Graduation / homecoming

Stayed at the wellington lake cottage for 5 nights, returning with my family I started on brokshaw(mud) lake in 2002. The stay was amazing. The cottage was perfect and just as listed. Lots of room to move. Everything we needed for the lake was there, all of the amenities were in very good working order. The quiet road it was on was a huge bonus. I look forward to coming here again in the future.

Very relaxing

We really enjoyed our stay. The house has a nice deck overlooking the water, a very nice and substantially sized paddle boat with a ladder that we enjoyed swimming off of in the middle of the lake, and a large, very stable kayak, although it is hard to fit more than one adult in the kayak. Even on weekends in July the lake was relatively quiet and relaxing -- no fast boats or loud people. There is a large shallow sandy bottom for easy entry into the lake. The kitchen was well equipped and functional.

Vacation stay

Things were alright in the end but it says it sleeps 8 and we had 6 people and only two bedrooms. And the boat dock was broken down and there wasn’t anything that said that when we rented it. Other than that it was a good stay.

Comfortable

Had to clean a lot. Mold under sink and bedroom closet. Spiders in guest house. Not enough pans. Cupboards full of useless alliances. Dining light has a problem. We had a good time,but a little more care needs to be taken and at least yearly inspections are a must.
