| We had a very pleasant stay! Cottage is very clean and well equipped. Palmerston Lake is exceptionally clear and the surrounding area is beautiful.
Thank you Kathy and Don! We would definitely come again and perhaps experience a few days in another season on beautiful Palmerston Lake!

| We were pleased when we arrived and saw the cottage for the first time. The cottage was so cozy and comfortable and very clean. The kitchen is a good size with lots of cupboards for all your groceries. Even though it was a cool weekend we still loved sitting in the screened in porch. We have been to many lakes but have never seen a lake as clean and clear as Palmerston lake. Thank you Kathy for everything. You were very accommodating. It was so nice to talk to you about the lake and the area. If you rent this cottage you won't be disappointed.

| We had an amazing time everything was perfect extremely clean. I over packed because I was not sure what to bring as far as kitchen and cleaning supplies lol Kathy has all you need. The water was fabulous I'm not big on weeds this was sand bottom and not a weed anywhere to be found it was perfect. We had 1 morning early afternoon cool and rainy but could still enjoy it in the screened porch. We are planning to come back later in the fall and at least a few times next year. I would highly recommend this location all the cottages a great. Thank you Kathy and Don for sharing your little piece of heaven on earth . Truly a beautiful spot it feels like home.

| My family and I have stayed at both The Guesthouse, and The Pioneer over the years. These cottages are very clean and welcoming. The property is extremely well kept and Lake Palmerston as well as its surrounding trees is just absolutely breath taking. We have young children and they also very much enjoy visiting Young's Cottages. Our five-year-old daughter loves watering the flowers, raking the leaves, roasting marshmallows by the fire, going for rides on the paddle boats, as well as the petting zoo nearby. Kathy and Don have always made our stays very pleasant. We look forward to our next visit.
