REVIEWS | | Maggie |  |
| Had a delightful stay at this beautiful property with a group of girlfriends over a weekend! We had crummy weather so we REALLY explored the inside of the cottage and it was so cozy and had lots of perfect spaces to hang out, eat, socialize and do some crafts and bonding. Plenty of board games available and smart TV to sign into your own streaming services on and watch a movie. Beds were all comfortable, pull out couches were average pull out couches (ended up pushing 2 couches together and putting sheets on them as if it were a bed and it was super comfy!). Owner was very accommodating and we will likely return next year. Perfect place for a getaway with family or friends!

| This is the second year my family has stayed at Kaszuby Cottage and we absolutely love it! The property and cottage are both gorgeous and very well maintained. The lake is clear and calm with easy access from the shore and off the dock. There are plenty of boats and water toys for all ages to get out and have hours of fun on the lake. The cottage is spacious with lots of room to make and enjoy big family meals, relax and hang out together. We've already booked our next family trip to the cottage for 2025!

| Our family has stayed at many cottages over the years and this one is our favorite. The cottage itself is beautiful and very well equipped with everything you need. It was very spacious and very clean.The property and location are absolutely stunning. Excellent view's to wake up to every morning with a coffee. The lake is a good size so we brought our fishing boat which you can tie right to the dock. Our children Caught a good amount of fish right off of the dock alone. Joanne is a pleasure to deal with and is very accommodating. We are already looking forward to staying again next year. Thank you Joanne for all of your help and for the perfect holiday!

Owner response: Shane, thank you so much! So happy to read that your family loves the cottage as much as we do. Looking forward to having you back in 2025! | |

| We had 4 families stay at the cottage, a total of 10 people. Every single one of us absolutely loved our stay!
The cottage itself is clean and very spacious. I've never been to a cottage that is so well stocked with everything you could possibly need! The screened in porch was a bonus and such a wonderful space to enjoy all our meals!
The waterfront is beautiful! The cottage has a big dock, every water toy you could think of, canoe, kayaks, paddle board, and plenty of space for everyone to lay out and relax:) We also enjoyed friendly cornhole competitions and cooled off in the lake afterwards!
Barry's Bay isn't far away either if you need anything or just want to explore.
Joanne was so easy to communicate with. She was quick to respond and answered all of our questions!
We all can't wait to comeback!!

| We had a fantastic stay at Joanne's cottage for a week with two families totaling 10 people. As seasoned cottage renters, we can confidently say that Joanne's cottage is truly amazing. The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked, providing everything we needed and more. We especially appreciated the abundance of ziploc reusable containers and clips for bags, making storing leftovers a breeze.
The layout of the cottage is well thought out, with reliable Wi-Fi that allowed some of our group to work remotely. The waterfront is stunning, with a clean lake and plenty of water toys for entertainment. We were pleased to find minimal weeds in the water, if that is a concern for you. Joanne's recommendation for sourcing firewood was great, as we were able to enjoy bonfires and s'mores with just one box of wood lasting two nights.
Exploring the area was a highlight of our stay, and we highly recommend following Joanne's tips for dining and activities. The comfortable beds and two full bathrooms were a plus for our two families. The giant table in the sunroom was a favorite gathering spot for meals and board games.
Joanne was responsive and quick to reply to any messages, making our stay even more enjoyable. We have no doubt that we will return to this wonderful cottage with our entire group in the future. Thank you, Joanne, for a memorable vacation experience!

I'd be happy to host you and your family again anytime! | |
