| My family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) had a wonderful stay at North Star Lodge! Bekki and Ian were perfect hosts. They were very responsive and incredibly helpful with tailored recommendations for local attractions that appealed to our family - including an epic park with a zip-line! On our first night when we didn't feel like cooking they recommended the restaurant at the marina down the road, which had very yummy pizza.
The cottage itself is a home away from home. Clean and comfortable, plus it actually looks like the pictures! Tastefully decorated and well-equipped. Heaps of room for the 5 of us! The thoughtful touches, like beautiful fresh cut flowers, were what took the hospitality to the next level. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook all our meals and lots of fun extras (like marshmallow skewers). The bedrooms were comfortable with lots of closet space. We all LOVED the hot tub and made daily use of it. The outdoor space was also great for the kids to kick a ball around while we cooked.
We enjoyed having a lakeside campfire in the evening to roast marshmallows with the kids and enjoy some absolutely beautiful sunsets. These were definitely a highlight for me - something we don't get to sit back and enjoy in the city. The kids really enjoyed the public beach a few doors down from the cottage. Great swimming, big dock, and a nice shallow and gradual entry.
All in all, I can't recommend this cottage enough! Thanks Bekki and Ian! We will be back!

| We stayed at Ian's place a week ago and I can't express with words how much I've been missing it since getting home! We had the best time!!! The cottage itself is in such a nice little community and is very well kept. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything you could need, and the bathrooms were beautifully redone (I think recently because they seem brand new)!
The best part was the private deck/dock area. At first we weren't sure how it would be having to cross the small street to get to and from it, and this was quickly not even a factor. There was minimal traffic, anyone walking by was super friendly, and we really enjoyed our days down there and our evenings by the fire in the backyard.
I have to say that Ian and his wife are incredible hosts. From the second I reached out about booking the place, Ian was a pleasure! Very responsive and I even had a couple of questions while we were at the cottage that he promptly responded to. Wouldn't hesitate to ever rent this place again, we had a wonderful time! Thank you so so much!!!!!!!!!

| We spent a week here in August with our family of four (mom, dad and two kids aged 2 and 4). It was the perfect space for our family with so much to do close by (Bobcaygeon, Lindsay, Peterborough Zoo, etc). The house was relatively clean upon arrival and the kitchen was fully stocked with any cooking tools you might need. It was really nice that there were multiple sleeping options for the kids as well as two shower/ bath tubs. The bathrooms were beautifully done. We loved that the cottage had bedding, shower/ bath towels, beach towels, as well as a washer and dryer. The access to the dock was very close, just across the street and had a nice seating area as well as a big enough space for the kids to play. The one thing I would like to see next year (because we really hope to come back!!!) is a new fire proof mat on the dock. We had a few fires down there, and everything was fine but the fireproof mat was very worn out. We loved our stay and hope to be back soon!

| We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at North Star Lodge. The house is clean, comfortable, very well-equipped and inviting. The rooms were comfortable and well-furnished, and both the bathrooms and the kitchen had pretty well everything you might need. The backyard is private, with both sunny and shaded areas.
A real highlight for us was the lake-side deck which connects to the dock - it's quite private and includes a shaded 6-seat dining table plus a large area in the sun for lounging. The lake is very nice for swimming - warm but not weedy. The photos on the listing did not do justice to this deck/dock area - it was a wonderful surprise!
The property is on a village street so there were occasional cars going by, but even on the August long weekend (when we thought it might get a bit busy), most of the ?traffic? consisted of golf carts or kids on bikes. People use the road to get to & from their own properties but I would say traffic was minimal.
We had a great time and look forward to returning.
Thanks for a wonderful stay, Ian & Bekki!

| I've never enjoyed my time away from the hustle and the bustle of the city more than my time at this cottage.
We spent a full week here and highly recommend it to all of our friends. We visited as 2 families, 4 adults and 3 kids in total. The rooms were huge and there was enough space for privacy. The hot tub was exactly what we needed to relax from a day of fun in the sun. There was lots to do on property and off. When it rained we had fun activities inside and it really helped having access to WiFi and steaming services but we didn't need them for long cus the sun was shining almost the whole time.
I have no complaints and can't wait to go back SOON. It's definitely a home away from home. My daughter took her first steps here and so it has a special place in my heart.
Again, HIGHLY recommend. Book this cottage as soon as you see an opening.
