We would definitely stay again. My biggest complaint is that we didn't stay longer LOL. Communication with the host was overall pretty good. But we weren't able to fill out the form for the kayaks/paddle boards prior to our trip (coming from 3x different provinces). There was no form left for us, as noted... but we managed to get it printed (in the office of the house), signed it and sent it off to them to get the code. Unfortunately, we didn't get a response with the access code (a digital form would be helpful in this aspect). Overall, a great place to stay & we wish that we would have booked a longer visit there.

Lovely cottage on the lake

This is a lovely cottage on a lake - lots of space outside to enjoy the view and the water. The rooms were comfortable and well furnished. We love the Bruce Peninsula and this was the perfect location to explore the area. There are trails accessible from the end of the road or a short drive away in the parks. The lake is clean and a great for paddling and swimming. Highly recommend this cottage and hope to return.

During my stay, I really enjoyed the homey feel this cottage had to it. Very homey yet modern and well maintained. We also really enjoyed the amenities. It was one of the best stay’s so far. There is enough parking for everyone, the house was very clean with not a single insect in sight and every corner was cleaned to perfection. The place was equipped with everything you could think of and more. Overall, a very enjoyable and peaceful experience. Totally recommend!

Great place to stay

My family of 7 had an incredible time at this property. From the second we walked in we knew we were at a great place. The host left some gifts of local coffee, honey, and chocolates. The house was spacious and clean. The lake which was 15 feet from the house was a great place to relax, kayak, and swim. Just a really great property to stay at.
