REVIEWS | | Brenda |  |
| We had a wonderful week at this cottage. The inside is modern, cozy, comfortable and very well equipped. We were very grateful for the A/C option as we had very hot days and evenings - great weather for the outdoors, but nice to be cool once inside.
The outdoor setting is picturesque and peaceful. We spent lots of time on the dock, swim pad and paddling.
Tara is a wonderful host. Always quick to answer a question. We were welcomed with a lovely gift basket, which included a treat for our pup and she alerted us to look out on the bay to see a grazing deer, which we wouldn't have seen had she not let us know.
We had a great cottage stay. Highly recommend!!

| What a true gem this cottage is. It has everything that you could possibly want and it is clean and easily accessible. After a hectic year of work, with lots of business travel, I just wanted a quiet place to relax for a week. I'm so happy to have found this cottage as it was absolutely perfect. Swimming, paddle boarding (even my dog loved it), chilling out on the dock watching the beautiful buck that would visit at the tip of the bay every day, or inside on the comfortable furniture looking out the beautiful floor to ceiling windows at the lake - I felt the stress leave with every minute that passed. Tara was amazing to deal with and always available too. If you want complete serenity, book this cottage! We were sad to leave but we will definitely be back. We wanted for nothing during our stay. It was exactly as described.

| We stayed here at the beginning of July and thoroughly enjoyed the privacy, the quiet (both around the cottage and on the lake), the clear water (no weeds), and of course the cottage itself. It is the perfect size for 2-4 adults and has everything you need for a week of fun on the water and some rest and relaxation!!!

| Cottage was exactly as described. Clean and comfortable. Excellent location on a quiet lake.
Owners were very quick to respond to issues that presented during our stay.
Unfortunately roads around the cottage were not in good condition for cycling.
Lots of extra time for canoeing, reading and enjoying the outdoors.
Hope to go back soon!

| Had a great weekend here. Cottage is VERY nice and the location is even better. No kids with us on this trip but the place would be perfect for young ones. Good shallow entry for swimming, no boat traffic and very private. Fishing was good. Everything was as advertised and communication was great. Hope to book again next year.
Scot, Cathy and Wyatt.
