The wood stove and heat pump kept the place warm and cozy. Beautiful spot on the river. Open concept cabin with a lot of the items already there, so less to pack. Hosts were very easy to communicate with and helpful. We would go back in the summer next time and try out the kayaks.

A perfect cozy getaway for a winter weekend, with a fireplace and hot tub to keep us warm even when we got almost 20cm of snow! Host was very helpful and friendly, and everything was just as shown on the listing. We will have to come back in the summer and check out the kayaking and fire pit.
Wintery view from the back porch

Hot tub was very clean. There is some things that could be fixed screen on patio door and cottage door also some blinds need to be fixed. The kitchen benches are needed to be replace as they are worn and catches on clothing.Other then a few minor things of wear and tear over the season, was a lovely place to stay.

The value of the pricing is off. Photos show a new umbrella on the deck, a full coffee maker and spice rack in the kitchen. Instead there was an old broken, unsteady umbrella, no spice rack and a hotel sized coffee maker. Though it boasts sleeping 6 adults - you could not serve more than four. The indoor table barely fit my husband and I, the outdoor seats four. There are 4 forks, 2 wine glasses and no family style serving/baking dishes. Despite their welcome book, and no prompting otherwise - there were no condiments in the fridge, the only seasoning provided was pepper and the remnants of a salt shaker. There are also no measuring cups or spoons, so be prepared to bring lots of kitchen staples, despite phrasing of a “fully stocked kitchen”. We are accustom to packing linens; towels and sheets, but were surprised when prompted to bring all blankets and duvets. We were there in the fall and didn’t anticipate swimming but with lots of pontoon traffic, a much narrower width and low water level - we had no confidence getting in and out of their canoe or kayaks. The hot tub also took 24 hours to warm up so was not available on our first night. It clearly hadn’t been cleaned since last use as we found a lemon wedge and band aid in the filter. Though I can’t speak to a more favourable season I would highly recommend the cottage can host, at most, two adults and two small children.

Stayed here a few days with some friends and had a wonderful time. The area is private but only a short drive into town. Lots of games and movies which was great as we got a bit of rain. We also enjoyed kayaking down the river.

Staying at this gem of a cottage was easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Key information was provided in advance and there are plenty of signs and labels within the cottage to make it easy to navigate. The property is great - a large deck, relaxing hot tub and spacious dock for those that want to relax. If you are looking for something more active, the river is perfect for SUP and kayaking. Highly recommend staying here, the hosts' thoughtfulness will ensure your stay is amazing.

Great cottage! Super cute place that has all of the amenities you could ask for. The hosts had thought of pretty much everything with a ton of different games, movies, floaties, and outdoor toys. View of the river was amazing and had a nice little swimming spot!

Check in was smooth and the host was great about notification and instructions. The cottage was well maintained and had direct access off the dock to the river. We had a fire ban and could not use the fire pit, but they supplied many games and movies that we could use and keep the family entertained in the evening. It also gave more time for the hot tub! It was a great experience. We spent 4 nights here. The location is not far from town and we went to explore the near by shops and ice cream options. We would stay here again!

Had a great stay with my family at this rustic cottage. The property was one of the most private ones that we saw from the river. Check-in was a breeze, the kitchen was well-equipped, bedrooms were comfortable, and outdoor amenities (hot tub, fire pit, canoe/kayaks) were great. Burnt River is great for swimming, and kayaking. I’d definitely recommend this cottage to others looking for a relaxing get away.
