The kids loved playing outside, exploring and the water access was just across the street. Public beach within a short drive and about 30 minutes from Santa's Village. We loved it here and will definitely plan on coming back 😊 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin C. 16 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Cottage Our group had a great stay at this cottage. We stayed just for a weekend, but felt like we should have stayed a week. Really lovely location, close to the water, great fire pit for relaxing at night, bbq, and anything you’d need in a kitchen. The water was a little yellow with a copper smell, but we anticipated this and had brought our own water for drinking and cooking so it didn’t impact us at all but felt worth mentioning. Overall a great stay in a wonderful location. Already looking forward to the next trip. ##### Justin C.

Beds were comfortable and bedrooms were spacious. The outdoor space was lovely and we enjoyed a lot of time out on the deck. The area was quiet and peaceful. Overall, enjoyed this location. ##### Tina B.

We planned well with brining our own water jug and pump and coffee machine, I'm not a huge fan of sharing things that touch my water. but having the option of using the supplied equipment is a nice touch. Overall for the price it was a very nice stay. -Darren ##### Darren S.

Aside from the family of ants that were in the ensuite room and the misperception of the lake being right outside the cottage me and my friend highly enjoyed this destination!

The over all cleanliness of the cottage was ok. There was a problem in the primary bedroom with mouse droppings, they were everywhere including on the bed. My daughter in law dealt with it and cleaned the room. The water was yellow but cleared a bit after a few days. The cottage is close to several amenities. The water access was not ideal for small children. ##### kim e. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sahil 9 Sept 2023 Liked: Communication Lake being so close to property was definitely a plus for us. Place was not clean as we were expecting their were spider webs in whole house, dryer was completely filled with dust and few more things. ##### Sahil Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly M. 15 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming little cottage This was exactly what we needed! We cozied up to a campfire, lounged in the living room, enjoyed an early morning coffee on the deck, and we utilized the kitchen space for several meals. The kitchen was fully equipped which was lovely and the bathroom was clean, providing a refreshing, hot shower every morning. Overall It was clean and inviting, quite charming really. I would stay there again. A few things to fix : I hope the hallway light gets fixed along with the fan in the secondary bedroom, (we were disappointed to be down a fan at night.) Also, a couple of the windows are broken, and that was a pain finding that out. Holly D ##### Holly M. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ana r. 20 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely stay, minor hiccups The property is very beautiful and well located. The amenities are good as advertised, except for the barbecue that was very dirty and its propane tank that was empty. The owner answered my questions about this and reimbursed us for refilling the tank. The shower and beds are very good. The access to the lake is steep, but manageable; you need to carry chairs and drinks, and the space is very limited (3 people max). We used one of the canoes multiple times. Carrying it up and down to the lake can be done by two fit people. We are very sensitive to smells, so we were happy that this place was clean and did not have any mold. Will definitely come back! ##### ana r. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Gail G., Whitby Ontario 15 Sept 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Needs more updating!!! Definitely not the owners fault for the weather. The place was small in the living area. Bedrooms a good size. Nice bathroom. There is still a lot of finishing work that needs to be done. Furniture could be updated. A gazebo over the picnic table. It’s nice and quiet. We had to bring our own bedding which was a hassle. Toilet was plugged but a plumber was called in quickly. Plumber said the toilet is not the proper toilet for the area. If the place was updated it would have been a live stay!! ##### Gail G. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jenna M. 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful area , could be cleaner, water yellow The area is beautiful & cottage as described. Could be cleaner - some hair, dusty bathroom counter, popcorn on floor. Biggest concern was the yellow water- like really yellow. Emailed homeowner to ask if it was safe to even cook with or bathe in, with no response . We had to go out and buy bottled water for cooking and drinking. Keurig didn’t work , which meant the coffee pot didn’t either. Also the baseboard heaters didn’t heat well- make sure you take wood for wood stove if it’s cold out. We enjoyed our time, but likely wouldn’t choose this one again unless water issue was fixed . ##### Jenna M. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Lindsey M. 21 Jul 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Not good for families - Beware! Stayed here for one week with husband and 4 kids. Mouse droppings on the kitchen counters and in cupboards on arrival. Cleaner had to return for mess thru out the house. Pots and pans rusted and dented unusable. Bbq wouldn’t light. Stove smoked out the house when lit. Coffee maker full of mold. MICE ran thru the living room and kitchen all night. Host said he wasn’t aware of mouse problem but multiple traps under kitchen sink. We had to set them up and trapped multiple mice. Husband had to take our disabled son home early after multiple nights of him not sleeping due to the stress of the mice infestation. House smells of wet dog and urine. Water access was not suitable and pictures are not of what it looks like currently and had to drive to public beach daily as we didn’t want to be in the house with all the mice everyday. Would not rent again!!! Host was made aware of issue and resent the cleaner said he would check in with us at end of the week. No follow up after this terrible week. This was our one trip this summer and this house was not for families. This house has been partied out and not set up for families. Everything is dirty and We feel ripped off and disappointed. This rental cost us eating out more then we wanted too and lots of gas as we had to drive to an actual beach we could hang out at. We spent all our summer vacation budget on this house and we’re left with 4 disappointed kids. ##### Lindsey M.

The kitchen very well stocked with everything you would need for cooking meals. Beds were very comfortable. However, lighting in the living, dining and kitchen was poor. I am an avid reader and enjoy a good book when away from home. Due to the lighting I could not read. A reading light and also a table lamp in the living room would be nice. Another area was the security cameras on the outside of the house. It was very intimidating to sit out on the deck knowing there was a camera on us. Therefore we did not wish to sit out there. We were only advised of the cameras after having booked the cabin. The listing should also make people aware to bring their own water. ##### Diane L. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022
