| Cottage was very clean with lots of room upstairs and down. The cottage decor and fireplace made it a very cozy setting. Loved the open concept kitchen, dining room and living room. Able to interact with everyone. Lots of water toys to try out and great beach area for kids. Lake was crystal clear and beautiful. So peaceful paddling on the lake in the kayaks. Nights were spent sitting by the fire enjoying a beverage and roasting marshmellows. Could hear the call of the loons off in the distance. The highlight of the weekend was sitting on the dock under the amazing night sky. It was stunning. So many stars and the milky way was so vivid. Eileen provided lots of detailed information and very helpful. Was a great experience and highly recommend if looking for a family cottage getaway. Will definately be going back next summer!

| Was very nice to walk in and have roasting sticks and marshmallows welcoming us on the dinning room table. The kids really had fun roasting the marshmallows around the fire at night. Eileen responded immediately to any questions I texted her about before going and while I was at the cottage. There are no oars for the aluminum boat but there are paddles you can use. Fishing was good even right off the dock where my husband caught a 4 lb bass. Great swimming for the younger kids as water doesn't get deep quickly. My family and I really enjoyed our week stay.

Owner response: Thanks Mike - glad you had fun! | |

| We liked the openness of the main floor Kitchen, dining, living area; the view of the lake; the deck; the dock. Kitchen was well appointed. The two fridges. Easy drive for 3 hours away from Etobicoke. Well equipped for outdoor and lake fun, if we were into that. Lots of sitting areas outside. We didn't use them but a working fireplace and firepit are good extras. And I like that we did not have to bring our own linens.
Disappointments ? About a dozen leaks in the screened in porch area so we could not use it as it rained every day. We rented this cottage for the screened in porch so that was a big disappointment.
General upkeep lacking including unclean bathroom, broken window in bathroom, no handle on screen door, walls need to be painted in and furniture cleaned. The outside decking needs to be tinted or painted. The floating dock was really damaged.
It is too bad there is no bathroom upstairs but we made do. Not a deal breaker and the second toilet/sink helps.
3.5/5

Owner response: Thanks for your review. to address your concerns... we are aware that the screen porch does leak in heavy rain in about 5 or 6 spots but unfortunately with covid it could not be repaired this year. We have scheduled the repair for next spring and are crossing our fingers that covid doesn't thwart us again! As for the bathroom handle, one of our guests broke it and didn't tell us. When our cleaner noticed it, we ordered the replacement part. The screen handle was also broken by guests but our cleaner assured us that the screen door was still able to open and close easily. We will be replacing the barrels on floating dock next year - even though it wasn't level - it is still very usable and guests before and after you made use of it. I'm glad you liked the kitchen and inside living areas. I wish you had better weather for your getaway but hope that you were able to enjoy some family time away from the craziness of the city! | |
