My teens and I spent a week at the Far Far Away Cottage and cannot say enough good things about this gorgeous place! The cottage is so beautiful, the property and lake view so relaxing. I enjoyed watching the hummingbirds every morning from the screened in porch, while drinking a coffee and listening to all the other birds. Nightly canoe rides on the lake, watching fish jumping and we even were able to see two beavers swimming across with their little heads poking out of the lake as they swam along. The hammock by the water was too easy to fall asleep in and watching the deer walk a path in front of the property was so fun. We had a wonderful week and hope to be back again soon!!

We loved our stay at this beautiful property. It is just as beautiful in person as it is in the photos. The hosts were very responsive when we had a small issue. I can't thank them enough. We would love to return.

A home away from home. This cottage is beautiful inside and out and had everything you need to be comfortable and more. The kitchen is beyond equipped, the place was sparkling clean and every detail to ensure a comfortable stay had been thought of. Greg was an excellent host, the communication was clear and accurate. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us, we hope to visit Far Far Away again soon!!

Amazing destination

What a fantastic long weekend getaway at the far far away cottage. The pictures don’t do this cottage justice, it’s absolutely stunning. Everything was better than advertised and the host was easy to communicate with. 10/10 on all fronts and will be returning next year.

This really is a delightful airy pleasantly cool property with plenty of natural light, a place secluded enough to be private but close enough to shops etc just a few minutes down the road. It was super clean when we arrived and the wifi worked perfectly. I particularly enjoyed rowing and kayaking on the lake and sitting next to the busy hummingbird feeder. The handful of neighbours are far enough away that you don’t hear any noise. Highly recommended.

Fun at Far, far Away

Our group of six adults was fortunate to enjoy three nights at the end of July at the cottage named Far, far Away ( named for a place in the movie, Shrek) Situated on a private spring-fed lake, it is exactly as presented in the listing. The water was perfect for swimming, fishing and paddling around. The hammock was a hit too. The cottage -more like a lodge -is fully equipped and very comfortable. We had a bbq each night followed by a campfire. The wood was provided by the host. Communication with the host was excellent. I would highly recommend Far, far Away and would love to return.

Far, Far Away was perfect!

We had a little trouble finding the cottage, but that was no fault but our own as we put the directions in wrong. But...once we got there...we were blown away by the place. It was absolutely mesmerizing. Everything inside was clean and organized, not to mention there was tons of things to use! (I.e., paddle boards, paddles, kayak, fishing rods, kitchen cutlery/utilities, towels and bedding). The huge window was where I spent my rainy mornings, looking out at the gorgeous view. The host was also super active in answering any of my questions while we were there. I would say the only reason this amazing place lost a star for this review would be because of the rules left on paper at the cottage. All of them made perfect sense (how to use the fancy BBQ, how to use the dishwasher, etc.), but one of them was about taking all your garbage & recycling with you when you left, as well as make sure thr place was exactly how you found it. It made the additional $200 cleaning fee feel a bit unfair in the end. Either way, this was a wonderful experience - our indoorsy kiddo got out there and fully enjoyed the outdoorsy experience, so much that she wants to go back again next summer. Thanks, Far Far Away!

Thanks for that awesome review! I’m so glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay. We do ask that you leave the cottage neat and tidy when you leave but we don’t expect it to be spotless we do have a professional cleaner that comes in after every stay to take care of that:) looking forward to having you as a guest again next season. BTW the cleaner did comment on how tidy the place was when you left! Much appreciated.
