We did let the host know and commutation was good on his end, was told they was unaware of the problem. Has told us it would be taken care of but unfortunately that didn’t help our stay. There was a few other issues but I won’t get into all that. I hate to leave a bad review but unfortunately we was very disappointed in the aunts and conditions of the place, soft floors, uneven floors and what not. We did make the most of the stay enjoyed the beautiful view, fire pit, kayaks and fishing. ##### Becky J.

The views are breathtaking in the midst of nature’s beauty. There should be better signage on the road leading to the cottage. We arrived late afternoon, GPS on but service is not the best. We drove way past the small number sign. Four women alone on a wilderness road, no phone signal, no GPS and no SOS…..scary to say the least. Upon entry to the cottage, we were hit with cold dampness. Heat source , a wood stove, no paper, no kindling inside or outside could be found. Obviously unacceptable with our damp spring NS weather. Description stated a king, a queen and a double bed. There was a king in the loft but a single bed in one bedroom and more 3/4 versus queen, in the other bedroom. Sheets and pillowcases were worn thin and nubby in places but were clean. Seating to relax for an evening would have been much more enjoyable if there had been four chairs as seating in the living room area. As it was, 2 sat on the couch, one in the recliner and one on the hard , wooden , kitchen chair. Again not ideal. Outside furniture ( chairs) were dirty and had to be cleaned before able to be used. There was no microwave, a very inexpensive item that makes it so convenient to heat up or reheat a quick bite. It should have been mentioned that phone service can be spotty at times. A bit of airing out, some kindling, would have made a big difference Would we return to Loon Cottage? No! ##### Connie P.

Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cynthia B. 7 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful retreat This is the place for quiet solitude. Loons, songbirds and rustling leaves are the only sounds we heard. The road in is a bit rough but this rustic cottage is worth the ride. It was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Beautiful view of the pristine lake from the front porch. The canoe wasn’t pretty, but provided us with hours of paddling pleasure. I highly recommend Loon cottage for a peaceful getaway. ##### Cynthia B.

Dirt road in has some rough spots. Could of used a good dusting and sweeping under furniture. Very “Rustic” … ##### Barry E. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Evelyn S., Halifax, Nova Scotia 13 Jul 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful view Remote, rustic cabin where bird song and wind in the trees are the only sounds you will hear. There is a spectacular view of the lake which although accessible, requires good balance over slippery rocks. ##### Evelyn S.
