Very cozy cottage
We just stayed here the past weekend and were very impressed again. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable and clean. Beautiful quiet lake to enjoy some water activity and quiet time. The host, Kiki, was excellent with communication and helpful with any questions. I would highly recommend. Thanks Kiki for a great weekend.

Perfect place for vacationing
Beautiful place, area and surroundings. The cottage has everything a family need. Practically you are staying at a fully furnished home. Just bring your own towels and bed sheets and covering, thats all. Gas station/General store is in less than 5 minutes drive away. The cottage sits on the bank of a beautiful small lake. Kids swam and kayaked. A cone comes with the cottage as well. The one and the only one thing we had trouble with was the wifi kept dropping. The communication with the owners was prompt and quick. She made all in her power to help us with the wifi but i guess it wasn't meant for us this time. Overall we had a blast. Definitely this place will be visited again by our family. Thanks

Renter beware
Property was beautiful . cottage was okay but not great. Overpriced . owner was not forthcoming with certain issues. Boats over 10ft can not go in water safely . dock too shallow and private beach was non existent . bbq old and very dirty and only wood burning stove to heat . when concerns brought to owners attention she basically said too bad not my problem . we left 36hrs early because of issues and were not even offered partial refund for the day we had no power or water. Were not told until the night we arrived that there was only wood burning stove to heat . we said we had a boat and it was 18ft and she said ya no problem . needless to say the boat. Could not be docked at our cottage cause it was too shallow . window leaked when it rained as well as the fireplace stack . all issues we brought to owners attention . not recommended

The lake was beautiful. We loved the loons. Although the cottage was adequate, the beds leave much to be desired. A portable air conditioner would have been a great asset as well.

cabin in the woods
This cabin was lovely in many ways. Its best feature is the proximity to the lake, large yard with fire pit, pet friendly, free of bugs (inside:), and plenty of space. The place is not as ideal as we had hoped considering the close proximity to the highway (constant sound of cars driving by), and aspects of the cabin's cleanliness (we found a 3" fish tail on the floor, a week old dead mouse in a trap, and the couch smelled of urine). I don't want to imply that this cabin had no value - it did. We had a lovely time. The host was extremely easy to deal with, friendly, quick to respond to questions, and kind. I would suggest a more thorough cleaning (considering the cleaning fee) and a new couch. Regardless we found the space to be over priced considering what is available in the region - but a cabin on a lake is always a beautiful thing.
