| Our extended family spent a very relaxing week at Laura's cottage. The cottage itself was wonderful with great views from the deck and lots of room to spread out. It was nice to have the basics included and I really can't think of anything of importance that was missing. Kennisis Lake was quite peaceful during our stay which was great. Lots of barbecuing and lots of fun. Great cottage and great location. I would not hesitate recommend this cottage.
Thanks to Laura who was a very attentive host and always replied promptly to our questions or requests.

| Our family of four had a wonderful 3 weeks at Laura's lake Kennisis cottage. The cottage is beautiful & spacious inside and out with amazing views of the water.
Laura has thought of everything down to the smallest detail. The cottage was spotless on arrival and well equipped. Instructions were provided in a booklet with any possible questions one might have, including suggestions to closest amenities, BBQ, instructions, garbage disposal etc.
The lower level was a great space for our 2 daughters aged 21 & 18 to hang out, with several cozy spots to chat or read, and a great hammock on the lower level deck. The office space was also an added bonus. We enjoyed many evenings at the fire pit - wood was provided.
We would not hesitate to visit again and would recommend to family & friends. It's a beautiful spot, with a great waterfront for swimming, paddle boarding, canoeing or kayaking - all of which were provided.
Thank you Laura you were a terrific host!

| Our family of 4 rented Laura's cottage in July. What an amazing experience to say the very least! The cottage is as advertised - full of fantastic spaces/rooms, spectacular views, spacious, meticulously clean, and well-equipped for anything and everything you'll need for a week or weekend at the lake.
The cottage, both inside and out, is very well maintained. The kitchen is stocked with everything you'll need to make delicious meals. I made use of the office in the early morning hours while my wife and kids were still sleeping. We enjoyed lounging in the many different spots both inside and out. The lower and upper decks are amazing for relaxing throughout the day. We were lucky that the fire ban was lifted just days before our arrival so we got to make use of the beautiful fire pit for s'mores. We hung out at the dock every day and were in the water constantly. The water at Little K is beautiful and the depth off the dock is perfect for anyone who wants to dive and cannon ball all day long.
Laura is a fabulous host who clearly pays attention to every single possible detail! Her communication throughout was 10/10. She was always available whenever we had a question both before and during our stay. She provides all of the information you'll need before arrival in order to plan a tremendous holiday. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone considering it.

| What an amazing week for our family of four (kids 11 and 13)! The cottage was absolutely beautiful, spacious, and very well appointed in each and every room. We enjoyed everything both indoors and out! The kitchen had everything you needed and then some, the dock was loaded with kayaks, paddleboards, canoe... The entire property was meticulously clean and well cared for. What more could you ask for!
Thanks Laura for being such a great host - super responsive and helpful, from the booking right through to the stay! Truly amazing!
