We have rented many places and this one is excellent; accommodations were like a hotel within a house! Kitchen is superb for larger parties- two of everything made things seamless when serving dinner for 16 people. Property was beautiful and we enjoyed the backyard immensely. Highly recommend.

The photos do not do it justice. This was the perfect place for a large family gathering with ages 4-84 in the group. The surrounds are beautiful. As well as all the advertised fun - kayaks, canoe, bikes, indoor games, beach, etc. - the life jackets are clean and dry, there is a fabulous fire pit, sand toys for the littles nicely stored near the water. Stairs and pathways manageable for older folks. Last but not least - the beds are very comfortable! I could go on. It was a real treat to stay at the Winsley. We had a fabulous time. Thank you, Norm and Julie!

We love that everyrhing we need to relax and enjoy ourselves is included with the property (bikes, kayaks, SUPs, games...) so all we have to donis show up. The location is quiet and scenic amd makes for a perfect get away. Norm is very easy to work with.

Girls Weekend

The property was fabulous. We had twelve women and the number of bedrooms, the size of the kitchen, the two refrigerators, two dishwashers, two stoves and ovens were out of this world. It was so clean and well taken care of. Can’t say enough good things about the place. Would definitely go back again.

Lovely Thanksgiving Weekend Family Experience

We enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving weekend at this beautiful, well-equipped and inviting facility with four generations of our family. The cottage is so spacious with something for everyone. The kitchen was a dream to work in with everything you could possibly need to host a beautiful weekend. The media room, the games room, the amazing view of the lake - everything was perfect. There was truly something for everyone. The hosts were very helpful and supportive. You couldn't ask for a better location or cottage to enjoy family time together.

Our second stay at The Winsley was even better than our first visit last summer… and that was hard to surpass!This exquisite property is a perfect place to gather together, relax, and recharge! Our family of 12 enjoyed every aspect of this beautifully maintained home. This spacious house, with more than enough room for everyone, has a dream kitchen: 2 ovens, 2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, 3 sinks and stocked with everything needed to prepare meals for a large group. The lakefront provides ample opportunity for boating, swimming, fishing, and playing in the sand. The new spa pool enhanced our visit and added to the overall peaceful nature of this get away. There are plenty of games, bikes, and tvs (World Cup 2026!) to make everyone happy. The back porch, a family favorite, has stunning views of the lake. Although we primarily stayed at the house, the area is centrally located and easily accessible to parks, shopping, trails, and a variety of summer activities. One of the best aspects of this rental is the ease with which we were able to communicate with Norm, the owner. He answered all our questions promptly, supplied us with helpful information, and quickly sent over someone when we discovered a hornet’s nest on the porch. This is the perfect summer retreat; we were truly able to sit back and relax!Thank you Norm and Julie!

Best Cottage for Large Group

Perfect cottage. Everything is thought of by property owner. 8 bedrooms, each has 2 queen beds. Perfect for a large group. Basement rec room area so great for hanging out. Outdoor areas were perfect as well for corn hole and frisbee and hanging out by the water. Kitchen has more than enough of everything. 2 commerical fridges and freezers. 2 ovens. 2 drip coffee machines. Cottage is perfect. Zero complaints. Book it while you can, you wont regret it.

Perfection!

Our group of 8 adults and 4 children had a peaceful and relaxing week at this amazing vacation retreat. The beauty of the lake combined with the stunning home made this a vacation to treasure. The home is abundantly spacious and exceptionally comfortable. The kitchen is a chef’s dream; the boats for the lake were used multiple times every day. The garage is equipped with life vests as well as a variety of bikes, outdoor games, and high chairs. There is plenty of outdoor seating as well as a fire pit. We spent hours on the porch reading, playing games, and enjoying the beauty of the lake. The downstairs game area, exercise room, and theater added to everyone’s enjoyment. The house is decorated beautifully and filled with absolutely everything needed to make our visit comfortable and easy. Although we spent most of our time at the house, the surrounding area has a lot to offer: beautiful parks and fun towns to visit. And, finally, communicating with the owner was fantastic! He always answered promptly and was a great source of information for the surrounding area. Thank you Norm and Julie!

The owners have done an amazing job outfitting their property to easily host large groups or multiple families. The amenities are amazing and we’re enjoyed immensely this past weekend.

Family Holiday

Beautiful cottage on a small quiet lake. This was the second year we stayed at this property. The cottage easily accommodated my parents, my daughter’s family and my siblings (and their families). It is well equipped, beautifully furnished and is very comfortable. Norm is very responsive to any questions. Our family very much enjoyed our stay.

Perfect family vacation

This cottage is perfect for the extended family that wants to get together for a vacation but is still large enough that everyone can "have their own space". Appropriate for all age groups. Something for everyone to do! Our grandchildren had a ball at the waters edge and running and playing on the property in a very safe environment. Movie room was a big hit with them as well. Everything was clean, in good working order and host was very available for any questions we had. Overall had a terrific family holiday!! Hope to repeat again for sure.

Outstanding Vacation home

Our family of 12 (7 adults and 5 children) enjoyed our summer vacation at the "Winsley House' very much. Everyone's expectations were not only met but exceeded. There is plenty of space for everyone to enjoy themselves. The beach area was great for our 2 & 4 year old and all of the water crafts were used daily by everyone and the theatre was an added bonus. Thank you for providing a clean, wonderful home in a beautiful setting that everyone enjoyed. 5 stars!!!

Great for Family

A very well appointed “ set up” for large groups . It is purpose built . We had three families with little kids and the property worked very well. Toys , boats , everything thought out .. The property would also work for adult groups as well, as long as everyone understands this is a very quiet lake setting.
