NOTES (Note)We do ask for a half down deposit for the rental of our cottage...the half down deposit is non refundable unless we have sufficient time (60 days) to rebook your intended rental week.. once rented... then and only then will you receive back 50% of your deposit. I am unfortunately (which is why I always recommend booking early) in the position of having to go by the golden rule... first to book (one-half down), gets the place ..and I do apologize for this ..Thanks in advance for considering us for your holiday:) REVIEWS | | Meggan |  |
| This was our first time staying at Dora's cottage and it won't be the last! The lake was fabulous with the exception of a snapping turtle who freaked my kids out a bit (15, 13, 11) but it politely stayed away. The peddle boat works beautifully and the fishing was AMAZING. My husband and 11 year old son must have caught 50-60 fish between them during the week.
The beds are super comfortable but squeaky. The AC runs cold and the breeze is nice. The fridge is massive and they even have a second fridge we used for drinks. The kids enjoyed the loft area and I enjoyed sitting outside in the screened in area first thing in the morning.
The deer/horse flies are pretty bad but you're gonna get that anywhere. We used a bug spray with 30% deet and it did pretty well to keep them at bay. They're worse after a swim when you're wet. I wore a brimmed hat in the water and they didn't bug me.
Overall it was a really lovely week. Dora and her son were fabulous hosts and very responsive and accommodating. We've been cottaging for 10+ years always looking for “the one” we'd return to year after year. I can honestly say our search is over.

| We stayed at Dora's cottage again this year. Our stay was even better than the previous year (see my 2024 review). The cottage is well maintained and everyone had a blast swimming in the lake again.
Thanks for the wonderful stay in 2025!

| We have rented this cottage for three summers with our two grown children and two grandchildren. The lake is small but clean and very quiet - no motorized boats. It has a lovely walk in beach ideal for young children and dock for the folks who like to dive or jump in to swim. The hot tub is a real hit with our grandchildren. They also installed a play structure for the kids last year. The outdoor fire pit is also a crowd pleaser. Inside the cottage is roomy and has two bedrooms on the main level with large bathroom and separate shower stall in separate room. The games room in the upstairs loft has air hockey and pool table along with tv couch and extra queen bed. Downstairs there is another bedroom and open room with bunk beds. This lower level also has a powder room. There are some quirks but if your not fussy for fancy this is amazing place to spend time with family and children it's a great spot. About 1.5 hours from Ottawa depending on traffic

| Fantastic cottage, excellent value, and the best swimming experience yet. That is the TLDR version.
Dora's cottage comes fully equipped for all your needs. Nearly EVERYTHING was provided that you could imagine. To that end, it's actually easier to list the very few things that we didn't have. Things we brought were Lifejackets, dryer sheets, and clear plastic recybags. That's it. Dora had taken care of everything else for us which was greatly appreciated.
Our food and drinks had plenty of room to fit in the gigantic wall fridge and freezer combo. We ended up leaving all our coolers outside on day 1 and didn't need them again until check out time for a party of 6. The beds are comfortable and there was ample room for everyone to have their own space if needed.
The lake is the cleanest and safest we have experienced so far. This is our 5th time using CottagesInCanada to book a cottage and Dora's lake is head and shoulders above all the others. We spent several hours swimming every single day.
The upstairs bathroom is fully functional with a tub. There is also a separate shower/laundy room down the hall. The downstairs (2nd bathroom) is a powder room but the toilet cannot be used with toilet paper so it saw much less use than upstairs.
Make sure to ask Dora for the driving directions ahead of time. Google ended up directing us down an adventurous rocky trail road instead of the recommended route via Concession 12.
Thanks again Dora for a wonderful stay.

| This cottage has, quite literally, everything you could need. We came in the fall and had the best weekend! The inside is comfy and spacious. Ourdoors was perfect! Loads of places to sit. All sitting areas are close enough that everyone can easily chat together, but also far enough away that noone feels obligated. Proximity to lake is easy. Spiral staircase is sturdy. And the games area upstairs was a hit! We would love to come back. Thank you, Dora!
