| This cottage was absolutely beautiful! It has picture perfect sights of the lake and the perfect place to swim (which I couldn't resist despite the chilly weather). The owners leave a lot to do and it was clean and welcoming. I am already planning a return trip for next year, everyone had a blast!

| Absolutely beautiful cottage. We stayed over the weekend in the winter and had an amazing time. It was very warm and cozy especially with the fireplace going in the beautiful sunny main living area. There is easy access to the lake for skating and trails for walking, and so much to do if you would rather stay inside we had a lot of fun playing pool and foosball and using the sauna. I was also surprised by how stocked the cottage was with essentials and extras! It is clear that the owners put a lot of love and care into this rental and we would be delighted to come back next year.

| This was a charming cottage with lots to both inside and outside. 10 of us stayed for the August long weekend and had a wonderful time. The location was perfect, and the cottage had everything you'd need. It was peaceful with beautiful views! Loved the kayaks, canoes, all the outdoor activities and oh the Zen deck!
The communication with Natasha was smooth and prompt, making the booking process hassle-free. They accommodated all our needs.
Like other reviews mentioned, it was very buggy given that it's surrounded by nature and far from the main roads. Bug repellent is a must.
Thank you for having us!

Owner response: Hello Rathini, Thanks for your review - we were happy to host you and your group and glad you had a wonderful time! | |

| Most amazing stay! So much to do rain or shine. Great friendly surroundings for our entire family to include 3 dogs! Cottage was beautiful my favourite spot was the sun / screen room actually we couldn't get enough of every room lol the zip line was sooo much fun for us all and I'm 50ish!! The Zen dock was beautiful ALL outside spaces were beautiful and amazing inside was fun and the games kept us entertained (pool table Pac-Man etc)
Can't say enough, we would love to return to this cottage again and again and we will :) <3

| Amazing cottage, Did a guys fishing trip in May here. Owner's were a pleasure to deal with. Even when we made some last minute changes. No shortage of entertainment at this cottage inside and out. We were there 6 days and didn't get to everything available. The park pass to Algonquin was a huge bonus as we made 3 excursions into the park while we were there. Very private and large secluded lot. So many different areas to lounge and enjoy. Very clean and very well equipped with everything you might need. Can't say enough good things about this place. Looking forward to a return trip.
Stayed: May 2024

Owner response: Hello Troy! It makes us so happy to hear that you enjoyed our place so well and made good use of the Algonquin Park pass. We're looking forward to welcoming you back to experience the cottage and area in full Fall glory! thanks for being wonderful guests Natasha & George | |
