Babymoon in Cottage Country

Great property for a wonderful getaway in cottage country. Loved the lake and had a great time canoeing around in the afternoon. Excellent proximity to hiking trails, provincial parks and other cute towns for day trips, with a local grocery and general store with everything you would need. Highly recommend for a weekend/week on the lake, wish we could have taken advantage of all the water activities but there simply wasn't enough time. Great spot for a family, or a small group of friends.

Perfect Escape

We spent the weekend at this lovely cottage and got to enjoy all the great amenities. Right on a beautiful lake, we we did some canoeing and fishing during the day, and then relaxed at the cozy cottage in the evenings. All the necessities were included, which was super helpful. The surrounding area and property are gorgeous and we're looking to come back again this very same summer!
