A beautiful property in an excellent location. The cottage was extremely clean and the lake is lovely for swimming. The neighbours are quite close on either side which isn’t very clear from the listing. The host only provides sheets and towels for an additional fee. We loved using the hot tub but could have used some clearer instructions on how to operate it. Overall a great stay in a beautiful place!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location by the lake is stunning and it was so quiet and peaceful. We loved canoeing around the lake and lounging in the hot tub on cooler evenings. There are plenty of attractions and facilities within 45 minutes drive. There were some frosty nights but the cabin was toasty warm.

Summer fun

We really enjoyed our stay. It was great to have the water front so close to the cottage. The weather was perfect and the cottage provided everything needed to escape and enjoy the outdoors.

Disliked: Cleanliness
There are some lovely things about this cottage. Cardiff Lake is beautiful and clear, and there is a wonderful walking trail nearby. Upon arrival, the toilet was not working. We contacted the host who responded right away but did not get the issue fixed during our 4 day/3 night visit. Clearly someone knew there was an issue as the water to the toilet was turned off. There is only one bathroom in the cottage, Also, the cottage was not very clean when we arrived and we had to wash the cutlery, plates and dishes before using them.Potential guests should also be aware that the cottage is very close to the highway. This wasn’t something we fully appreciated from the listing. You can hear the traffic quite clearly, including while sitting outside or down at the dock, so if you are looking for a quiet, secluded cottage experience, this is worth knowing.There is certainly potential here—the lake and surrounding area are lovely—but for us, the cleanliness, unresolved bathroom issue and highway noise significantly affected the experience. We are avid VRBO users and we will not return to this location. We did not use the hot tub.

Great cozy cottage on a nice lake

We were celebrating the birthday of a family member who enjoys quiet and nature. We had a great dinner, enjoyed a fire and spent a great day on the ice and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. I recommend for anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Comfortable

We enjoyed our stay. It’s a very comfortable cottage. We would have enjoyed the outside more but unfortunately the people staying next door had two large dogs that they seemed incapable of leashing or keeping on their property.

Nice place, a little dirty.

Overall the cottage and location are very nice. We loved having a swimmable waterfront and hot tub. The size of the cottage was also sufficient for our group (4 adults). Our only complaint is the cleanliness, specifically in the kitchen.

Father/Daughter getaway

Overall a great 5 day vacation. Classic northern cottage with natural wood interior and all the amenities. Comfortable and cozy, clean with an amazing lake. There had been a water shortage because of the extend hot weather but our host communicated early and often to ensure we were comfortable. Hot tub was a nice treat.A great Algonquin Cookhouse with a general store just minutes down the road if you want to treat yourself to a meal! Definitely would recommend this rental.

Nice property

Had a great stay. Hot tub was great little bit of debris but not bad. Cabin was good size. The walk out porch was big and nice to have off the master bedroom. We’ll equipped kitchen. Dock was a bit on the small size but worked for fishing. All in all a great place will definitely rent again.

Great cottage

We overall had a great time,water was beautiful cottage was very nice, there weren’t any kayaks as listed and we weren’t able to use the water lily pad as there were huge rips in it and looked rather old, and my kids were looking forward to the water activities, it was one of the main reasons why we booked here, that was rather disappointing, also no fire wood is provided so we had to bring our own, other then that is was a great get away

Great experience at a Charming Lake Front Cottage

Charming wood cottage with great lake front access. We came to stay in the area to visit Algonquin Park. After hiking in Algonquin Park, we came back to a very nice hot tub. It was clean and hot! Then we lit up the bonfire and enjoyed the magical evening. We would definitely come back in the summer for swimming and fall for the colors. Actually, we think Cardiff Lake is as beautiful as any lakes in Algonquin Park. Thanks to Venessa and Troy for sharing your beautiful home.

Perfect Summer Retreat!

I would highly recommend this cottage. Perfectly situated on a quiet and calm lake, the property has everything you could need for a break from the city. The cottage itself is a good size, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. The kitchen is small, but well equipped. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The upper deck outside is perfect for relaxing or meal times, while the lower lawn has a wonderful fire pit and direct access to a clean calm lake. The hot tub was a nice bonus! The host was very quick to respond to questions, and the check in process was smooth. I’ll be hoping to book here again next summer!
