The cottage was clean and cozy. Great hiking as we went in the fall. The colours are outstanding. Bought the best maple syrup right off the farm. Hot tub made our evenings, it was clean, host supplied chemicals as well. Would highly recommend.

Winter Birthday Getaway

This property was the perfect place to celebrate my boyfriends 40th birthday with his closest friends! It had plenty of board games, a fully stocked kitchen, and very spacious living areas. It is beautifully renovated and the host was very kind, communicated well, responded quickly, and made sure the property was prepared for our stay (the road and driveway was salted/sanded, fire pit and wood stove had plenty of new and available wood, very clean). The hot tub was lovely and the view was amazing. There were no issues with Wifi - we were able to work remotely (there is even a desk with monitor to do so in the living room), and stream tv. It is also nice that we could include my 13 year old dog on our trip, she enjoys the chill cottage life and I wouldn't have chosen a property that I could not bring her. The hosts website (access close to booked stay) is so informative in regards to the property itself, as well as what is available within the area and community. We can not wait to go back to this property again for everything mentioned, and in contrast to spend some of the summer to experience the lake, the many trails, and to get some maple syrup and mineral tours from the farm close by! Thank you, Greg for everything you've put into this property and sharing it.
