| A wonderful getaway from it all! This cottage has it all. The dock is in excellent condition on a beautiful peaceful lake. Beds are comfortable and the air conditioning on the lower level is a great option in warmer weather. Two bathrooms and 4 bedrooms are extremely convenient. The cottage itself has a great rustic yet up-to-date atmosphere. 10 minute drive from a great grocery store with everything you could need. The Starlink internet is a huge benefit when on a lake so far north on a rainy day. Made great use of the canoe and kayaks multiple times. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful vacation!

| My husband and I rented Ian's cottage along with my daughter, son in law and their 2 year old for the first week of February. The cottage was clean and spacious with a beautiful view of the lake. We had a great week doing winter activities such hiking, snowshoeing, skating and snowboarding, either at the cottage or just short drive away. When we were packing up, we were already planning our next trip back!

| We had a wonderful 4 night stay over Thanksgiving and the fall colours were gorgeous! What a great place for a family holiday. The cottage was very clean with everything we needed. The large dining table fit our family perfectly. My kids and grandkids enjoyed getting out on the water in the kayaks and canoe. My grandsons had a lot of fun playing in the shallow water & sand beach as well as fishing from the dock. Ian was the perfect host, being very informative and made our transaction go very smoothly. If you are considering booking this cottage, you can do so with confidence.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful cottage with us Ian!

| Our family has rented many different cottages over the years, but this is the only cottage we have returned to as repeat renters!
We rented for one week in both summer 2020 and summer 2021. It was a pleasure renting from Ian as he was incredibly friendly, helpful and available to answer any questions we had along the way.
Our family of 4 included our 2 children, ages 5 and 9 and we thoroughly enjoyed both getaways to this cottage. Amazing fishing, lovely dock, plenty of outdoor seating, cozy firepit area, quiet lake, shallow entry water which was great for our young swimmers and a perfect sandy shore for building sandcastles. The cottage has everything you need and grocery stores are a 20 min drive away.
This cottage came with 2 kayaks, a canoe and a paddleboard all of which were in great condition and we enjoyed daily.
Highly recommend this beautiful cottage!!
