What a great week … as others stated the property exceeded expectations …. Nice and roomy.. Kitchen is super well equipped … checkin was a breeze as door code provided and easy entrance. Master has great view of lake and sunrise… 2 bathrooms with showers is a bonus… water toys and inflatables were great as was the hot tub … lots of comfy chairs on dock and deck…. Screen in room overlooks lake and is excellent for your morning coffee and reading time…Fire pit area is large and roomy and ample wood was provided. The backyard area is nice and flat for your cornhole games and whatever else you need Internet was good and fast and allowed people to work if needed and be on video calls speed was always over 60MBPS All in all an excellent property and we would not hesitate to rebook again This feels like you are borrowing a friends or family members cottage vs a rentalPlease don’t hesitate in booking this property !!!

We had such an amazing week. Sun, fun & memories made. The cottage is beautiful. We loved sitting in the screened in room in the evenings. The owners were so wonderful, leaving everything needed for a wonderful week. The lake was great for swimming. The kids had an absolute blast jumping in off the docks. We are already planning our stay again for next summer!!

What a magical lakehouse! We couldn’t call it a cottage as it is far too nice for that. When we arrived we marvelled at the size and comfort of the space. The photos really don’t do justice to how spacious, bright and beautiful the house is, indoors and out. There are expansive windows facing the lake, well planned upstairs and downstairs lounges, sunbeds, docks and massive deck with a beautiful lake view. And more!!Two docks provide morning sun and one for the afternoon light! A cozy and cool screened in room was ideal for late night gatherings but what surprised us most of all was that there were no bugs to speak of!! The lake breeze and flitting dragonflies took care of that for us!!The master suite was stunning with lake view walk out doors and a cute table for our morning coffee fix! The ensuite has the best deep soaking tub that was heaven for our hardworking kayaking muscles!!The hot tub outside was comfortable and easy access off the deck with lake views. Perfect to soak in while watching the children play on the grass.The lake is healthy, clear and warm and we could dive right off the dock!!!The owners surprised us with a gift basket with special Canada Day gifts for young and old. They are easy to communicate with and readily available. They even got in touch with us after we left some jewellery behind! The kitchen has all the bells and whistles, is stocked with all essentials, an excellent fridge and storage for days. The most incredible cottage experience
