REVIEWS | | Mary |  |
| We had a great time at fernglen cottage! beautiful setting, plenty of space, very clean and organized. We had 2 families so there was plenty of room to spread out with 3 buildings. The fishing on Cecebe lake was excellent, caught many big bass. Clean water to swim in, deeper off the dock and a nice shallow sandy area for small children. Everything was clean and in good repair. Lots of sleeping space - would be good with families with kids as many single beds in the lofts.
One small thing is the kitchen area in the main cottage is quite small. all necessary equipment was there and we tend to make food ahead and freeze but if you are feeding a crowd from scratch the prep would have to be split up to the kitchenettes in the smaller buildings. Not really a huge barrier.
Overall, great time. Would definitely recommend.

| Amazing time spent there with multiple families with kids 6-12. Having the different spaces was great for all the families, and to spread out at bedtimes. The hot tub is huge and amazing (and was great for a few polar plunges too!), and the wood stoves kept us cozy through the night. A very special time, and we'd love to go back in the summer!

| We had a wonderful stay at Fernglen. Our three families have been cottaging together for over 25 years and Fernglen provided us with an excellent experience. The facilities were clean and well stocked and Sandra provided a welcome orientation in addition to answering all our questions prior to our arrival. We would definitely recommend!

| Visited this cottage with my family and absolutely loved our stay! Sandra was extremely easy to get in touch with and a great host. We very much enjoyed canoeing and kayaking in the lake and will definitely try and visit again ! Highly recommend to all, especially big groups and for special occasions or even for just a nice little getaway. Everything we needed was provided or specific beforehand that we would need to bring. All insurrections super clear and easy to follow.
