Home away from home for Christmas
We wanted a relaxed place for a few days away. This cottage ticked all the boxes. Easy access, spottless, fully equipped kitchen with a gas bbq steps out the door, comfortable beds, and a great view. The driveway, path and steps were cleared of snow before we went out for the day. We took a quick drive to the Wye Marsh for a walk through the snow.We were there before for kayaking in the bay, and will certainly return. Nicole and Mike are super hosts!

Great little get away
This little cottage is a great little get away for 2-4 people. The place was immaculate and well equipped. The view of Tay Bay was memorizing & meditative. With bedroom walls that don't quite go to the ceiling, your house mates must be well acquainted & accustomed to sharing space. Overall, a great little respite stay!

Great place to stay
We spent three nights in the cabin. The cabin very clean and had everything we needed. The view of the lake is amazing, and it was quiet and peaceful. The check in/check out went smooth. We would recommend this place to anyone.
