REVIEWS | | Sarah |  |
| Our stay was great! We were 3 couples (my parents, my sister and her partner and then myself and my partner) and 2 dogs.
Tons of pros: lots of space for us with rooms to spare, kitchen was very clean and had all the items you might need to cook with (utensils and small appliances etc), we loved the extra fridge in the laundry room and the space in the pantry, the water was great for swimming and the dock was awesome to relax on. The back deck off the cottage was so nice for morning coffee. The owner was very kind and responsive.
Cons: The horse flies and deer flies were not great, obviously not in the owners control. The upstairs (bedrooms) was warm in comparison to the main floor but fans were supplied and we had those going the whole time.
Overall we loved our stay, and would absolutely stay here again!

| Our group (3 families with kids) had a great time at the Sands!
The cottage itself was very clean and spacious. Rooms were comfortable, although would get warm overnight after the hottest days (even with AC running). But the provided fans did help with that! The kitchen had most everything we needed for cooking, and came with a few basic spices. Bonus was the extra fridge/freezer in the laundry room!
The backyard was beautiful and level, which was great for our kids to play outside. Even better for them was the shallow sandy entry to the lake. They could play and we could watch without worrying about how deep the water was.
We visited the public beach a few times as well, and enjoyed it every time! Fishing wasn't great off the dock, but we went further out into the water a few times and managed to get some catches!
Overall, we had a lovely stay!

| Everything about our stay at The Sands was amazing. Communication with Diana was always prompt and friendly, the cottage itself is stunning and housed my family perfectly. We had a wonderful stay, loved being right on the water. The cottage was clean, spacious, and well-equipped. I was especially touched to find Diana had gone out of her way to leave balloons for my son's 3rd birthday when we arrived. Would highly recommend this rental!

| Our large family had a wonderful time at The Sands cottage! The cottage was inviting spacious and clean! The property was well maintained with lots of room for outdoor games such as corn hole and ring toss!! The waterfront and beach 5 mins away makes this location a win, win for young children and parents! We hope to return to Sands Cottage next summer!

| We loved our stay at The Sands. The cottage is beautiful, clean, and relaxing with all the needed amenities needed. Diana was an incredible host and available to answer all our questions. The lake is very quiet and we're very happy to have had the opportunity to use the kayaks that were available on the property.
