| My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Baptiste Lake. The cottage was clean and well-stocked with everything you could need. It had enough space for five adults, but we lucked out with beautiful weather and spent majority our days outside on the dock and around the fire pit. The gazebo on the dock was perfect and we loved taking the canoes out to paddle and fish around the bays. We caught a few good size bass and a couple of pike right off the dock.
The cottage was very peaceful, we stayed in mid-Sept and it felt like we had the lake to ourselves during the work week. We also got to see the harvest moon and a partial solar eclipse while sitting by the fire.
The cottage did feel remote (based on what we're used to), but the property was so worth the drive in. The last 10 mins of the drive is hilly single track gravel. We recommend bringing in all your groceries and firewood on your way in because we didn't want to drive in and out once we arrived. There was firewood available in town and we found some on N Baptiste Lake Rd.
Thank you again Wendy & Jason for sharing your incredible property with us! We had a wonderful week and made some incredible memories.

| As long time cottage renters (20+ years) I have to say this was one of the best if not THE best rental my family have experienced. Everything we needed was there, the cottage was very clean and well equipped for a week long stay. The A/C was a nice touch. The dock is huge and stable with a gazebo offering some shade on those hot days. The fire pit landscaping was amazing, exactly what you see in the pictures. The large deck off the cottage offered those ?million dollar views? of Baptiste with a table and chairs to eat outside in comfort. Wendy and Jason were great hosts available for any questions we had. This cottage is a highly recommended vacation rental!!

| My husband and I spent a week and we were so pleased! The cottage has a stunning view from inside and out. The dock is where we spent the majority of our time because it's located on a such beautiful lake with clean water, lots of swimming, fishing and canoeing. We brought our dog who very much enjoyed the ramp in which she could go swimming off of. The cottage was very clean and was supplied with everything you need, even on a rainy day enjoying board games. We also enjoyed our nights around the beautiful fire pit. Thank you for an amazing getaway!

| We had a very pleasant stay. All amenities were as described and well maintained. The view from cottage was breathtaking. One can experience beautiful sunrise from extended platform over the water, and joyous bonfires at night by lakeside. It's a perfect getaway for family vacation. I would highly recommend this place.

| The cottage was absolutely stunning and had most of the things you'd need during your stay. Though, there was no toiletries (shampoo, soap, conditioner, etc). Not sure if this is due to Covid or is a standard practice. So, don't make our mistake of forgetting to take these (oops)
Also, no wood fire was supplied, so you need to take your own.
The inside could be cleaner, as there's a cleaning fee, but we weren't so fussed.
We enjoyed using the canoe and kayak provided.
The stunning view you see in the picture is what you get. Eventhough the weather wasn't on our side during our stay, we loved it nonetheless.
We didn't have the pleasure of meeting the hosts, but Wendy was approachable by phone and quick to respond to our enquiries.
We already recommended the cottage to many friends, and will definitely go back :)
