REVIEWS | | May |  |
| We had a wonderful week at The Blue Spruce cottage. The place was very clean, organized and well equipped, and a lot of space for our multigenerational family to hang out.
We spent a lot of time on the docks, and the hot tub was great after swimming in the lake.
The welcome gift basket was a nice touch, and we also had some good uses of the pass to the provincial park.
We did hear some traffic noise from the highway outside, but very quiet inside the cottage.
Shezana was a great host, very friendly and quick to response with all our questions.
We did have some trouble finding the cottage, the instructions in the guidebook might need some updating ( we didn't really see the pink ribbon on the driveway and it was a bit confusing that a few of the houses all share the same address!) We did eventually found the place after a few tries. Overall, it was a great cottage, and a memorable vacation for our family!

| We had a multi-family vacation at the Blue Spruce Cottage, which worked beautifully for multiple families to come together. The owners answered questions promptly when needed. Everything was as expected. The water entry was amazing, either a walk-in or jump in off the dock. The dock was a great size for multiple fishermen or for lounging on the chairs. There was a rough boat access where we were able to hand launch our small boat (this is too small for a vehicle launch but there is a marina about 5 minutes away if needed). The lake was great for swimming, kayaking and fishing. We caught lots of bass and the kids had a blast with rarely a dull moment. The lake was very quiet mid-week with noticeably more traffic on the weekend, but not excessive. We enjoyed our time at this cottage and would recommend staying here.

| Our multigenerational family of 10 enjoyed a week in this beautiful cottage on a beautiful lake. Lots of paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, swimming & excellent fishing off the dock. Ample space for everyone. The large dining table was perfect. Exploring Bancroft area led us to parks, beaches, restaurants, candy store & Kawartha Dairy ice cream. I can't say enough positive about our co-host Shezana. She was very attentive & quick to respond. Our family had a few unique requests & Shezana delivered.
Tip: It was a little tricky to find the driveway as there are a few cottages that share the same address. What worked for us was, it is DIRECTLY right after the blue County of Haliburton sign when travelling south on Hwy 28.

| Our 10 person family thoroughly enjoyed a weeks stay at The Blue Spruce this July, we thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations, the hot tub, the deck and the well appointed kitchen. The kids enjoyed movie nights and fishing off the dock with several fish caught over the week. We we're concerned at first about road noise given that the cottage is located on busy Highway 28, but it wasn't an issue. We. thought the cottage was very high end and well equipped with everything we needed. A couple of minor things arose early and the owner was quick to rectify the situation. We wanted to book again Next Summer, but it's fully booked and we can understand why. All in all a great week that will go down in our memories with our thanks to Shezana and Jason!

| The cottage is gorgeous with the beautiful lake access and view!! The beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable, we all slept so well. Our hosts were very helpful and responsive to any questions that we had prior to our stay and during our stay! The attention to detail to make your stay unique does not go unnoticed and really adds to your experience making it feel that much more special!
The free park pass was lovely and allowed us to get out and moving! I would highly recommend this cottage and will most definitely be renting in the future again!
