100 stars!
Adorable and very clean. The pictures don’t do it justice. Wish it had been warmer so we could have enjoyed the firepit, it looked amazing. We had a little hiccup getting in (totally our fault) and we got an INSTANT response and it was almost midnight. The host and property was A in every way.

Tranquil getaway
It was very peaceful & quiet there - we come up here snowmobiling around Drummond Island, so this is isn’t too far from there - loved the northern atmosphere within the cabin decor! Will come back!

Cozy cottage feel
Very clean, everything you ever want out of a cozy cottage stay! Teenager loved the loft, 8 year old loves the nook under the stairs! We couldn’t have asked for a better place….
