A joyful return

We were delighted to return for another stay with Louise and James. They have made several improvements to what was already a wonderful guest experience, including a new dock and expanded walking trails. They are the kindest and most accommodating hosts, and really go above and beyond to make our family feel welcome. We look forward to returning year after year!

Great location and beautiful cottage

Hosts were lovely and very family oriented. Our family enjoyed all that nature had to offer with a lake that had little traffic, beavers, turtles, beautiful trail for our dog to get excited over. This place was close to the grocery store but some good local attractions such as Eagles Nest and the heritage/ mineral museum.

Annual Moms Weekend

10/10! This property had all we needed and more. We booked last min due to a change in schedules for a few girls who were no longer able to make it so we were on the hunt for a smaller property as it would just be 4 of us this year (plus a 2 month old). Well let me tell you we had the most amazing and relaxing time. The accomodations were perfect plenty of room for sleeping, cooking and getting ready for our days. We were there for 3 nights 4 days and right from the moment we got into town both louise and james were welcoming us with open arms. We received a wonderful walk through of the cabin and property including some fun facts of wildlife and minerals in the area. All the amenities we needed were at our fingertips in the kitchen and the bbq making meal time a breeze! The lake water is so clear and because it isnt too deep its quite warm too! Bon fires were amazing looking up at the clear skys filled with endless stars. I could go on and on about this amazing spot, but i think the best thing i can say is WE CANT WAIT TO BOOK AGAIN!!! thank you again

Wonderful stay!

Our group of two adults and four children (ages 9-16) had a wonderful time at this cottage. James and Louise were excellent hosts, friendly and helpful, who were also very respectful of our privacy. We loved spending time in and around the small, quiet lake. It was perfect for paddling, swimming and exploring. The kids were kept busy tromping through the woods, looking for frogs and trying to spot wildlife. The chorus of frogs and birds in this protected area is remarkable. The cottage was just the right size for us and has a good layout. The rooms and beds were comfy, the living area was perfect for games and movies. While the kitchen doesn't have a stove or oven, the appliances provided suited us just fine. We brought just enough groceries to fit the small fridge and freezer, and restocked in town partway through the week. Just a 5 minute drive away, it gave us an excuse to stop for ice cream along the highway. Overall, a very enjoyable stay. Thank you Louise and James!
