but the outside was not. One windows you can't even see the lake out of because it's filthy. The view of the water from the deck is nice, there is a main road a short ways away so the traffic is noticeable. That didn't bother me but if it would bother you it should be in the listing. The stairs were treacherous at night as the lights on the top section did not turn on. The host was always available and made every attempt to answer my messages. The beds were comfy but I would not stay here again.

Property was very dirty and poorly kept. Bathrooms had mold in showers. Exterior was unkept, covered with spiders and some windows need replacing in order to see outside. Kitchen was functional but very old and had limited supplies. Beautiful location with a spectacular view and with some TLC it could be a lovely getaway.

We were very unhappy that there were instructions to take our garbage with us when we left. It is not pleasant to drive 100s of miles with a large bag of days old food in the car. We paid 145. for the house cleaning, surely this would include taking away garbage!Secondly, I had a painful fall on the final step to the lower deck area with table and chairs. I now have a large bruise to show for it!! This step is indistinguishable to the deck, as the wood planks are parallel to each other and of course same colour. Some sort of tape or paint along the edge of the step would be a warning to this!

Nice stay

All the improvements to the property are beautiful, but what is not yet done (ie kitchen upgrade and new windows) needs to be done. We were a bit disappointed in the 2nd bedroom being only accessible by an outside staircase. Neither of us wanted to use that room as it was very tiny and claustrophobic. You certainly couldn't leave children in that space on their own. So, my sister and I shared the kingsized bed in the upstairs space. The view cannot be beat and great expense has gone Ito revamping the stairs and decks outside and there was beautiful lighting making the outdoor spaces very inviting. Just wish we'd been told that the 2nd bedroom was very much separated from the vibe going on in the main cottage area. We would recommend the cottage but thought people should be better aware of the bedroom situation. Also the parking area totally lacks any curb appeal with a couple of dilapidated old RVs parked there. Felt kind of sketchy..but it is cottage country!

Beautiful view

There are good and bad things about this place. Good things: 1) the deck and dock are lovely and we spent most of our time there and watched a few sunsets with the kids. 2) the bed in the main bedroom is King not queen which was a nice surprise. 3) the view from the living area window and balcony are beautiful. 4) the inside of the cottage was very clean The Bad: 1) the second bedroom is a bunkey with a separate entrance (not connected to the other living area at all) which would be great if you went with another couple or had a teenage kid. Not great for littles (we ended up sharing a room with our toddler and our older daughter slept on the futon - not ideal for any of us) 2) the sit in bath tub does not work. (You may be able to lock yourself into the tub and try to fill it with the shower above but would take a very long time - knobs/taps, faucet and Jacuzzi functions on the tub do not work) *the shower works perfectly fine 3) the “meadow” where you park and where the fire is is not inviting and a mess. Did not use this area at all. Overall we had a good time but we would not rent it again.
