Perfect escape

We had a lovely time at this cottage. It was exactly what we needed. The dock and water was beautiful which is where we spent most of our time. The added bonus of 3 paddle boards was so enjoyable! Lovely tiers from dock to fire pit to cottage outdoor wrap around deck gave us multiple spots to enjoy at different times of day. Kitchen was the perfect size with everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back! Communication with the owners was exceptional! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful cottage!

Lakeside heaven

Our stay started with the owner contacting and answering all our questions. She was so helpful throughout the stay. Cottage is located in the most picturesque setting on a calm, weed free lake. We learned how to kayak and tried our hand at standup paddle boarding. A great week

Thanksgiving family weekend

We enjoyed the tastefully decorated, quaint cottage at the shoreline of Head lake. The view from the cottage and deck was stunning and has easy acces to the lake for fun on the water. The weather (especially the cold wind) this time of the year is less suited for swimming and watersport. It’s for sure wonderful in the warmer seasons. We kept the inside of the cottage cozy and warm with the wood burning fireplace, adding that Thanksgiving ambience. While the kitchen was well equipped it was a bit small to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner but the outside bbq and fireplace offered plenty of room to make it all work. We enjoyed the fall colours and the first snow of the season and met with a number of friendly locals.

Perfect family holiday

Incredible stay and amazing cottage. Natasha thought if everything and really provided all we needed for a great stay. We stayed in September and the water was still warm enough to swim, but very fresh! Lots of great boat rides :) The highway across the water was louder than we expected it to be, with big trucks and motorcycles driving along the highway. Otherwise a really amazing trip!
