Check in was easy with a door code. Furniture was comfortable, nice gift basket was on the table. Beds were comfortable and the place was fairly clean. Star gazing was incredible at night. For those late October night viewing a heater on the deck could be a nice bonus. Overall great experience. ##### Matt L. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### WC M. 20 May 2025 #### No wifi The cottage has a stunning view and the dock off the lake is wonderful for a relaxing getaway. The house had no wifi even though it says it did due to some connection issues. There is no air conditioning which was ok for us as it was cool for most of the weekend. There is not alot of pantry space for food brought up and the bathroom is very small. My husband of 6'2 found it difficult to navigate. The beds were extremely soft for our liking but overall we enjoyed our time away. ##### WC M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel S. 19 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Calma retreat , is the best place we've stayed This rental was amazing. It was exactly what we were looking for. My wife and children look forward to our yearly trips up to the Peninsula , and so far, we all agree this was our favourite place to stay. It was clean , quite and right on the water front. The location is perfect , its close to everything the Peninsula has to offer, or if you're like me, you can just relax on the dock and enjoy the beauty of Miller Lake. One thing that MUST be said. My wife and I usually have problems sleeping in places that aren't our home. But the beds were SO comfortable ( and didn't squeak ) that we both slept like babies. I cannot reccomend this cottage more. We will be coming back again. ##### Daniel S. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Li M. 15 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Li M.
