Staying in the cottage was fun
The cottage is very nice but unorganized. No towels in the bathroom. we had to search every closets to find them. We ended up finding them piled up in the dryer. We never found the booklet with the check out instructions.

Annual Gil’s getaway
We had a great time. Kitchen well stocked. Not as clean as we expected based on reviews we had read. Single beds weren’t made. We weren’t able to watch TV until a technician showed up. Wifi was very weak.

Family reunion no stress
We had booked this place last yr and loved it- but this yr booked again to include older relatives - aunt and uncle from england- who wanted a true cdn cottage experience! They loved it all. We were: 4 adults 2 seniors (fit but early 70s) and our 2 teens (16-18) . The canoe and paddle at cottage work great- as a bonus canoe is light to lift. We brought our kayaks and tied up our 18.5 ft boat for the week. The place was clean and kitchen fully loaded with anything you need (we brought hand soap) . Very memorable and terrific stay !

Fantastic location right on the water. Great swimming off the dock. Sunsets across the water and serenaded by the loons. Lovely spacious and comfortable lodging with all the amenities of home. Thank you to our hosts!

Great stay
The property is very clean, modern, and spacious. Lots of room for family members to be together or separate for different reasons. The dock worked out fine for our boat and the water was very nice with clean, deep water, swimming off the end of the dock. The fishing was great as well.

Peaceful Retreat
This large cottage was such a peaceful place to enjoy great views and to enjoy nature. The cottage was spacious and lovely with really comfortable beds. It was an easy drive to some of the area towns for some shopping. We saw deer every day we were driving to a town - lovely.
