Special getaway

This property has everything you want for an incredible vacation. My family stayed here for a week (5 adults, 3 kids). There was plenty of space for us to spread out and do our own thing, as well as room to be all together. The pool and hot tub were highlights. We also spent a lot of time in the screened-in gazebo. I highly recommend this place!

Lovely getaway

Lovely vacation home, well appointed and definitely suitable for groups of 6, which we were expecting to be :) there was enough of everything! beautiful views of the water (across road that we rarely saw a car on). Bring your own shower soap, and you may want to bring a large towel for the hot tub (we used two of their outdoor towels each trip).

Wonderful lakeside cottage

The cottage was beautiful and had everything that we needed. We were able to use the hot tub and pool while we were there which was nice although it would have been more enjoyable if the pool had been heated. The mattresses on the beds were a little hard for our liking but that’s a personal preference. Overall, a very nice experience and we would definitely go back.

We were overall pleased with this property. We were HUGELY disappointed when we discovered that there was only one full bathroom and a half bathroom. The listing stated two plus bathrooms, however this is incorrect. The view was fabulous and we enjoyed the hot tub and pool. The propane tank for the BBQ was rusted.

An amazing time!

This vacation rental was great! We spent four fantastic nights with our children and grandchildren. Our hosts were wonderful - we were welcomed warmly upon our arrival. The grandchildren enjoyed every moment of the swimming pool, hot tub and swimming off of the dock. Our evenings were spent on the deck and gazebo, enjoying the fire table. The cottage was beautiful and well stocked. Everything that we needed was there. A perfect setting for a family vacation. Thank you!

Everything You Want In One Place

Very impressed with the property and the hosts for providing an exceptional experience for our family. Lots of things to do without going off the property. We enjoyed the relaxation the property offered such as the pool, hot tub and outdoor gazebo with fireplace. Hosts were quick to provide any assistance when needed. The lake provided lots of fun for all ages. Beautiful views of the lake from the house and at the dock. The dock also provided additional convenience for seating and for using boats, kayaks, etc.

Stunning location for true relaxation and fun

Brent is a wonderful host, great communication and so easy to get in. One of the best stocked properties we have been to. Lots of towels and comfortable beds. An office area (my husband worked remotely during the day! Wifi was excellent!) The pool and hot tub were fun, the view of the lake is incredible. Brent also made sure we knew of an advisory for the lake when the heat made algae a possibility. Truly appreciated this. The cottage has a large screened in gazebo as well so when it rained we could still be outside. You can easily visit Antigonish, but there’s little pull to leave once you arrive at this piece of paradise!

Girls Birthday weekend

We are a group of women that played soccer together all through university and first division and we celebrate each other’s birthdays every year with a trip away. This house was so fully stocked even down to lint rollers, lanterns with extra batteries , blankets, extra sheets towel, pillows, tons of utensils,plates, bowls they have really thought of everything perfect location, pool, hot tub and the screened in porch was a huge bonus as going in May of course there were some blackflies. Every morning we woke up to beautiful views of the lake , cannot say enough about this amazing location, the owner of the property was very easy to get a hold of and get answers of anything we needed very friendly. We will absolutely recommend this location to anyone looking as well as most likely book it again.

Recharge, reconnect and relax!

We loved every moment of our stay! Thankfully we had beautiful weather for our visit and spent almost every moment outdoors in the pool, hot tub, beautiful deck and gorgeous gazebo with the fire pit. The view is nothing short of spectacular. Indoors was spotless and beautifully decorated, a dream home and the hosts thought of everything including a welcome package of coffee, maple syrup, wine and homemade jam. So kind and very much appreciated! I slept like a baby, spent a wonderful time with my adult children, cooking in the fabulous kitchen, playing in the pool and laughing around the fire. We needed this time out from our busy lives to reconnect and this was the perfect setting! We all talked about coming back next year! Don’t change a thing, we loved it!
