REVIEWS | | Hardik |  |
| We stayed at Amber's home with 12 people, and everyone had a very comfortable bed to sleep in. The four full bathrooms were also a great benefit for our group.
We loved the big, modern kitchen, the 8-person dining table, and the very comfortable family room. We enjoyed spending time in the backyard and having campfires. The large waterfront deck overlooking the lake was beautiful and a great place to relax.
We also really enjoyed the water activities, especially using the kayaks and paddle boards at the lakefront. The area was very nice, peaceful, and quiet.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed our time at Amber's home!
Stayed: August 2026

| We stayed in Amber's home with 11 people for a week long visit. Everyone had a very comfortable bed to sleep in. We were also able to use the one bedroom bunky which was very handy for us. The large shower in the basement was much appreciated. We loved the big, modern kitchen, the large dining room table and very comfy family room and large screen TV. We very much enjoyed the backyard and played many lawn games over our stay. We loved the big waterfront deck near the lake and appreciated the comfy outdoor furniture. We made extensive use of the kayaks and paddle boards at the lake front. The water was warm and we enjoyed many swims.
Amber was also a gracious and very accommodating host. She promptly answered any questions we had before and during our trip. Thanks very much, Amber!

| Wonderful stay!!! Highly recommend!!!
Myself and some family and friends consisting of 12 ppl stayed at this cottage for one week in late July. From the first email, Amber (the owner) was so great to work with. We had not rented on the French prior and we had 5 children in our group so I had so many questions leading up to our stay. Amber was very gracious and patient, answering them all with great detail. She went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great. She even sent a things to bring list and recommendations for trails and places to eat in the area. I have been renting cottages my entire life and have not ever had this level of service from an owner.
The cottage, grounds and beachfront are so beautiful! The cottage is decorated with such intention and care, just beautiful! There is a lot of grass area for playing games, two fire pits both with lovely sitting areas. The brand new deck overlooking the water is exceptional, perfect view of the gorgeous sunset. There is a lot of outdoor seating. The water was perfect! The river is fairly quiet. To be honest I can't believe more people don't take advantage of this body or water. If you are lucky enough to stay here please respect this little slice of paradise and treat is as your own. We were all sad to leave but hope to be back!
