What a lovely home in a beautiful setting!Very comfortable furniture and beds and very clean. Well supplied kitchen for meal preparation. Wonderful view of the lake with a nice dock, fire pit and plenty of firewood supplied.The location feels out of the way and private but is an easy drive to Bancroft.The host is very communicative responding immediately to our questions.We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this home for a nice getaway!

Our stay at Paudash lake was absolutely fantastic. Five of us ladies on our much needed getaway with our dog had an completely amazing time! The house was beautifully located right on the lake and had everything we could need to make our trip memorable. The entire place was clean and the rooms had stunning views. Spent a lot of time on the dock lounging by the lake after some hikes at nearby provincial parks. It was a short drive from town for anything else we could need. Absolutely wonderful stay and we'll definitely be back one day!

We had 5 adults stay for a weekend, and it was excellent. The rental house was clean and tidy, the check-in was easy with clear instructions, and the unit was well supplied with everything we needed. The deck and dock were lovely, with a great view and access to the lake, and the kitchen/living ng room made for a perfect space for everyone to be together inside the house. Zara was an excellent communicator both before the weekend and throughout the time away, and was also very accommodating for us. All together this was a tremendous rental and I'd highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay! Even in the winter, the location is beautiful and the water views from the house are gorgeous. Our host was so helpful and always quick to reply.Just a heads-up to pack your own towels and toiletries! We also wanted to mention for fellow pet owners that the stairs are open-backed; our dog couldn't quite manage them, and since the bedrooms are all upstairs, it’s worth noting for those travelling with pups. We loved it here and are already planning a return trip for the summertime!

We were a group of friends/family and stayed for two nights in October. The place is super clean with all essentials you need. Kitchen was equipped with new dish sets, utensils, cups, pots and whatever you need for a pleasant stay. Appliances were also clean and fully functioning. We enjoyed both sitting around the fire pit outside at night and canoeing/kayaking during the day. The built-in wood stove brough warmth and good vibe while we had a movie night.Check-in and check-out was very easy. Zara was quickly responding to all questions and enquiries with prompt directions. We cannot wait to come back in spring!

Exceptional Stay — 10/10 Highly Recommend!Our family had an absolutely amazing stay and made so many special memories here. From cozy movie nights and games to spending hours ice fishing, everything about this place was perfect. Being right on the water made it extra special. Beautiful lake view, peaceful, scenic, and exactly what we were hoping for.The property itself is clean, bright, spacious, and incredibly cozy. It’s clear how much care and attention has gone into making guests feel comfortable and at home.The host was truly wonderful to deal with, she was incredibly kind, accommodating, and communicative from start to finish. She went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, and it was such a pleasure interacting with her.We would highly recommend this property to families, couples, and outdoor lovers alike who are looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway in Highlands East right on beautiful and big Paudash Lake! We will absolutely be back and can’t wait to return!
