REVIEWS | | Sophie |  |
| Bear Cave Cottage was the perfect fall getaway for my group of friends. We were 6 adults staying in the cottage, which offered everything that we had hoped for. We were most excited to enjoy views of the lake, stargaze by the firepit and do some hiking. The location was perfect, only being 3.5h from Toronto and so close to beautiful hiking spots. The cottage was very comfortable and so well equipped for cooking for large groups. The porch swing chairs with a lake view are an extra nice touch, as was the responsiveness and care from the hosts. For anyone who enjoys running - you can get an amazing workout right from the cottage with intense hills and beautiful views just running along the very quiet road.
While it was a bit late in the year for enjoying lake activities, we still felt like we got the full cottage experience we had wanted. Would highly recommend!

| We rented this beautiful cottage Oct 14th to 18th for my husband's 60th birthday. It has everything you need to cook and entertain. The views of the lake are truly amazing especially with the fall colours and the owners have responded to any of our inquiries within minutes. Hope to rent it again very soon. Thank you!

| Our stay at Bear Cave Cottage on Lake Kennisis was absolutely perfect for our family. The cottage offered so much for the kids to do, keeping everyone entertained throughout our time there. The basement was a big hit, where we enjoyed playing ping pong and pool. Movie nights were another highlight, made even better by the cozy atmosphere.
The kitchen was impressively well-equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, making it easy to settle in and feel right at home. The blend of modern amenities with rustic charm gave the place an authentic cottage feel, which we loved. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring we all had restful nights after our fun days.
One of our favorite parts of the trip was the walk down to the lake. While it's a bit of a trek, the journey feels like a fun adventure, and it's definitely worth it when you reach the water. The dock was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy family time. We had a blast on the water trampoline, and the fishing off the dock was fantastic?lots of fish were caught! The water itself is wonderfully deep with no weeds, making swimming a real pleasure.
Overall, Bear Cave Cottage provided an ideal retreat for our family. We made so many great memories here, and we'd definitely love to come back again.

| In August, my family of five along with our three friends stayed at Little K Bear Cave for a week (4 adults, 4 children). From start to finish our expectations were exceeded. Communication with the hosts throughout our stay was amazing and all our questions were answered quickly and effectively.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome gift which included a smores kit (all four children thoroughly enjoyed), local beers and other treats, which was a very appreciated touch. The cottage itself was very clean, spacious and well stocked with everything needed for cooking, washing, sleeping, etc. There was a cozy and welcoming atmosphere from the second we walked through the door. The views from the cottage, especially from one of the decks or from the upstairs loft bedroom were breathtaking.
There are multiple stairs down to the lake, which we knew about prior to booking, but we looked at it as a chance to get daily exercise and it was well worth it! The hosts provided many different water toys from a water trampoline, kayaks, canoe, pedalboat, etc. We spent every day down by the lake and out on the water. The lake is very clean and beautiful. Little Kennisis lake is the best lake for swimming we have experienced in all our years of cottage renting.
Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing. We highly recommend Little K Bear Cave. You won't be disappointed! We can't wait to book it again for next summer!

| Our stay at Bear Cave cottage was absolutely perfect! The cottage was way bigger than we expected. Plenty of space for all the guests, the three full bathrooms was an added bonus! Our kids loved the bunk beds and fun toys in the basement. Even on the rainy days, there were many activities available to keep everyone busy (home theatre, board games, puzzles and Nintendo!)
We had endless amounts of fun with all the water activities. The lily pad and water trampoline were a hit with both the adults and kids. The adults especially loved the paddle board. We also enjoyed how quiet the lake was during the week, very minimal boat and jet ski activity. Needless to say it was a very relaxing week!
Overall our stay exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to go back in 2025!
