Great cottage - well-equipped, comfortable, and right on the lake. Gary called us beforehand to answer any questions and gave us a warm welcome when we arrived. Wonderful stargazing at night from the deck and birds, chipmunks, squirrels feeding right on the patio. As this is an authentic cottage experience, folks not based in Canada need to be aware that you have to bring bedsheets and towels (Gary is very clear and helpful on what you need to bring). Apart from that the cottage had everything we needed. A wonderful, peaceful getaway and a kind and welcoming host.

The log home is the perfect place to spend quality time with family and unwind in nature. Gary was extremely helpful with getting us acquainted with the property. Sharing his love for the stars was a special treat and was an incredible experience. It's a great location to see the night sky. The weather was amazing, and we were able to enjoy all the amenities - canoeing, time on the dock and hammocks, campfires, and more. Thanks for making our first family vacation memorable!

Gary is a wonderful host, greeted me upon arrival, gave me a quick tour to make sure I knew where everything was and detailed instructions on how to use things within the cottage, and he also came back to say goodbye. Super friendly, very accommodating and answered any questions quickly. The cabin is beautiful, has everything you would need, very cozy, super comfortable bed and furniture, and I really admire the design and construction of the cabin.And then there's the property, one of the most peaceful places I've ever stayed at. There's alot of different options to hangout and truly unwind outside facing the lake, definitely a piece of paradise! I highly recommend Gary as a host and his very special cabin/property, I'd 100% like to stay there again!

Our group booked a reading retreat getaway and Gary's cottage was the perfrct location. We met Gary upon check in and he provided a tour. Its a beautiful log cabin with lots of space and situated nicely aming tall shaded trees, and a few steps away from Farm lake. Overall it had everything we needed - comfortable lodging, very private and quiet and stunning lake views. The couches and beds were comfortable. There is no air conditioning but there are fans in every room (we wished we had known as we had brought some and knowing there were lots of fans would have been helpful). We did swim in the lake with some floaties which was lovely. The lake is a bit muddy and weedy so its ideal to bring floaties. Overall, it was a fab weekend. We will be back and Gary was a responsive, kind and gracious host. It is also a great spot for families! Thank you Gary!!

Lovely cabin

We enjoyed staying at Gary's cabin. It's rustic, cozy, and had everything we needed. He's a great host, he met up in person upon our arrival just to give us a short tour and intro to the cottage and it's workings, along with offering to take us out on his pontoon boat on the lake. The kitchen had all cooking essentials and tools with a couple options for brewing coffee.. drip or press. The lake is shallow but great for canoe trips to enjoy the scenery, canoe supplied by Gary. We fed the birds from our hand off the porch swing and watched the other wildlife from the cottage.Washer and dryer was a bonus to have.

Had a Great Time

We had a wonderful time. Gary is a great host. He was very welcoming, friendly and warm. His cottage was lovely. Perfect for a quiet retreat. The lake in the early morning and evening is so calm, just sit back and take it all in. In the early morning, you can see the mist lifting off the lake, perfect for that classic cottage picture.If you enjoy bass fishing, this lake is a great choice. We caught a great number of 3 to 4 pounders.Gary is very passionate about astronomy as many previous renters have mentioned. He shared his vast knowledge with us. It made our stay that much more memorable.Thank you Gary for your hospitality. We had an unforgettable time.

A great cottage for a family getaway

We had a fantastic stay at this cottage! Gary was excellent host—friendly, responsive, and made everything easy. He is an avid astronomer and astrophotographer and we spent a wonderful evening of stargazing with him.The location is perfect, right on the lake with beautiful views and peaceful surroundings. Bon Echo Provincial Park is just a short drive away and made for a great day trip with its hiking trails and stunning cliffs. Sand Lake’s public beach nearby was a nice bonus for a relaxing swim.

Not as expected

The surroundings were not inspiring The river was muddy The place needed some serious maintenance and was very dirty, particularly the bathroom, with black mould and rust in the bath, with some pliers instead of a knob for the faucet The outdoor furniture was dirty The balcony was not inviting, very dirty and dusty The fridge and the microwave were not recently cleaned The kitchen sink was not scrubbed The dishes drying rack had some black mould The sofas were smelly, I had to wash the covers myself, and still the smell was present. We left after 2 nights. The only redeeming thing was the host showing us his incredible telescopes and the guided tour to the dark sky reserve observatory. That was really good.

We had a fantastic weekend with perfect weather. We enjoyed canoeing and playing in the warm lake. At night, we had a lovely evening in front of a campfire, relishing the peace and quiet away from the city noise. Gary warmly welcomed us and provided all the necessary information about the cottage. The best part was that our furry friends were also welcome, which we truly appreciated. Thanks for the wonderful getaway!
