Beautiful property with Gorgeous lake views. It is a nice big comfortable house with five bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. There might be slight shortage of certain things in the kitchen, so do recommend bringing items such as plastic plates and things. Otherwise everything else is functioning and well maintained. The scenery is gorgeous and I can't even imagine what it would be like to visit in the summer. My winter stay was absolutely wonderful even in the midst of a very very cold snap. The host is helpful and responsive when needed.

The host communicated well, and this was really helpful. We enjoyed our stay.What was really nice was that the host gave us an opportunity to check out later than 11:00 a.m., so we had enough time on the last day.The sauna and jacuzzi were a great experience. The playrooms and common area are very good.Just a small thing needs to be fixed in the house to make it better.

Beautiful location on the lake.Kitchen was not well equipped with essentials for foodies. Would have been fantastic if windows were operable and or screens to enjoy the fresh lake air.Basement room was very musty and not ideal for a sleeping bedroom.Pull out common sofa bed was not sleepable for adult guests.Host was fantastic and prompt with questions before and during our stay.

Cottage weekend

The property is gorgeous! Right on the water. The host is super generous and responsive and the house has everything you need. It has an extensive selection of children's toys and a lot of different games. The house itself is a bit run down and can use some TLC, while the downstairs bedroom is quite private the rest of the bedrooms could use some soundproofing. The kitchen is nice and overall it is a comfortable stay. Great for families!

Perfect family getaway

My family and I have stayed at multiple cottages via vrbo but this one was our favourite up to date. The hosts are kind, friendly and responsive. The cottage has everything you need, fully stocked and is fairly clean. We went here mid July for 2 days and the weather was warm and sunny. We enjoyed swimming and kayaking and I loved how the water is so warm, crystal clear and perfect in every way. I highly recommend water shoes since the water is rocky. I will definitely be returning! Thank you so much.

Great cottage! Nice and Clean!

We are a family of 3 and stayed in this cozy cottage for 4 nights. The cottage is well maintained, nice and clean. The host is very patient and responds to our questions promptly. We enjoyed BBQ facing the lake, and sunrise in the morning! Will like to come back again.

Great stay

Great place to stay! The backyard was enormous for games. The lake was very nice as well. All amenities in the property worked fine. The hot tub’s chlorine was a bit too much and it bleached all of our swim suits. One inconvenience to point out is the requirement to take all trash with you when you check out. We checked out on the holiday so all garbage dumps were closed… so we had to bring back bags of trash all the way back to the city…

Great Experience at this fabulous waterfront cottage

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the most charming waterfront cottage, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were enjoying the stunning views of the lake. The cottage itself was spotless and beautifully decorated, exuding a cozy and welcoming ambiance. The living area was spacious and comfortable, featuring large windows that offered panoramic views of the water. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and attentive, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their hospitality and attention to detail truly made our visit special. our stay at this waterfront cottage was a perfect retreat. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a peaceful solo escape, this cottage has it all. I highly recommend it and can't wait to return for another relaxing and rejuvenating stay.

The host was prompt and responsive, which we appreciated. However, there were several issues that impacted our stay.The lower-level heat was not functioning (with outdoor temperatures around -5C). Portable space heaters were provided, but they needed to be used continuously and repeatedly tripped the breakers, making it difficult to keep the area consistently warm. The breaker panel was located in a cellar beneath a trap-door-style access, which was not readily accessible, making resets inconvenient and disruptive. The hot tub was green and unusable. The kitchen was minimally stocked, with very few pots and pans and only large stock pots available. The coffee maker took over 30 minutes to brew a pot. All faucets were missing aerators, causing water to spray when used. The kitchen faucet was also loose and wobbly, and a fixed-position model had been installed over a double sink where a pivoting/rotating faucet would have been appropriate and functional..Many surfaces and furniture pieces were heavily worn, peeling, or chipping to the point that material was shedding with normal use. Several electrical outlets, switches, and fans did not work, and some of the electrical and plumbing work appeared makeshift. We did not observe any smoke or CO detectors on the property. The bathtubs and showers showed visible mold and staining.Overall, while communication was good, the property’s condition and maintenance fell short of expectations.

3 night stay

The location and the house are very nice. As well as sauna and dock area. The window in one of the rooms is broken, so we had to stuff tissues to prevent bugs coming inside, and in another room the bug net on the window is broken. There are no enough utensils in the kitchen and teflon pots and pans are all scratched and unsafe to use. I would highly recommend these to be replaced. The dishes were dirty and even though the dishwasher is not listed, it is installed in the kitchen and not working. There was food leftovers all around the house, probably from the previous guests. All the clean towels were damp, so we had to rewash them. Even the bad comments about the house on the white board written by previous users were still there. The host was very attentive and responded to every message. I think this property has an amazing potential, if these thing were to be addressed.
