A NOTE ABOUT OUR PHOTOS: We have noticed that for some reason (our camera? or the website?) is tending to "scrunch" up the pictures and makes the rooms appear smaller than they actually are. It would appear to us that one could add 4 - 5 feet to some of these pictures to get the real perspective.

| It was our first time visiting Manitoulin Island and we had an amazing week at the cottage. Cottage has everything you need and very well kept. We had so much fun swimming in the lake, fishing, making bbq and roasting marshmallows over the campfire. Central location to the most tourist attractions. Apart from popular Bridal Veil falls and Cup & Saucer trail we enjoyed swim and local brewery at Gore Bay, visiting some of the lighthouses, and Perivale Art Gallery. Thank you Dena and Dave for your hospitality!

| Just realized we forgot to write a review for this stay in 2020. It is so incredibly relaxing that we just booked our 3rd stay for summer2021. This is our home away from home. From the moment we arrive we stay relaxed at peace and feel the stress free living this island gives. Dena and Dave's cottages are worth the stay and we are so excited for summer 2021. Hiking, miles and miles of kayaking, fishing and the sunrises on the dock. This could not happen without the gracious hosts that the Barnes are.

| We had an amazing week and David and Dena were the perfect hosts. Anything we needed was taken care of. very generous hosts as everything you can need was provided at no extra costs. The fishing was great and who would of guessed the honey hole was yards from the main dock. Several big bass were caught. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular and we spent a lot of time in the water, enjoying the refreshing dip and many many kayak rides. So many tourist attractions near by. We will definitely come back next summer. Most important this was a very quiet and private area where we were able to recharge our batteries.

Owner response: Thank you so much, Yvonne and Brian, We are so pleased that you chose to spend your vacation here on beautiful Big Lake. We enjoyed having you as our guests and are looking forward to seeing you again next summer. Kindly, Dena & Dave | |

| My family and I like making yearly trips to the island every summer. We have stayed at camp grounds in the past and knew this year we wanted something more intimate. Dave and Dena's cottages provided exactly what we were looking for. The bigger cottage was quite spacious and the deck was prefect for relaxing with music and refreshments. The beautifully finished docks continued the privacy to the water for a warm swim due to the shallow lake levels. And for the weekend warriors, please let that 4 pound bass know him owes me $11.00 for a Hula Popper.
