| Had a great experience in August 2024. We rented the main cabin plus the smaller cabin.
Worked well for big family vacation (8 adults, 4 children, 4 dogs).
Lots of space. Having two kitchens was a bonus. Access to two docks (played off one, parked boat in the other).
There were other cottages renting the other cabin and you couldn't tell. Enough space on lawn that you didn't really notice them.
Great selection of canoes/kayak/paddle boat/ stand up paddle board plus the floating Lilly pad.
We kicked off our vacation with massages for the whole family with Rachel - awesome way to start the vacation. Luke was around if needed but not in your space. You really feel like you're the only ones there!

| Beautiful cottage, quiet area, very clean, outside area was wonderful, The cottage is well equipped with everything. The kitchen has ample dishes, and everything needed for cooking meals.
We all enjoyed the week, paddleboard, kayaking, and just relaxing on the dock! Fishing is good on Lake Cecebe and my husband caught a good size crepe on the dock. We all enjoyed our vacation here.
Luke and Rachel are excellent hosts and made sure we had everything we needed and more. We would recommend this cottage to everybody looking for a fantastic cottage holiday/vacation.

| We spent Thanksgiving weekend at this wonderful retreat. We hosted 17 people in the cottage and cabins. Although the weather was not good, it did not dampen our spirits. The facility is well equiped with watercraft and games. The cottage, likewise is well equiped for preparing meals and has lots of room to accomodate a number of people in one place. Our hosts; Rachel and Luc were so gracious and helpful. If you rent this place, you will not be disappointed.

Only thing was the owner did hang around the property for a majority of our stay which was a little uncomfortable!

| We spent another lovely week at Cecebe Retreat this year. We bring all our family and, 3 grandchildren. We all enjoyed the week, swimming, paddleboard, kayaking, canoeing and just relaxing on the dock! We were lucky enough to be able to have a fire every evening and s'mores were a big hit. Luke and Rachel are excellent hosts and made sure we had everything we needed and more. Fishing is good on Lake Cecebe and my son in law caught a good size fish while out in his boat. The cottage is well equipped with everything. The kitchen has ample dishes, and everything needed for cooking meals. Thanks to Luke and Rachel for allowing us to stay for the second year in a row. Our dogs enjoyed their stay as well! We would recommend this cottage to everybody looking for a fantastic cottage holiday.
