The property was as advertised and Tyler was very easy to communicate with. We were a group of 10 (6 adults and 4 children). There was sufficient space for every and the property has a great layout inside. The amenities inside were great. We enjoyed the kayak and canoe. The bonfire/sitting area is fantastic and we enjoyed the outdoor fire area every night. The town is only 5 minutes away in case you need anything but far enough away that you don't know it's there. The neighbors are close but we had no issues with noise or congestion. The lake is busy but great. There is not sandy area to play but the kids could easily walk into the water (not weedy) for swimming. We rented a boat one day (the marina is not far). Overall, we had a great experience.
We had a fabulous family reunion at this cottage! Tyler was an amazing hostâso welcoming and attentive. The property was spotless, and the lake view was absolutely stunning. Itâs just steps from the water, and the cottage is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. We loved our time here and would definitely recommend it to families or anyone looking for a relaxing getaway by the lake.
Beautiful, well maintained lake house. Perfect peaceful location right on the lake. Pictures don't do it justice. The host was friendly and very attentive. Will definitely be returning!!
My family booked this cottage to celebrate my moms 60th birthday and it couldnât have been more perfect! My only regret is that we didnât stay longer.
Every year, my family and I celebrate my wifeâs birthday at a cottage, and Iâm the one who finds the place. This year, I found an absolutely stunning spot that has outdone all our previous experiences. The cottage is surrounded by a lake on two sides, and the view is just breathtaking for someone coming from the city. Iâm extremely grateful for the cleanliness and the overall organization that the hosts put into the place. A special thank you goes to them when we started the barbecue and the host immediately came over to replace the propane tank and even the barbecue itself. Everything was perfect, it fit our family so well, and we had an amazing time. We definitely want to come back next year. Huge thanks to the hosts for everything
We had a truly wonderful stay at this lakeview cottage! From the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful and inviting. The cottage was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The views were absolutely stunning â waking up to the calm water and birdsong was a perfect start to each day.This was our first visit here, and we were especially happy to share it with my sisterâs family visiting from India for the first time. It turned out to be the perfect choice â spacious enough for both families, cozy in all the right ways, and surrounded by nature.Evenings by the firepit, mornings on the deck with coffee, and short walks by the water made for lasting memories. The hosts were responsive and kind, making sure our stay was smooth and comfortable.Weâre so glad we picked this place â it gave us everything we hoped for and more. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, scenic, and relaxing getaway.
We stayed with families with children aging between 0-8 and we all had a fabulous time. The place was as advertised and was very clean. The check in process was easy and anything we needed the owner answered any questions promptly. The views of the water were panoramic and stunning. Will become a long weekend tradition and be returning in the future.
Another great visit for our annual pond hockey getaway. Ice quality is always a roll of the dice but Tyler was accommodating with ice prep. Will be coming back next year.
Host was quick to respond. We were looking to rent some jet skis and he was able to provide a variety of options in the area. Cottage was clean, well stocked and had everything we needed. Would recommend
Pros: The cottage itself and location were great, plenty of room and gorgeous views. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Cons: Check in was not smooth, It was 10 minutes after my check in time and I had not received the details yet. Contacted the manager and was then given instructions but we were not able to get in. The alarm went off and it was then unlocked remotely. We received another code. The base of the bbq had not been properly cleaned for a while so it burst into flames with our food in it when we tried to use it the first time but after cleaning it out ourselves we had no issues with it, it's a good bbq. There were no paddles for the two child kayaks and the seats are broken on the canoe so bring your own if you enjoy kayaking or canoeing. A few adult kayaks would have been nice. It was a great place but I guess due to the fact it is currently for sale, the exterior has been somewhat neglected and no concern for the fact the boats are not really usable.
Very neat, clean, spacious and great spot. The cottage is very well maintained and is fully loaded with every thing you may need during your stay. Cottage is located at the end of the road with awesome view of lake on both sides. We stayed for two nights, wished could have stayed at least one night more, but was not available. Fellon falls is just about 15 mins driver that is a very nice place to visit.
Over all our stay was great, would certainly re book next year
Canoe/ Kayaks were available however they are good fit for kids under 14 years, would be great if two kayaks for adults may also be provided.
Its recommended if the check out time can be changed to 11am instead of 10am.
Over all we would like to give 5 star rating to this place and loved the cottage
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The property owner was really approachable. It was our daughterâs 1st birthday, so we wanted to create good memories with family. It was worth every penny.
