My group and I had a great time in October. The cottage was very spacious, and I was immediately struck by the beautiful view from the large downstairs kitchen window overlooking the lake upon entering.

Since it rained for 3 of the days we were there, we made very good use of the activities available indoors. The foosball, pool table and arcade game were a huge hit with us all, and we spent hours down there every day. The rest of the time we were able to enjoy the extensive DVD collection upstairs as well as play the board games provided in the evening downstairs on the large kitchen table.

On the last day, with better weather, we took one of the canoes out for a paddle. The area was beautiful to explore, and I highly suggest taking advantage of the watercraft provided to see it. We were also able to enjoy the "axe throwing", zipline and the large firepit with plenty of seating. Don't forget to try lounging on the comfy beanbags provided on the Zen Deck while you enjoy a beverage; it was such a beautiful view and a very memorable moment for my husband and I.

Overall, our entire group agreed Serendipity Lodge would be well worth another visit in the future. The location is secluded and private, while also being a short drive from all the shops you'd need.

The hosts were also very gracious and explained everything well. Thank you, Natasha and George for a wonderful weekend!

Hi Larissa, thank you for your very detailed review. It's a shame you had rain that weekend but we're so glad you had lots of fun indoors and still managed to get out for a paddle and drinks on the Zen deck. All the more reason for you to come back again!
See you next time!
Natasha & George

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the idyllic surroundings and the charm of the cottage itself. It's the perfect blend of rustic and modern, making for an extremely comfortable stay.

The cottage was sparkling clean, and it's evident that a lot of thought has gone into ensuring that guests have everything they need. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were comfy, and the living space was cozy ? it really felt like a home away from home.

What sets this place apart is not just the accommodations but also the natural beauty that surrounds it. Whether it was a morning coffee by the lake or a late-night bonfire under the stars, every moment was special.

A word of advice for future visitors - don't forget to pack some mosquito repellent; nature is bountiful here, and that includes a few mosquitos. :)

The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, which just added to the ease and enjoyment of our stay.

We can't thank the owners enough for sharing this gem with us. This is a place where memories are made, and we can't wait to make more on our next visit! 5 stars all the way!

Thanks for your review Vanita - we would be very happy to host you again!

We had a wonderful experience at Serendipity Lodge. Natasha and George were great hosts. The cottage is so cozy with so many areas to relax and have fun - from the airy screened-in room, to the ?Starbucks? chairs overlooking the beautiful lake, a snooker table and even a vintage PacMan Arcade game! The kids had so much fun swimming, canoeing and fishing! We would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get closer to nature and enjoy quality time with family & friends.

So happy to hear that you had a wonderful stay at Serendipity Lodge - we'd love to have you come visit us again and that includes Lenny the dog too!

Our group book Serendipity Lodge for a Girls' Get Away May 2022. Immediately upon entering we are completely charmed by the cottage. It was the perfect blend of cozy comfort for our group. We loved discovering the little personal touches they left for us. The views from the cottage were lovely. The cottage itself is well appointed with plenty options in the kitchen and ample dishes and glassware. The beds were cozy and comfortable. Activity wise the cottage has something for everyone one of all ages. We appreciated the use of the complimentary park pass for our foray into Algonquin Park and the abundant watercraft available for our use on Lake St. Peter. Many of use got to experience paddle boarding for the first time and had a blast. We enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks and on the zen deck as well. The fire pit has ample comfortable seating for a large group. The hosts were accessible and responsive to our inquiries during our stay. Our group would not hesitate to return.
