| Beautiful cottage with a great layout. The 4 teens with us loved the SUP's, kayak, and pedal boat! The kitchen had everything necessary to make great meals and having a washer/dryer was a bonus. Loved having the hot tub and sauna. Vanesssa and Blair were super easy to deal with and always responded to questions quickly. We even left a wallet behind and they very kindly dropped it off at our home. Thank you both so much :)

| What a lovely cottage that had everything you possibly need. Very clean, modern with great space to fit 8 adults and 5 small children with our dogs. When we arrived there was a bottle of wine and Kelly even let us use their fishing boat with motor as we couldn't rent one nearby. The hot tub was heaven. The river was surprising great for the kids to swim in. There's plenty to do with paddle boat, paddle boards, kayaks even for the kids. A bit of a walk to the river from the cottage but not bad. The little picnic table on the dock was a nice touch for lunches. Plenty of seating at the cottage and dock. Only wish there was a bit more lights outside, but we brought our flashlights. Kelly was wonderful, answers your questions and goes out of her way to find us info. We recommend this place, the kids really enjoyed the air hockey too!

| As a group of 8 ladies who have been renting cottages for 21 years, we found this cottage to be probably the best we have stayed at. It has ample space for all of us, and was very comfortable. This place had everything you could possibly need for an awesome stay. We would definitely recommend staying here. The owners were very accommodating and very friendly. An excellent staycation!!

| 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!
