TESTIMONIAL

This was a fantastic cottage! Great space for our large family, well stocked kitchen and fantastic waterfront. We also loved the screened in porch! The owner was great to deal with and very helpful when we left some items behind. All in all a fantastic experience! —Allison (Jul 2023)

 

The location from the GTA, the ability to have dogs, and the quality of the sleeping and bath arrangements made this rental a real find for our large group. But, only being there did we fully appreciate the lovely lake location, wonderful swimming and multiple activities a variety of family could do. Missed having a campfire pit but the screened in porch for our evenings was enjoyable too! -Cathy S. (Aug 2022)
