| A beautiful & perfectly situated cottage & bunkies on Anstruther Lake. Whether you are on the dock enjoying the serene views, loons, ducks and of course the heron, kayaking & swimming off the sandy beach or walking in the adjacent trails, there is something for everyone to do. All amenities included, plus many extras. Bring your food and mindset to relax and enjoy.

| Highly recommend!
We had a great week, along with other friends, 3 adults, 5 kids, and dogs for the week and it was fantastic. The beach is incredible, water, fishing, swimming, boating....we all stayed busy the entire time, just passed to quickly. Bunkies are so cute, we enjoyed the evening fires, morning sunrises from the large dock, trails and even got to see the famous heron. Great accommodations, beautiful scenery, loads of activities, and the host was wonderful, friendly, quickly replying, even proactively reaching out. It was unanimous, everyone, dogs included, would love to go back.
Thank you Kaylyn!

| Great cottage. Out of all the cottages we gave been to or rented in our adult lives, this had the best beach, especially for kids. Perfectly sandy, warm water and a great view.
Nancy was a delight to deal with.
The cottage comes with just about everything you would need, even things you don't think you would, and man is it quiet.
100% worth the cost for the week.

| This is a beautiful cottage. Equipped with everything you need. Our grandkids loved the beautiful sandy beach. The kayaks and paddle boat were enjoyed by all. This is a wonderful quiet spot with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Highly recommend.

| This was our fifth time going back to Heron Go by and we love building memories with family and friends. I enjoy grabbing my kayak and going out for a nice paddle or just swimming on the lake which was very nice soft beach. The walking trails for long hikes with my dogs made for a great way to explore around the lakes. Campfires and our own cozy cabins to sleep soundly away from the other guests make for some privacy. I love setting my easel and watercolours for some Plein air painting. The new touches this year really made a difference bug hats and new linens, projector and newer TV fir rainy days. Love this place so much it feels like a true escape to the forest.
