The host was very responsive. The cottage was very clean and beautiful. Cottage was close to main road but you could not hear traffic which was good. This is a four bedroom cottage, king bedroom and bunk bedroom is off the main living area. Third bedroom is located in the basement walkout but you have to enter the room with a key from outside. Fourth bedroom was located in separate bunkie. All rooms were great but it would have been good to know room locations since we rented in winter.

The place was nice! Beautiful view had everything we needed. **********Note this place is not a true 4 bedroom. What is not advertised is that that one of the bedrooms is a bunky (without proper heat). We could not use the bunky like intended. And the other bedroom is below the main level, accessed by a separate entrance. Also like others have stated, communication could use some work on behalf of the host. ..

Quiet getaway

Even though our stay was just two nights the level of relaxation cannot be measured. The outdoor beauty was so calming matched only by the beautiful inside decor and presentation. Everything you could ever want was available. This property was spotless and the host was readily and easily available. We will most definitely be returning only for longer. Thank you so much

Good location with all the comforts of home.

Easy to find as it’s the first home just off the main road. That being said it can get a little noisy when the large trucks drive by. For the most part it didn’t bother us and you get used to it. Great lake for kayaking (not provided) we brought our own. The dock does have a ladder for easy access. We took our dog to the other end of the lake where it is shallow and has a sandy bottom. This is a public entrance area. Our son did some fishing off the dock and caught a nice size bass which we cooked for dinner. Hamid the owner, was always quick to respond to our inquiries. Overall we had a lovely 8 night stay ! 😎

A Gem of a place

This is a great place to stay!!! We loved our time here. The view, the decor and outside deck were our favourite. We Stayed for 2 nights for the Rock Hound Gemboree and we really loved how close it was to the venue but still far away enough to give a great cottage feel. The lake was so warm and we loved the inflatable kayak! The cottage was exceptionally clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. One thing were didn’t realize was the layout of the rooms - one was located in the lower I guess basement area which could only be accessed outside the cottage and it was very cold and musty. No one used this bed as it was isolated and we were concerned about having to go to the washroom at night. This is not a cottage if you have mobility issues as there is a long walkway to the cottage from where you park and we did notice a loose rock step, also steep steps to get in the front door and although the bunkie is close it’s also a steep hill. The other main rooms and interiors were great as was the bunkie and we all reallly loved how soft all the bedding was!! Oh, please note that at the waste disposal they no longer accept recycling so we had to take that home with us, on a fun note there was a large black bear at the dump!! Overall, we all felt this was a great place to stay and really enjoyed our time. Would definitely recommend to others. We had a great time in a beautiful cottage.

Absolutely lovely, but some inaccuracies in listing

Overall, we had a wonderful stay at the property and would definitely consider returning in the winter season. However, we were very surprised to see that the primary bedroom shown in the photos no longer exists. It has been renovated to two bedrooms, and the barn door is no longer there. I was very disappointed. The fact that there were no pictures of the bathroom worried me. The bathroom is okay, especially for a cottage. But the toilet paper is placed on top of a garbage can, instead of mounted. Other finishes in the bathroom are lacking - screws are exposed and trim is damaged. The other inaccuracy is the privacy. It is essentially right on the highway. We could hear cars in the morning while we were sleeping. It wasn't a big deal in the winter, but it was enough that I wouldn't want to be there in summer. Finally, the kitchen is described as well stocked, but is missing some basic essentials that you should expect, like an ice cube tray, measures, and wine glasses. We had to go and buy wine glasses as the only option was very cracked plastic. Now for the good stuff. This cottage was the most immaculately clean property I have rented. I had ZERO concerns in any of the spaces. The common area with the couch and fireplace was spot on. Cozy, comfy and inviting. And the kitchen was a joy to cook in. We would definitely consider returning for a cozy winter retreat. All in all, we really enjoyed it!

We are an older pair with a small dog. We have been using VRBO for years. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The host communicated well. We visited in March. The climb to the cottage was very icy and difficult that weekend. There was some sand at the cottage but we needed a lot more. The cottage is in a beautiful location. Things we have not encountered with previous VRBO properties: the freezer was full with the hosts food. It would have been nice to have some access to that for our own needs. The host was kind enough to let us in earlier than the 5pm access time remotely. Check out is 1000am. Most places ask for an 11am departure. We have friends in the area and overall had a nice time. The beds were comfortable. The view of the lake was amazing. Due to accessibility issues we probably won’t return. We knew there were several stairs down to the lake, but a picture of the stairs up to the property would have helped.

About the host

Hosted by Hamid Rahimi

Host profile image
A local host and real-estate professional who loves creating memorable spaces where people can relax, reconnect, and recharge. The Wolf’s Den is my personal escape from the city — a place that combines comfort, design, and a touch of adventure. I’ve always believed that great stays are about small details: the morning light through the windows, the quiet moments by the fire, and that feeling of calm the moment you arrive. Hosting allows me to share that experience with others who appreciate thoughtful spaces and meaningful getaways.

Why they chose this property

The area around the Wolf’s Den has always felt special to me — peaceful yet full of character. Whether it’s the sound of the trees swaying, the fresh air on a morning walk, or the starlit sky at night, it’s the kind of place that instantly slows life down. I chose this spot because it captures the best of both worlds: nature at your doorstep and easy access to local trails, small-town charm, and hidden gems only locals know. It’s a true retreat without being disconnected from comfort.

What makes this property unique

The Wolf’s Den is designed to feel like your own private sanctuary — warm, modern, and full of personality. Every corner was curated with intention, from the cozy interiors and rustic accents to the inviting outdoor spaces perfect for morning coffee or evening fires. It’s a place where design meets nature, where guests can truly unwind — whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a creative reset, or simply to breathe in fresh air and disconnect from the everyday.
