Fishing and frogs!
The property and accommodations were great. We enjoyed our family get away and ate all our meals out on the deck with a view of the lake! The house is well equipped and the beds are very comfy. The only unfortunate downside was that the pond is not swimmable this year and we had really looked forward to that! The kids enjoyed the Sandy beach and exploring for frogs- just were not able to fully enjoy the water.

Absolutely amazing!
This property was gorgeous! It might easily be one of our favourites. The inside of the cottage was very spacious and tastefully decorated. MaryLou was very quick in answering all my questions and made our stay very comfortable. I will highly recommend anyone who wants to get together with many generations! Everyone will have their own space and things to do.

Sister's Weekend 2022.
We had a group of 11 people, myself and 3 sisters and our daughters. There was plenty of room for everyone. The outdoor spaces are amazing. kitchen is well appointed and stocked with everything you need. The house was spotless and the bedrooms were inviting. Our group really had a great time. Our host, MaryLou was very helpful, quick to answer questions and provided all the necessary information before checkin. Great experience.

Wonderful stay, great experience!
We were thrilled with how clean the cottage. Yard was well maintained. Beautiful view over looking the lake. Nice screened in porch. Upper deck with seating. Seating on the dock and around outdoor fire pit. Recycling/garbage area well organized. Bedding could have been a bit more substantial for cooler night, most had thin cotton quilts. Waterfront a bit weedy at the shore. But overall a great spot!

Enjoyable!
My family and I spent a week and found it to be clean and accommodating! They supplied everything you could imagine and the home was tastefully done. We had a great time! The only thing that was somewhat disappointing was the lake. It was full of weeds and not suitable for swimming. However, the kids did play in the pond. I highly recommend this home.
