We found the cottage to be very comfortable and cozy with all the amenities for a restful stay. A few issues with the cleaning company doing a bellow average job in a few areas but the property manger looked after it. The beds were very comfortable and the amenities outside on the decks and the dock area were perfect. We would definitely consider returning in the future. ##### Craig B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert R. 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Cozy Retreat in a delightful Cottage The cottage itself was a perfect blend of great lakeviews and modern convenience. The interior was tastefully decorated with a warm and inviting colour palette, and the furnishings were both stylish and comfortable. The living area was spacious, making it easy to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing us to prepare our own meals with ease, and the dining area was perfect for enjoying them together. One of the highlights of our stay was the outdoor space. The 2 tier elevated deck provided a serene setting for morning coffee or evening relaxation, and the well-maintained patio was ideal for enjoying a meal al fresco. The picturesque surroundings and the peaceful ambiance made it easy to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cottage's location is not your usual secluded location but more country community with houses left and right to the property. However the neighbours are quiet and mostly not there when I was staying at the property. It was conveniently situated near local attractions and offered easy access to walking trails and scenic spots. Whether we were interested in exploring the nearby town or simply enjoying nature, we found plenty to do without having to venture too far. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. ##### Robert R.

It has a a beautiful view of the lake and it has everything you need from glasses, plates, they even had plastic sandwich bags and Tupperware if needed. My only complaint are the bedroom doors were not hung appropriately and did not close! There is only one shower. Other than that, the house was perfect!! We had a blast! ##### James D. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrian A. 28 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic location The property is well maintained and exactly as pictured! All amenities functioned as expected. We barbecued and good food was available at nearby restaurants. It was a little early in the season so swimming was not in the cards but the Jacuzzi was prepped and ready and a kayak was there to get out on the water. Just being able to relax and get some sun on the deck with the well timed warm spell was great. Management was very accessible throughout the process. Thanks Christina ##### Adrian A.
