| Fantastic Stay at the McDonald Cottage!
We had an amazing time staying at the McDonald Cottage! The location is absolutely beautiful?nestled on Big Hawk Lake with stunning views right from the deck. The cottage itself was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The private dock was a highlight; we spent hours swimming, kayaking, and just soaking in the sun.
We also loved the fire pit area for evening s'mores and star-gazing. Inside, the cottage was well-equipped with a fully stocked kitchen and comfortable beds.
We'll definitely be back! If you're looking for a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of home, this is the place to be.

| Our family including 6 adults and 3 children under 7 years old had a perfect week at the McDonald Cottage. Every communication with Andrea was clear and prompt. The cottage was spotless, and amenities wonderful. We have been renting cottages in Ontario for many years now, and are so happy that our search for the perfect cottage has ended. Thank You Andrea.

| We had a wonderful time at Andrea's cottage. The cottage was super clean and had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing week with family. The waterfront was excellent with a sandy bottom entry for water sports, with lots of sitting options on the dock or firepit area. Andrea was very responsive to any questions and I would highly recommend renting this property.

| This was our families first time renting this cottage, and I can confidently say it was one of the most enjoyable getaways we had. This charming cottage offers a perfect blend of comfort and nature, making it an ideal spot for the family.
Upon arrival, the stunning lake view took my breath away. The cottage itself is beautifully maintained, with a cozy interior that feels like home. The open-concept living space is perfect for gathering with friends or family, and the large windows allow for plenty of natural light and gorgeous views of the water.
One of the highlights of the stay was the outdoor space. The private deck is equipped with comfortable seating, perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. The fire pit by the lake was a fantastic spot for roasting marshmallows and sharing stories under the stars.
The cottage is well-stocked with amenities, including a fully equipped kitchen, which made meal preparation a breeze. I appreciated the thoughtful touches, including games, water games that had the family entertained all day.
Location-wise, it is conveniently situated near boat rentals and local attractions, making it easy to explore the beautiful surroundings. The hosts were also incredibly welcoming and provided great recommendations for activities in the area.
Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape or an adventure-filled time, this is the spot.
