Kevin and Laurie were great hosts who provided support and information while giving us privacy and respect. The cottage is located in a row of other vacation homes - the beach is shared. Usually everyone was respectful, but there were instances of loud "dune buggies" racing up and down the full length of the beach. Otherwise it is was a peaceful and pleasant experience. ##### Kristi T.

Communicating with our host was easy and we had prompt responses both before we left and during our stay. The cottage was very clean with many bedrooms for privacy and relaxation. Open concept living room and kitchen was perfect for our two families to cook and be together. The cottage is well equipped with kitchen supplies. The screened in porch was lovely at night for playing board games, and we had dinner on the porch one night. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and going for walks. Plenty of couches, chairs and places to read, unwind and relax. Would book again. ##### C W.

But privacy in shower and toilet is only via curtain from a passageway from L.R. to the downstairs bedrooms. A door would be much more appropriate. ##### ira g. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie C. 21 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gorgeous summer sunsets The cottage was a great set up for two families. The kitchen was very well stocked and we enjoyed BBQing. The hosts had a giant floating water mat that provided hours of fun. The water was the perfect depth for our youngest. Our oldest was wishing for deeper swimming water, but enjoyed the swimming mat a lot. I loved kayaking on the still water in the sunset. Having Pembroke nearby is very handy. We had a super time and a much needed gateway! ##### Julie C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea D. 17 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Cottage Experience Kevin and Laurie are new owners and amazing hosts of this property. They continue to update and upgrade this cottage which has lots of potential. We found that it had all of the comforts we needed, including excellent wifi for the teenagers! The beach is sandy, wide and shallow, water shoes are a must but the water is as warm as described. The kids loved the lilypad, kayak and SUP. The cottage also has a large fire pit which was perfect for family gatherings. The sunsets are beautiful and the stargazing is fantastic. Overall, we really enjoyed our week. ##### Andrea D. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne M. 9 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great family getaway! Our family of 5 (kids are 8, 10 and 15) had a great time at this cottage. Laurie and Kevin were perfect hosts - very quick to respond and react to all of our questions. The cottage has lots of space with a huge sectional coach in the living room that fit the whole family. The internet was very reliable which allowed for a few relaxing movie nights after a gorgeous sunset and a campfire. It was also very well stocked with kitchen tools, board games, puzzles and fire wood. The quiet, calm water is very shallow but perfect for water toys - paddle boards, kayaks, floating water mat, canoe...all tons of fun (we brought some toys and used what was supplied by the hosts). The space between the cottage and the waterfront was not really a 'beach' during our visit. It could have been from the unusually wet season but this area was more mud than beach. It didn't bother us, we just anchored the water mat to a buoy and used it as a floating dock with the water toys. It would not be ideal for families with toddlers but for those with kids who are past the sand castle stage it was great. Water shoes are strongly recommended due to clam shells. We were able to do many off site activities - Hugli's Blueberry Ranch, outdoor movie night in Pembroke, Bonnechere caves, Petawawa (all 15 to 40 minutes away) and Ottawa (1.5 hrs). Overall a great property and a wonderful family vacation. Thanks Laurie and Kevin!! ##### Anne M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Andrea B. 13 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful place Nice place, plenty of room, and some nice extras (games, water toys). The screened in porch is great. The owners are close by and helpful. We left after just a few days as our son was quite injured stepping on a mussel. Needed stitches, on crutches. It’s a long walk to get to where it’s deep enough to swim, and there are sharp mussels. If we had worn water shoes, it would’ve been a better holiday. ##### Andrea B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Tegan L. 12 Apr 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great Family Getaway Overall great stay! Laurie and Kevin are great hosts and have added a few extra touches to make sure the kids feel special and have a great time (books, games, lifejackets, etc...). Neighbours are friendly. Property is old but new to Laurie and Kevin and still requires a lot of work but they seem dedicated to getting it up to a higher standard. We were their first guests since purchasing the property. NOT recommended for those with pet allergies, particularly cats but otherwise cozy, comfortable and has all the basics for a great family getaway. Highlights of the trip: goose migration (quite literally hundreds/if not thousands of geese coming and going), day trip to Barron Canyon in Algonquin Park and playing in the mud! April was a great time to visit no bugs, bonfires and close enough to Pembroke for anything you may have missed. Great screened in porch. Thank you for letting us stay and get a change of scenery! : ) ##### Tegan L. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021
