| This was a great experience! The cottage was well maintained, brightly lit, and very clean. A short drive to great coffee and food if you'd like. Location is wonderful. Highly recommend!

| Our family stayed at Dorothy's place this past weekend and we had an excellent and very relaxing time. Dorothy is a wonderful host who made a special trip to bring water toys for the girls. She is very flexible and easy going. We would highly recommend this cottage as it was recently renovated, it is super clean, well stocked in all necessities and steps away from the lake. Thanks so much for everything Dorothy!

| Dorothy was a fantastic host! She was very quick to reply to all my messages and was enjoyable to deal with. The cottage was SO spacious & clean- even better in person than pictures. The hot tub was a nice touch for the very cold Feb nights. Has great access to the lake, which will be amazing during the summer months. I would recommend this spot to friends & family, and would definitely come back for another vacation during the summer.

| This is our 2nd time at this cottage so you know what that means...we totally loved it. Had an amazing time here with the family. We went trail skating and snowmobiling. So much to do in the winter. It's another weekend down in the books. Also, Dorothy is awesome. She is such a great person to deal with. If anyone wants to rent a cottage, this is it. We will definitely be back again. I recommend it to every family who is looking for a weekend or a week away from the city. Thank you Dorothy!!!
