3rd Time's A Charm
We stayed at Mark’s cottage/villa with our adult children and had another awesome holiday. This was our 3rd time renting – first time in the summer. The place is remote, and quiet – excepts for the loons, chipmunks, squirrels and bullfrogs😊 - it was only on the weekend that we heard other people partying on the lake, and even then – they weren’t too rowdy. Its well equipped; squeaky clean gas BBQ, newish appliances and every kitchen tool you could want – if you like to cook. It also comes with kayaks, canoe, rowboat, fishing gear. There is a protected sandy beach and a separate terraced badminton area. Prepare yourself for beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the water – easily enjoyed from the substantial outdoor deck overlooking the lake. Every morning, I disturbed a giant blue heron, and a few non-lethal snakes as I made my way down to the floating dock at the water’s edge. The WiFi is solid, so we could work or WhatApp our friends. The sauna and pool table were well used. The place was clean. And we were well informed, before and during our stay. If you like big screens for movies, the basement has a wonderful home theatre. The mosquitoes can be a problem in June – so bring bug netting if you want to go for long walks through the forested lands surrounding the cottage. Highly recommend. Would definitely return – summer or winter.

Ideal Spot for a Cottage Getaway!
We had such an amazing time at Mark’s cottage! His property had everything you could possibly need to enjoy our time in the woods. The amenities were top notch with access to a sauna, hot tub (which we enjoyed every night!), a fleet of boats, a fire pit, a projector, a bar, and plenty of spots to hang out inside and out. It was equipped with everything we would need indoor as well. It was impeccably clean and had many luxurious features. Mark was very prompt with communication and ensured we had a comfortable stay. We would absolutely return to stay again! Amazing spot for a great price!

Amazing getaway at truly stunning cottage
My wife and I had a wonderful time at Cichon Cottage for a much needed getaway! We loved the remoteness of it! The cottage itself is spectacular! The outside is beautifully landscaped and designed. And the inside is something else! It’s well laid out and all the extra amenities (hot tub, sauna, pool table, etc…) make it that more awesome. We really liked the zoned stereo/speaker system. I connected my phone to the receiver and I was able to play my music inside and outside on the deck. No need to bring a Bluetooth speaker. We enjoyed relaxing on the deck watching the blue jays fly in and grab peanuts off the rail, seeing the belted kingfishers diving into the water. One morning we woke up and saw a beautiful blue heron strolling along the beach looking for a snack to nosh on. And who doesn’t love hearing the loon call? We also, enjoyed taking the boat out fishing. We caught a few small mouth bass, the biggest being 2 ¼ lbs. Having a camp fire at night, enjoying a beverage and gazing up at the sky to see so many stars was stunning. We also, enjoyed spending time with some friends who joined us for a few days. Good times! The host Mark was a pleasure to deal with. He was easy to communicate with and answered any questions or concerns we had. We will definitely consider renting again in the future and will recommend your cottage to our friends. Thank you Mark & Cheryl for sharing your beautiful cottage with us! We really enjoyed our stay. Cheers, Steve & Jen Moses

Great getaway
We enjoyed a week at this quiet escape at the end of the summer. The cottage is beautiful and was well-equipped for our group of 8 (4 adults, 4 kids). The beach area was great for the kids to play in the water and there was ample shade by the lake - especially in the waterfront hammock. We will definitely consider this cottage for another getaway!

Great Escape
Our family had the most relaxing time together during our week stay. The lakefront property and cottage are beautiful by design and well maintained. This home has features that impressed all ages! Our grandson loved the walk in sandy beach and spent hours ‘on blue’ mat, in peddle boat and digging sand. We enjoyed the remote quiet lake complete with Kayaks and fishing boat. The rest of us enjoyed the spa like amenities of hot tub and sauna. A definite 10/10 from our family of 6 adults, 1 toddler and one newborn. The comfy Couch was also an honourable mention. Marks responsive communication was appreciated. Seamless process from booking to departure.

WONDERFUL STAY
We were six adults and two small children and we had an amazing week at Mark and Cheryl’s cottage. The pictures do it justice. The cottage is clean, very roomy and had all the amenities needed. The lake is very quiet and the grounds are perfect for a family with small children. Mark was quick to respond to all of our questions. We would definitely consider returning and recommending this property. Thank you Mark for being a great host.

Extra Long Weekend
Our 2 families enjoyed an extra long weekend in June at the Cichon cottage. Booking and pre-visit emails were sent in a timely fashion with adequate details and Mark answered our questions via phone at check in. Cottage was clean and spacious for our party of 4 adults and 5 children. So many amenities that kept the teenagers busy. Dock and lake views were tranquil and peaceful. An amazing weekend of fun memories! Only complaint was the mosquito bites.
