| We had the most amazing weekend at this beautiful cottage! From the moment we arrived, everything was spotless, cozy, and incredibly welcoming. The interior is tastefully decorated with a warm, rustic charm while still offering all the modern amenities you could need.
The location is perfect — peaceful, surrounded by nature, and on the lake. We enjoyed mornings on the deck with coffee, evenings by the fire pit, and stargazing at night. The hosts were fantastic — super responsive, thoughtful, and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We can't wait to come back!

| We had a marvelous time at Nature's Way. Not only is it located in an idyllic setting, with beautiful views, but the cabin itself is also handsomely appointed and a perfect retreat spot for a couple. We had a great time cooking and dining on the deck, paddling around the lake and enjoying the natural beauty of the place, while having all the required comforts inside the cabin.
Brad and Kelly are also excellent hosts, very attentive and super nice. We want to thank them both!
We definitely recommend booking a stay with them!

| We had a fantastic time staying at Nature's Way. Having Salmon Trout Lake within steps from the house was an added bonus as we were able to go fishing, use the canoe or pedal boat without the worry of renting from an outside source. Brad and Kelly were excellent from the time they were contacted regarding information about their fabulous house. We look forward to coming back up.

| We spent a wonderful week here. The cottage is well laid out and very well kept. It was nice not having to bring linens, towels etc, since they are included. It's a beautiful lakefront property. The dock is a perfect place to sit and relax, jump in the lake for a dip and where we successfully fished. The owners were very gracious, and were responded quickly to a couple questions we had during our stay. Thank you Kelly and Brad for renting us your cottage.
