| This place was a gorgeous, fantastic cottage, great backyard that leads right onto a sandy beach and shallow water. All of The linens were supplied and very clean. BBQ and propane were supplied as well all of the firewood needed for the fire pit at night. There were also more than enough water toys for our group of 8 to enjoy through out the entire stay. Would definitely rent this cottage again as well as recommend it to friends and family. Also met one of the neighbours and he was very friendly!

| Thanks for the amazing stay! Our friends finally had to get out of the house when the social distancing restrictions lifted...and this is exactly what we needed. The cottage is VERY clean, cozy and welcoming. The paddle boards and kayaks were SO much fun. If this cottage wasn't booked for the rest of the summer, we would be going again for sure! Thanks again!!!

| Thank You Eileen for the use of your beautiful cottage. The lake setting is immaculate, and the cottage provided a beautiful home for a week, far too short by the way! First time experiences for our young grandchildren, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, evenings by the fire, created memories never to be forgotten. Equally so for the adults. With 6 adults and 4 grandchildren, we had lots of room and the comment was made several times "they have thought of everything here". On top of that, 6 days of beautiful weather and the peaceful serenity of the lake. Thank you again, and we most definitely will be visiting in the future.

| We booked Gunter Lake Cottage for our extended family summer vacation. We needed lots of room and this cottage worked perfectly. With 9 kids/young adults in our group this cottage had lots for us to do inside and out. Water activities where everyone had something to do from swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking. Fishing was great! We had some rainy weather but that didn't stop the fun indoors, TV, board games and a wi bowling tournament! This cottage is stocked with everything you need and more. Thanks for a great week!!

| Our family of 6 adults and 4 children stayed for a week here. Fabulous time. The kitchen is fully equipped. Having 2 fridges was so good. The beds were comfortable. There was so much for the children to do inside- even played Mario. The screen-in porch allowed us to sit outside in the evening, playing darts, or just chatting/reading. There is a large library of books to choose from during the stay.
Swimming excellent, there is a raft, and kayaks and paddleboards. Everyone loved the paddleboards. We spent a lot of time in the water and at the beach.
This property is well cared for. A cleaning team was included in the price so we didn't have to worry about extra work the day we left. The owner was super helpful and communications were very good.
I would highly recommend this cottage.
