Excellent stay!

We had a 5-star experience! The cottage is ideally located with stunning lakefront views. It was immaculate and beautifully designed. Our host, Jordan, was incredibly helpful and responsive. The amenities were fantastic, including kayaks, canoes, and fire pit. We would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful cottage with all the amenities. Enjoyed the lake but unfortunately a little chilly for water sports. My only suggestion would be to maybe remove a few trees to improve the few of the lake from the cottage. I love the sun and the lake so just my suggestion. Jordan was an awesome host and was so quick to respond.

Beautiful Cottage

The cottage was just as beautiful as the pictures. It was well-equipped and had everything we needed. The lake was peaceful and perfect for paddle boarding. There were no weeds near the dock, making it great for swimming. The stairs leading to the dock were easy to navigate, no issues from anyone in our party. The owner was very responsive to our needs and questions. We highly recommend this place and are excited to return.

Clean and Relaxing

This home had everything we needed. Even though the weather was not great the kids still had fun fishing and canoeing. Despite the rain we were able to have a fire and roast marshmallows. The house was clean and we appreciated the newness of the kitchen and comfortable beds. The host was very responsive, thoughtful and kind. Thank you!!

Beautiful cottage minutes away from Port Carling

Jordan’s cottage was very beautiful and peaceful. It is very clean and well maintained. The cottage itself is located a few minutes away from Port Carling, which is super helpful for finding activities to do during rainy days! Jordan was very accommodating and responded quickly to all questions. I would highly recommend renting from him and look forward to coming back in the future! Thank you!!

Awesome Cottage For A Family Getaway!

This was our first experience at renting a cottage! Jordan was great to deal with! He was very responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. Our party was a group of 6 adults plus a small dog, and there were no issues with space! The cottage is well maintained and shows pride of ownership! Jordan ensures that his cottage is well stocked with all supplies. The cottage has 2 bathrooms and laundry facilities which was great for our party of 6. The lake is extremely peaceful and the water is clear and refreshing. We utilized the kayaks and canoe onsite. There were no concerns with the neighbouring cottages. The fire pit area was a great way to end each night for us. If you’re looking for a relaxing and peaceful getaway, while having all the amenities of your home, then this is the cottage to rent. We would definitely recommend this cottage without any hesitation or reservation! Continued success Jordan!

About the host

Two brother's sought out a family cottage and hope to share a piece of their paradise.

Why they chose this property

Port Carling has so much to offer for those that want to experience a bit of peace and serenity, with the luxuries that the nearby town offers.

What makes this property unique

Many cottages are either 30 years old, or brand new and unattainable. Ours has the main floor modernized, with the rest of the cottage left with original old-tyme design. We enjoy that cottage feel, and want our guests to feel the same nostalgia.
