Came for two nights, family of four. The cottage itself is very basic and rustic, although views on water are beautiful. The whole experience was negative for us after realizing that we were charged double the nightly rate we booked as well as being charged in USD instead of CAD as we had booked. Rates were changed and charged without our consent. The situation soured our experience considerably. Definitely do not recommend this property nor the platform.

Many people have stayed here since, and we have consistently received great reviews. We continue to update the property and feel it is a spectacular place and a great value. Much of this issue was with the platform itself, not the home or location.

They booked early season when the weather was terrible and left after only a few days. The home and location are exactly as described, but we can't control the weather or season.
