This cottage lives up to its description and pictures and Lisa was very accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay.

Thanks John, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay and thank you for leaving the cottage very tidy!

With its bespoken design Sleepy Pines Cabin is the perfect peaceful place to land. Kick off your shoes and enjoy the breeze, the quiet silky waters of Black Lake, western sunsets, and endless star filled skies. We enjoyed yoga on the dock, evening paddles, swimming, swimming, swimming forested hikes and bouncing up and down the hillside walkways. Dug into some of the bird and star guides available in the cottage. Every last detail is thoughtful. Highly recommended for a recharge getaway.

Thanks Charlene! We really appreciated that you enjoyed it so much, and took advantage of the fun stuff on offer!

We enjoyed a relaxing week at Sleepy Pines as first time guests. We found the cottage clean and comfortable. The terrain around the cottage is well described, not for anyone with any mobility issues. Beautiful lakefront view from the tree house like setting, lakefront swimming down at the dock was perfect in the mid September afternoon sun. We were very fortunate with the weather during our stay, had the canoe out one afternoon. Great communication with our hosts for any questions that came up during our stay

Much appreciated David, it was a pleasure dealing with you and so happy you enjoyed our property!

This cottage was a joy to stay in. It feels brand new inside with lots of wood, great light, a tidy, tasteful kitchen, and excellent use of space. Perched on a cliff overlooking the lake and tucked in behind a smattering of red pines, it provides great west-facing views, lots of privacy and almost feels like you're in a treehouse. The walk down to the dock is pretty steep so this might not be the place for you if you have mobility issues or young children but the boats are in great shape and there's lots to explore around the lake. The owners provide lots of helpful details and clearly keep the place in great shape; the cottage games and puzzles were a nice touch, too. We would definitely rent this again.

Thanks Fraser, we are so pleased you were able to enjoy the place!

What a beautiful spot! Felt very private and secluded. The cottage is well appointed with everything we needed for the weekend and was immaculately clean to boot. Bed was very comfy. It was easy to relax. An occasional boat and the loons were the only sounds to be heard. As remote as it feels we were a short drive to some yummy restaurants, bakery and farmers market. The lake is lovely and having access to kayaks and a canoe was such a plus. We will definitely be back!
