Staying in the cottage was fun

The cottage is very nice but unorganized. No towels in the bathroom. we had to search every closets to find them. We ended up finding them piled up in the dryer. We never found the booklet with the check out instructions.

Annual Gil’s getaway

We had a great time. Kitchen well stocked. Not as clean as we expected based on reviews we had read. Single beds weren’t made. We weren’t able to watch TV until a technician showed up. Wifi was very weak.

Family reunion no stress

We had booked this place last yr and loved it- but this yr booked again to include older relatives - aunt and uncle from england- who wanted a true cdn cottage experience! They loved it all. We were: 4 adults 2 seniors (fit but early 70s) and our 2 teens (16-18) . The canoe and paddle at cottage work great- as a bonus canoe is light to lift. We brought our kayaks and tied up our 18.5 ft boat for the week. The place was clean and kitchen fully loaded with anything you need (we brought hand soap) . Very memorable and terrific stay !
