Little peace of heaven. The water was so clear and the lake was a joy to wake up to every morning. Clean and comfortable for our family of 5! Emily even had a little welcome messagefor us inside the cottage. (Such a nice touch). We would highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay. The screened in porch was so nice to have, it really increased the living space (especially with four of us and one couch inside) and our outside time, no matter the weather, which I loved. The cottage was stocked and organized really well and very thoughtfully and we appreciated that. Cottagey, but with some updates and cute touches. We all had fun with the kayaks and paddle boat. The lake was great for our paddle boards too, so calm. The swim mat was a big hit with the kids! And we appreciated the firewood, it really helped make our stay to have frequent campfires. I loved the peace and quiet.

Great place

We arrived to having everything put in place for us. All we had to do was bring food and clothing. Our host had everything done for us. We enjoyed the water crafts that they had as well. Nice private beach. Very relaxing stay.

Cozy lakeside cottage with a great sandy beach for kids. Being able to bring our dog was a huge plus. We had a bit of a hiccup with a plumbing leak and owners were timely with their response. Campfires, walks, hanging with friends, listening to geese, ducks, and loons. What more could you want for a relaxing week away from it all?

Just what we needed!

My husband and I had a great stay at Big Rock Cottage! Whenever I book a place, I always have that moment of - I hope this is as nice as the pics and reviews say...you can book with confidence here! Everything is as pictured, the cottage comes equipped with the essentials, the view is amazing, the screened porch is great, and the hosts are very responsive and accommodating. We'll definitely be returning!

Great getaway for families and their pups!

Great little cottage for a family and their pups! Cottage is very clean and the waterfront is perfect for children and dogs Quiet country location but within 20 minutes of shops. Hosts are kind and very responsive to any questions. They even stopped by with a generator when they heard we may have lost power intermittently during one of our days at the cottage! To the hosts: thanks for letting us use your space for a few days! Hope to do it again next summer!!

Wonderful Cottage Memories on Dalhousie Lake

First off, Emily was an amazing host - throughout all communications, she was prompt and accurate with information. In our group, we had two kids under 3 years old and Emily provided all sorts of things to make the kids feel at home - so unexpected and thoughtful! The cottage itself worked well for our needs, great screened in porch that worked well for rainy days, awesome fire pit stocked with firewood and a lovely setting on Dalhousie Lake. Great little towns to visit nearby as well. Our family truly enjoyed the stay and we highly recommend this rental to other families.
