Guest Comments

"Great waterfront and wide open grass. Liked the hammock. Very well maintained. Bedrooms have wonderful balcony. Lots of stuff to keep the kids busy."

S. Hubay

"The cottage was perfect for what we were looking for. It was large enough so that everyone had their own space and you never felt like you were bumping into each other. It was also perfect for small kids with the flat lawn and beach area. The kitchen was a nice size and there was a big dining room table for all of us to sit together for meals."

B. Arsenault

"Lots of space packed into a small area inside the cottage, with 6 of us in the cottage, it still felt like there was lots of space. Being on a bay in a large lake allowed us to feel like we were isolated but also allowed us to explore in the canoe. We really had a good time. The community around the cottage seemed quite nice and the lake was a combination of peaceful and active, with lots to do."

A. Sinha

”unanimous praise from our family members, we had a great week”

M. Rogano

”We had a great time at this cottage and would certainly book it again”

C. Steiner

“The cottage description was great – very large, ‘airy’ cottage with lots of room for adults and children. We really liked the spacious lot down to the beach, it was great for playing soccor, bocce etc. We also really loved the firepit at night. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone – although we ourselves will not be renting a cottage next year.”

L. Fisher

"This was our 3rd or 4th time at this cottage and we appreciated the new BBQ and the new furniture. This cottage suits us very well and we look forward to it each year. Thanks for everything."
