We had a really great long weekend stay at the Pinecone Gamezone. We spent most of the time down on the dock enjoying the water and watersports/games provided on the property. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was clean on our arrival. So many games to play, you'll have to book several week vacation to play them all. Our 2 year old really enjoyed the train set, and there was a nice shallow sandy spot for him to play in down in the water. It's a bit of a steep (but very short) path down to the water, so keep an eye on kids. But otherwise a great family friendly spot. Thanks Matt!

About the host

Hosted by Matt Dunn

Host profile image
Our family lives in Ottawa, Canada, and we've enjoyed this beautiful property for 4 generations. We are new to listing on VRBO and we want to share the good memories to be had at our little retreat from regular living.

Why they chose this property

Black lake was selected as the ideal lake for us, not only for its natural beauty, clean waters, and abundant wildlife, but also for the short distance to two of our favourite Ontario towns: Perth and Westport.

What makes this property unique

We love to game because it brings people together and strengthens the bonds between family and friends. After many years of collecting board and card games, and bringing them to the table, we want to enable these experiences for our guests so they can also enjoy our library with their family and friends, in a serene and comfortable environment. Of course, in case gaming is not your jamb, we've also gone to lengths to make all of our guests feel at home with all the amenities that would make their stay fun, relaxing and memorable.
