Liked: Cleanliness
Lovely property and great, responsive host. Unfortunately, the listing said there was a hot tub under "popular amenities", and there wasn't one. And the chairs in the dining room are not suitable for young children. But otherwise it was great. Canoeing on the river, bonfires with marshmallows, grilled food, comfortable beds... all wonderful. We had nine adults and two young kids who had an amazing weekend.

Exactly as Described

Beautiful property with ample to do, and unique decor throughout. Even on a rainy day, there is lots to do inside of the cottage.

Lots of things to do. Game options, sleds for tobogganing, laneway blown out well. Would come again to experience in summer months.
