| Amazing cottage experience! Newly built brand new cottage that was very spacious for our group of 10 plus 1 dog. Vanessa was extremely accommodating allowing both early and late check-out. The cottage was clean and had everything we could possibly need. The outdoor hot tub and sauna were the highlight of our trip. And having the foosball and air hockey table was a plus. We were even able to go tobogganing on a big hill nearby with the provided toboggans that was so much fun. Not to mention the welcome gift of drinks when we arrived was such a pleasant surprise and greatly appreciated! Highly recommend!

| This is so far the best cottage experience I have ever had. The host was spectacular and very accommodating. I only have positive things to say about the host and the cottage. The cottage itself was absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking! We loved the tub and the sauna especially during winter. Would definitely come back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for letting us stay in this lovely cottage!

| This is one the best cottages ever. My sister booked this for our family as a surprise trip for Thanksgiving weekend and this was my personal and everyone's happy place. The owner was amazing host and she got back to us quick with no issues. The location is amazing you can't ask for anything better. They had a hot tub sauna bon fire pit BBQ a dock kayaks boats like seriously they thought of everything. The heated floor in the bathrooms was a nice touch. We are already planning 2023 trip up here as its my favorite spot to goto. Thank you Venssa for your hospitality and even being so kind as to saying you guys don't have to rush out on check out which was amazing as I grabbed one more steak to make on the BBQ. There is a nice little grocery store close by maybe 7 mins driving. Seriously stay here these are the kind of people you want to rent from. Just be respectful of the area no loud noises and please for the love of.god don't be a slob clean up after yourself. BTW one last thing. They are dog friendly. Coco LOVED!!!!! it here thanks again guys can't wait to be back.

| We had the best week here. The cottage is amazing, and the hosts are great. We had 5 adults and 2 kids, plus a dog. Plenty of space for everyone, lots to do. The river maybe wasn't the best for swimming, but we were on the water all week with the kayaks and paddle board, then back up to the cottage for a dip in the hot tub. The location is perfect, tonnes to do around, lots of activities and great places to eat/drink. We would (and probably will) stay here again!
