Excellent vacation
The check in worked very well. The cottage was very clean and spacious. The cottage accommodated 13 of us (8 adults and 5 children). We used all 3 pull out couches and brought our own blow up mattress. We loved all the water equipment (2 kayaks, 1 paddle board, 1 pedal boat). Also we used the billiards table and ping pong. There are a lot of stairs to the water which we didn’t mind but could be an issue for some people. The cottage is close to Buckhorn. I would definitely recommend Alloro Pizza. One of the best I have ever tasted. The Petroglyphs are nearby and would recommend. The kitchen is well appointed. It did not have a blender and I like to make smoothies. The kitchen table and table on deck are big and was able to accommodate us The cottage comes with bedding except for pull out couches. The water is very weedy but that can’t be helped It is a lovely spot and we would highly recommend

Relaxing weekend with a great view
Our group met over Canada Day weekend for a nice relaxing retreat. The cottage is a really great place. Clean, welcoming, well furnished with many things for our enjoyment. The basement is always cooler than the rest of the house, which is great for hot days. We all honestly had a great relaxing weekend. Only small "issue" (which has nothing to do with Jacob and the cottage itself) relates to the quality of the lake water. The kayaks and the canoe are amazing and a great opportunity to go on the lake, but swimming is less fun than we had hoped because of the high concentration of algae's and the overall "muckiness" of the water. Again, nothing to do with the host and the cottage per-say, but if the group intended to spend some time swimming in the water, you might find yourself somewhat disappointed.

A perfect weekend getaway!
Jacob’s lakehouse was everything we hoped for and more! The location was perfect - close enough to town to be convenient, but far enough away to feel like we were in our own private oasis. The cabin was very spacious, clean and well-maintained, with all the amenities we needed for our stay. We especially loved the private access to the lake, free to use water equipment (paddle board, life jackets, pedal boat) and the beautiful views from the deck. Jacob was very friendly and accommodating, - he was welcoming of our dogs and large party. Thanks for a great time Jacob! We can't wait to visit again :)

Fun weekend getaway
I went with a group of 10 and we enjoyed our stay this past weekend. First, the property was very clean. My biggest concern when renting a place is the cleanliness of the bathroom. It was all extremely clean, and I liked that there weren't crevices where dirt could build up. The water pressure and heat were phenomenal! The house had everything that we needed to cook. The water toys that Jacob allowed us to use were lots of fun, and there were plenty of life jackets. Checking in was very easy and Jacob was always very responsive and timely. It was a pleasure communicating with him. I would recommend using google maps to find the cottage, as the neighborhood has many small roads and it's easy to get lost. There are also lots of flying insects, so bug spray is a must (which is to be expected as the house is right on the lake). However, there were no bugs inside the house! It was wonderful. Also, if you need to go into town for any reason, there's one about 15 minutes drive away. My favourite part of the cottage was the sunroom. It was so relaxing to lounge while taking in the view. Other members of my party loved the game room and especially the ping pong table! The cottage is laid out in a way where people cooking in the kitchen could communicate with people in the dining area and living room, so it wasn't isolated, which we really appreciated. Overall, my group had an amazing time, and Jacob was a wonderful host. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway for the weekend.
