The beautiful view and private dock were absolutely perfect! The lake itself was stunning, huge, and so quiet that it felt like we had our own private space. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the essentials, and having a washer and dryer to dry our clothes after a day on the water was a fantastic bonus. The drive from West Ontario was long, but honestly, we’d do it all over again! We would recommend staying here. ##### Ankur M.

They loved it all. We were: 4 adults 2 seniors (fit but early 70s) and our 2 teens (16-18) . The canoe and paddle at cottage work great- as a bonus canoe is light to lift. We brought our kayaks and tied up our 18.5 ft boat for the week. The place was clean and kitchen fully loaded with anything you need (we brought hand soap) . Very memorable and terrific stay ! ##### suzanne s.

The bed mattresses were really comfortable. However, there were bunch of issues including inefficient dishwasher, hazardous electrical outlets at the same level as the kitchen sink and no labels on the drawers or cabinets. It was time consuming search for kitchen stuff. Owner was not easily reachable. Otherwise it was value for money. ##### Vik C. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Evelyn L. 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious and On the Water This property has some definite pluses - the location is beautiful, easy to find, and on the lake. It is private and very spacious! Lots of large, bright rooms and a lovely cottage feel with all the wood furnishing & decor. George was kind & quick to respond to our questions. We encourage the owners to have the kitchen deep cleaned, decluttered and updated, which will really improve things for the family chef :-) We loved the double fridges! Accessibility: If some in your group have mobility challenges, there is a walk-in shower, bathroom and large open space right on the main floor as well as a large main bedroom. However, it is challenging to navigate the de/incline from your vehicle to the cottage and down to the water. Caution too that the dock is a floating dock. ##### Evelyn L.

My family had a great weekend stay at the cottage. Overall the cottage was stocked and setup with everything we needed (with the exception of shampoo which I thought the ad stated was provided - I only found a few bars of soap). The beds and linens are crazy comfortable! The large sofa in the living room is perfect for large groups. We had a boat with us so the dock was amazing to have! Overall a great stay! A few details of the cottage are getting a little well used and will need updating (exterior seating, one set of kitchen lights didn’t work, toilet paper holder wasn’t attached the wall) but none of these really made much of a difference. The only really annoying thing was the host has an automated alarm at the front entrance that keeps saying “you are trespassing” over and over again if motion activated. This definitely wasn’t a nice welcome for our group as we arrived. Feel like that could be turned off when the cottage is rented. ##### Natalya A.

Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cody L. 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was our first time stay here and it was a great experience. We had 12 adults there were enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. We also had 4 boats and it was a little tight at the docks, but we were able to make it work. Very nice area. The water was a little rough at the docks over the weekend with all the boats going by. It did settle down during the week. You can tell they have been working on the house to improve it. ##### Cody L.
