The cottage was wonderful and well stocked with fun activities (kayaks, paddle boards, corn hole) and spaces to relax (the dock, the deck, the fire pit, the hot tub). We loved the layout of the land and cabin. I came with three generations and everyone enjoyed themselves. For us, the location could not have been better with proximity to a grocery store (for forgotten items) and its close distance to Toronto. The river was peaceful during the days and magical at sunrise and sunset. We hope to return one day. Thank you so much Nicole!

Everything was smooth and the house looked fantastic.Only one thing would be no instructions for the hot tub and the label for the buttons was missing so it took some time to figure out and get hot.Besides that I highly recommend it

Nicole was a great host. From the time of booking upto our departure, her responses were always timely.Provided great suggestions for tobogganing with the kiddos and they loved it!From the moment we entered the cottage, we felt very welcomed with the extra little details left by the host. We already recommended this beautiful oasis to our friends and family. We look forward to dealing with Nicole again in the future.

We stayed at Bonnie Lodge for 2 nights to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and it was exactly what we were hoping for. The cottage was incredibly peaceful, cozy, and romantic, the perfect little getaway.Everything was very clean, well stocked, and thoughtfully put together. We especially loved relaxing in the hot tub and enjoying the beautiful river view and landscaping around the property. You can tell a lot of care goes into making guests feel comfortable.The host communication was excellent from start to finish, and the welcome letter and small gift were such a thoughtful touch that made our anniversary stay feel extra special.The location was also great! It was close enough to check out local restaurants and pubs, and convenient for a rainy-day trip to the casino as well.Overall, we had an amazing stay and would absolutely recommend Bonnie Lodge to anyone looking for a peaceful and romantic getaway.
