| Kat's cottage is beautiful and very clean. Location made it easy to grab groceries and snacks, the lake was fantastic and I got to try canoeing for the first time! I was pleasantly thrilled the internet was great (we seem to always have issues with other cottages even connecting to the internet in the first place), and the weather was absolutely perfect. Kat was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Will definitely will rent again!

| My stay and experience was excellent. The owner was very responsive, friendly, and welcoming.
The space was very clean and comfortable making me to want to come back for another visit. The best part, is that it's an easy drive from Toronto. And the views are stunning.
Thank you again for the wonderful hospitality!
