| We spent a beautiful week at this cottage, enjoying the gorgeous view, playing on the beach, and taking walks in the incomparable fall foliage. I can't imagine a better location for our extended family stay, and would recommend this heartily to anyone.
We enjoyed the kayaks, canoe, and paddleboards, and spent hours playing games around the kitchen table. The pre-teens were happy to enjoy the Roku, and the WiFi was excellent for working remotely.
Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

| Very nice place with a beautiful view of the lake. The cottage was clean and very well kept. We were a group of 11 people and there was lots of room for everyone. Corey and Kevin were great to deal with. very responsive to any questions we had. Would stay here again

| This is a wonderful place to create cherished memories with your loved ones. The pictures here don't do justice to how gorgeous the cottage is in real life. The cottage was clean and tidy when we arrived and the owners were wonderful about providing all the information we needed during our stay. The cottage has a wonderful layout, there's plenty of space around the dinner table when you want everyone together but also plenty of space for people to go off and do their own thing without stepping on anyone's toes. The kitchen is fully equipped and between it and the massive Weber BBQ outside, we had everything we needed to cook some really wonderful meals during our stay. The WiFi was great and I had no issues working remotely during our stay. There's a Roku TV with Bell satellite although that was rarely used as the view of the lake was more impressive anyway. We were initially worried about the neighbouring marina but that turned out to be a value add as we were able to walk over and rent a boat for a couple of days - they even let us use their fish cleaning hut to clean the fish we caught during our stay. Speaking of which, there's plenty of fish in Big Gull Lake - during our stay we caught 3 walleye (large enough to keep and eat), several smallmouth bass, and a pike right off the dock! Overall this was one of the best cottage rental experiences we've had and we'll certainly be back. Thank you Corey and Kevin for having us!

| There aren't enough words to describe how perfect this cottage is. Ten people from 2-62 had the best week ever. There was something for everyone. Accommodations were perfect. Owners were excellent to work with. We will definitely return!
