3rd visit

This was our 3rd stay at Sun on the Brow, first at Blue Skies cottage. We had a lovely relaxing long weekend. We played cards in the boathouse, and spent lots of time out on the paddle boards and kayaks. Hosts are always welcoming. Cottage was clean and well equipped.

Very special location

Blue Skies cottage sits at the end of a long lane on the edge of quiet Lake Opinicon. The beautifully renovated cottage has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Kim and Bill are available, very welcoming and helpful. The boathouse is an amazing bonus that was a wonderful gathering place for our family at the end of the day. We loved everything about our stay here and highly recommend it.

HAPPY LAKESIDE VACATION

This property is so relaxing to stay at. Our cottage overlooked the lake. You can hear the loons and see the stars. There is a large deck to sit out on for our exclusive use. The cottage comes fully equipped, is very clean and well looked after. Our hosts are wonderful and very responsive. This is our second time there, more to come!

Another amazing stay

This was our second year staying at Grandview and it won’t be the last as we could not have been happier. This cottage has everything you could possibly need. Bill & Kim are such fantastic hosts, they’re always close by to ensure a smooth stay. The views from the wrap around deck never disappoint and the trees provide a shady, cool spot to relax. Every detail is considered and the place was spotless when we arrived. Can’t say enough good things about both the cottage and the hosts.

Pure relaxation

Sun on the Brow, Blue Skies cottage provided our family with a relaxing week surrounded in nature. Opinicon lake was beautiful and peaceful. The Kayaks provided allowed us to explore the beauty of the lake and all the wildlife. The cottage was cozy and stocked with everything we needed. The renovations were well done. Only thing to mention was the size of the shower as it was very small. our family loved the boathouse. Air hockey competitions were lots of fun. Would recommend to others.

A Peaceful Getaway from the City

A lovely and quiet spot for a relaxing week away. The recent renos of the interior were nicely done, while maintaining the original rustic nature of the cottage. The kitchen was well-stocked with all we needed. Great to have access to kayaks. Our cottage "neighbours" and their dogs were very friendly but respectful of our space. Kim and Bill were always nearby if needed. We appreciated the welcoming gifts left for us on the table. I would only say that if you enjoy swimming, you should know the lake is clean and refreshing but fairly shallow and a bit weedy.
