| We have rented this cottage numerous times since 2019. It is our favourite place!
With 2 young kids, the public beach is great for playing in the sand and swimming. The beach is kept nice and clean.
The cottage is very comfortable and has all the amenities you would need. The cottage is spacious, has comfortable beds and has air conditioning. We stayed once in the winter and it was nice a cosy with the gas fireplace.
There are kayaks, paddle boat, and canoe and enough room at the dock for our boat. There is a lot of outdoor seating both on the deck and dock.
Kinmount is a short drive away and we enjoy visiting the park and walking around the historic dam.
Highly recommend this cottage!

| This cottage has everything you could want. We have been coming to John's cottage each summer since 2016. The cottage is fantastic for younger children as the cottage is next to the public beach. It has a beautiful dock with lots of room to lounge and also two big decks to spread out. The cottage has lots of space with 3 bedrooms and also a Bunkie with 3 beds. The cottage has A/C and also a generator to keep the power going if something happens. There are a number of water toys including paddle boards, kayaks, peddle boat, and a canoe. Crystal Lake is close to Kinmount and it's not far to Minden and Fenelon Falls if you need to get something or go out for the day. We look forward to coming back next summer!

| John's cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The cottage has lots of trees so it feels very secluded (the neighbour we did see when we arrived was kind by offering his help if we needed anything), has a lovely view of the lake, it's bright with natural light, loved having the heater on while in the family room watching movies on the large screen TV, and comfy beds. John was fantastic with communication before, during and after our rental. We'd be happy to rent John's cottage again! Thanks for sharing your family cottage with us.

| Crystal Lake Shores is an absolutely beautiful cottage! This week was a treat for us as we celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary with the family. The cottage has everything you need as if you're at your own home. Beautiful waterfront right beside a sandy beach - perfect for families. Lots of water toys: pedal boat, paddle boards, kayaks and canoe - everyone will have a great time. The power did go out while we were at a cottage due to a massive storm across Ontario (the power was out everywhere). However, this cottage did have a generator and kept us comfortable. We were beyond pleased! The communication with John was outstanding and he responded quickly to any questions we had. Every attention to detail was provided and we hope to return next summer!
Thank you John for allowing us to stay here. We are truly grateful for the incredible experience.
