Had an amazing experience, home was very well kept and clean. The back yard had an amazing view and lots of fun things to do. Friends wanted to use the hottub which was the only thing we noticed to not be as clean as the rest of the house but that's okay. Overall had an amazing time !!

Every area of the house was very well thought out and allowed space for everyone. Just a couple suggestions would be to have some helpful instruction of the fire pit, such as having to buy your own fire wood, etc just so they know what to bring without having to go back out. Also, a hand rail going down to the basement would be helpful and safe.

Thank you so much for your glowing review and for taking the time to share your thoughtful suggestions. We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your family enjoyed the space and found it well-suited for everyone. We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the fire pit—adding clearer guidance, such as information about bringing firewood, is an excellent idea, and we’ll be updating our house manual to reflect that. Your comment about a handrail for the basement stairs is also very helpful, and we’ll be looking into ways to improve safety and accessibility for future guests. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be more than happy to welcome you and your family back anytime.

This property had everything as listed and was true to the photos and descriptions. We had a fantastic stay enjoying the space and time by the lake. The kitchen was well stocked, better than any rental property our group has been to, which was a huge help when preparing big meals and during clean up. The host was very helpful in lead up to the trip and had an exceptionally fast response time whenever we had questions.

Perfect setting to make memories with family!

We stayed here with 15 family members to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday. It did not disappoint! From the moment you walk in the door and see straight through the sunroom windows to the beautiful view of the lake, you realize you are in special place. The house is spacious and immaculate. Just when you think you’ve seen everything, there is more! Not to mention the well kept back yard with jacuzzi and your own private dock. I got so many compliments on finding this amazing place.

Relaxing stay on the lake

We spent most of the time off property golfing or at the Canadian Open golf tourney but the time on property was very relaxing. The water pressure is great. The beds are great. We used the breakfast nook daily with the great view. We took in the sunset and used the big screen TV for some sports events. It is a very enjoyable lake cottage. Thank you!
