Far Far Away Cottage

We loved our stay at this beautiful property. It is just as beautiful in person as it is in the photos. The hosts were very responsive when we had a small issue. I can't thank them enough. We would love to return.

A home away from home. This cottage is beautiful inside and out and had everything you need to be comfortable and more. The kitchen is beyond equipped, the place was sparkling clean and every detail to ensure a comfortable stay had been thought of. Greg was an excellent host, the communication was clear and accurate. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us, we hope to visit Far Far Away again soon!!

This really is a delightful airy pleasantly cool property with plenty of natural light, a place secluded enough to be private but close enough to shops etc just a few minutes down the road. It was super clean when we arrived and the wifi worked perfectly. I particularly enjoyed rowing and kayaking on the lake and sitting next to the busy hummingbird feeder. The handful of neighbours are far enough away that you don’t hear any noise. Highly recommended.

Amazing destination

What a fantastic long weekend getaway at the far far away cottage. The pictures don’t do this cottage justice, it’s absolutely stunning. Everything was better than advertised and the host was easy to communicate with. 10/10 on all fronts and will be returning next year.

Fun at Far, far Away

Our group of six adults was fortunate to enjoy three nights at the end of July at the cottage named Far, far Away ( named for a place in the movie, Shrek) Situated on a private spring-fed lake, it is exactly as presented in the listing. The water was perfect for swimming, fishing and paddling around. The hammock was a hit too. The cottage -more like a lodge -is fully equipped and very comfortable. We had a bbq each night followed by a campfire. The wood was provided by the host. Communication with the host was excellent. I would highly recommend Far, far Away and would love to return.
