For kids, our little ones have agreed to share their toys as guests can use the lego table, arts and crafts table, doll house and a well stocked library of favourites. One of our favourite kid approved activities is gazing at the sky filled stars on a clear Summer's night by the fire pit at the top of the property. Our water trampoline is a big hit with the young ones and the young at heart. Jump right into the weed free waters of Little K.

The Bear Cave Cottage on Little Kennisis Lake - Review
We had a great snowy getaway. The cottage and the lake were so peaceful and calm. Just what we needed to unwind before the holidays. Inside had everything we needed from cooking utensils to pots/pans and we were able to try out a local restaurants. The host was very welcoming and answered all of our questions.

Relaxing Getaway
Our group loved our little getaway at Kevin’s cottage. The views of the lake was stunning from the deck, and pretty much every room from the house. We loved cozying up by the fireplace and playing board games. Kids LOVED watching movies in the home theatre. We enjoyed the grounds and took a walk down to the water, which was every peaceful. We would definitely want to experience the cottage in the winter when there is snow and hit the ski hill nearby and try snowshoeing and skiing on the lake. Kevin was a great host, always available and quick to answer our questions. He made it very much a stress free stay. Thanks for having us!

Awesome cottage and great host
Our family had a great time at the cottage. The views of the lake were spectacular and the area was extremely quiet and peaceful. Best of all, the cottage itself was very spacious and clean with a well stocked kitchen. Our kids especially loved the projector to watch movies on the big wall. Kevin was a great host and we will definitely stay again in the warmer months!
