| This cottage is absolutely adorable! I love its waterfront location and the abundance of beautiful wood inside. It's impeccably clean, making for a very comfortable stay. The thoughtful welcome gift and handwritten card added a personal touch that truly made us feel at home. The property is immaculate, and it ranks among our top three favorite cottages. We can't wait to return every year!

| This is our 5th year staying at Shadow lake Cottage and it only gets better. We stayed for 2 weeks and didn't want to go home. Every year we come here there is always something improved whether it's big or small. The hosts Adam and Coralee are wonderful to deal with and provide everything you need to stay here. The setting is beautiful with lovely views and the interior is cozy, warm and always super clean!
Highly recommend it! Its our favorite place to come every year! See you next year!

Owner response: Thank you Michelle, we're so happy Shadow Lake cottage feels like your home away from home. It means so much that you've been coming back year after year and that you notice all the improvements we make. Can't wait to host you again next year. Take Care, A&C | |

| Beautiful cottage, spacious but cozy. Very well equipped kitchen and clean, modern bathroom. A wood burning fireplace where you can relax with a glass of wine, and enjoy good movies or your favorite music.
The panoramic window in the living room, let you enjoy fantastic view of the lake.
If you like hiking, there is a plenty of trails in the area.
Overall, we've had a great time. Will recommend to everyone. Hope to come back someday.

| Beautiful cottage that suited our family of 8 perfectly. Very nice waterfront with a sand beach for easy entry for swimming and lots of boats to use (kayaks, canoes, and row boat). The cottage came well equipped with everything that you would have in your own home.
