Long weekend getaway

We had a great time as a family at this cottage. The lake was clear & perfect for swimming & kayaking. Unfortunately no luck in the fishing department this time. So many fun water toys available in the boat garage! The indoor hot tub was a great option for when the weather wasn’t ideal. There was so many great lakeside spots on the multi level deck to enjoy. Also having a dishwasher & laundry facilities made our stay very convenient. Any small family would have a great time bonding at this beautiful corner of David lake.

Winter Wonderland

Beautiful property and cottage, winter wonderland. Very helpful host. Nice hot tub but needed to treat it. Beds were not comfortable, broken. Should state to bring wood. Dirty floors and pet hair. Septic tank needed treatment as well.
