Just returned from a Family Day long weekend at this gem! It was everything we hoped - a cozy retreat with scenic views, cabin vibes and premium amenities. Hot tub soaks, sauna steams, pool plays, couch curls, wintery walks, lake skates - there really was something for everyone... which is a tall order when travelling with teenagers and a pup;) We appreciated how well kept the place was and how attentive Chris was to our booking. Our only regret... not experiencing it in the summer! A must.

Our family really enjoyed the serene location of The Eagle's Nest combined with the luxurious amenities (hot tub, sauna and pool table) and high speed internet. Located more than a mile from a public road, the private lane was well plowed and, even as a winter ice storm raged outside, we were comfortable, relaxed and enjoyed the beauty of it all from our hot tub vantage point. Chris, our host, has thought of every contingency to make sure the house can withstand winter conditions (including a back-up generator). The kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals in. The layout of the house and all it has to offer helped us make memories to last a lifetime. Groomed cross country ski trails are less than an hour a way but during our stay we were able to use the private lane as our playground for adventures in the snow. We loved our time together in the north woods. Thank you Chris for sharing your beautiful property with us!
Winter wonderland!

The Perfect Family Getaway

We had an amazing stay! Our hosts were very welcoming, responsive, and helpful. The cottage and grounds were more than expected. Clean, organized, and had everything we needed. Our family couldn't have asked for a better place to spend the week. The location is perfect, quiet, peaceful, and has opportunities to create your own adventures. We look forward to booking again and creating more memories with the family.

Scenic location and beautiful property

The cottage is beautiful with great views of the water and fall colours. It is fully equipped with all the nice-to-haves while you're vacationing. The place is clean and well maintained. There's plenty to do on the property itself. Unfortunately, the cottage went into blackout due to a power outage within minutes of us arriving. Everything turned off - heating, water, stove, wifi etc. since all appliances were connected via electricity. Chris was responsive and stayed in touch through it. I will flag that the cottage does not sleep 8. We were a group of 8 and there were beds for only 7. One of us had to sleep on the sofa which was not ideal. Additionally, Chris reached out to us during our stay mentioning that there will be an additional charge of $200 because we were 8 people instead of 6. We shared with him screenshots of our booking that clearly showed 6 adults and 2 children booked. After realizing that we were right, Chris said that he wouldn't charge us extra to "compensate for the power outage". All the back and forth threw us off a little since we were there to spend relaxed time. I wish we would instead be compensated by taking $200 off the bill since the place was good to sleep <8 people. Other than that, we had a nice time and will recommend the place to anyone looking to enjoy the Algonquins during the fall.
