| We had an amazing stay at the cottage with our doggo! The space is extremely clean, and everything felt like it was brand new. It was also really well stocked with everything we needed, we were pleasantly surprised to find a Nespresso machine, sodastream, and air fryer. The property itself is very spacious and private, we didn't hear or see any neighbours, which our dog loved since she didn't feel the need to play protector at all. There were lots of indoor and outdoor games as well as water toys provided. The lake was warm enough for swimming (early September), quiet and peaceful and large enough that we spent lots of time exploring by kayak. There's a great spot for launching the water toys as well as a dock to hang out on. We also really appreciated the screened-in porch, which was perfect for enjoying the view! We used the included Bon Echo pass to visit the park one of the days and had a really fun time walking some of the trails and letting our dog play at the dog beach. Best of all, Lindsay was very responsive and accommodating throughout our stay and really went above and beyond for us. Everything was exactly as described if not better! All of us had a great time and would definitely come back!

| We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this marvelous cottage. The grounds are gorgeous and extremely private - you don't see a neighbour through the woods on either side. The lake is quiet, with a good access point for the kayaks and SUPs, and then a small dock on the opposite side. The cottage is very clean, and outfitted with all the amenities and features we needed. Most of the appliances and accessories felt brand new, and all worked perfectly for us. We loved the screened veranda area; great spot to sit for morning coffee, and playing games at the table at night. The host was very responsive, and had everything perfectly prepared and set for us when we arrived.
I definitely recommend this cottage, especially for a family looking for a quiet, high quality spot.

| We stayed at this beautiful cottage for a week in July and had an amazing time! First thing we noticed walking in was how bright and clean it was, and everything felt brand new, from the wood panelled walls in the bedrooms to the utensils in the kitchen - it felt like we were the first people to stay there. We loved the gazebo - it was perfect for playing boardgames, lounging and we had many meals out there as well. The lake is gorgeous, water was clear, clean and perfect temperature to be refreshing but not feel cold. The adults loved the floating seats provided - we had brought some of our own floats for the kids so it was great to be able to hang out in the water with them while tbey played around. We took full advantage of the provifed kayaks and SUP boards and paddled almost everyday, watching the loons, and exploring all around the lake. We brought our own canoe to go fishing in, but also caught fish right off the dock. We enjoyed fires and s'mores every night, saw lightning bugs and listened to the loons calling. We used the day pass to visit nearby Bon Echo and if we stayed here again I would definitely plan to take more advantage of that! We were a group of 7, with 3 generations, (70s, 40s, kids 10-15yrs) and we all had a wonderful time. Lindsay was an excellent and responsive host and everything was as described. I would highly recommend this cottage!

| Beautiful cottage and property. The cottage was clean, well maintained and well stocked with everything we needed and more. The location is very private, we couldn't see any cottages next to us. Huge windows allow you to look out onto the lake from inside the main room and master bedroom. A gas fireplace was easy to use for chilly nights. The kitchen had all the tools you could need and more. The porch was huge, and inviting - a great place to relax. Our kids loved the big, queen beds. We had a wonderful time and hope to return someday.

| Fantastic Stay – Everything We Hoped For!
We had an absolutely wonderful time at this cottage! It truly met all our needs and more. Lindsay was a thoughtful and attentive host, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The cottage itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and well-equipped—with very comfortable beds, high-quality linens, and soft towels.
There were plenty of cozy spots to relax both inside and out, and the view of the lake from the cottage was simply stunning. The lake itself is peaceful and serene, perfect for a quiet getaway. We especially loved the variety of activities available—there were lots of games for both indoors and outdoors, plus kayaks and paddleboards for exploring the water.
Highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay!
