NOTES In summer high season, rentals are from Friday to Friday with a minimum of one week stay. REVIEWS | | Dave |  |
| Thank you, Hugh and Paula for your wonderful accommodations. I have read many of the previous reviews and echo all of their sentiments. We were six adults, all family, and enjoyed the tastefully decorated bedrooms, their views, and the privacy of each. The living areas were large and very comfortable. Although the dining room is huge, we opted for the beautiful outdoor eating table on the deck overlooking the water. The decor is beyond tasteful: homey and yet decorated comfortably and beautiful. The home is in a perfect location with minutes access to Westport and Perth, both beautiful little towns. The kitchen was very well stocked, we weren't missing anything at We will be back!

| Paula and Hugh are very hospitable and friendly hosts, and they made our week-long stay at the Bedford Lake House very memorable. The layout of the cottage provides separate areas for gathering within our group. The separate dining room with a door at one end of the cottage and the bedrooms on the opposite ends offer good privacy. The kitchen is well-stocked, and there is reverse osmosis drinking water, which is a rare find in cottages. The colorful and amazing sunset viewed from the living room as mesmerizing and unforgettable. The cottage is very clean, bright, and airy. I particularly liked the repurposed coffee tables made from antique doors. We came during a cooler season, but we still enjoyed some water activities with the canoe, kayaks and paddle boat. The water is calm around the bay, making it safe to kayak with the younger kids.
Thank you, Paula and Hugh, for sharing your cottage with us. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Carol

| If you want a Room with a View, this is your place.
In the mood to stretch your legs Go snowshoeing. The ice was thick on the lake on my February weekend, and I could cross from shore to shore. Toronto sucks you in. This beautiful home was a great way to refresh the senses.

| It was a wonderful, relaxing stay with spectacular views of Devil Lake from many vantage points both inside and outside. The house has plenty of natural light, modern design, a well equipped kitchen with lots of space to chit chat while cooking. Clean and great linens, large bedrooms each with a wonderful view. Eating inside or outside or relaxing on the dock, the place works so well especially for larger groups, to have time together or some solo time. Hugh's vegetable garden is great and Paula's flowers on the counter is most appreciated. Loved the skylight in the shower area. Many special touches to make your stay even better than you expected. Thanks!

| The Bedford Lake House is a touchstone work, inside and out.
The bedrooms were all well lit, beautifully decorated, each with its own exit. Three bedrooms each had a small private porch and a gorgeous lake view and the 4th had a view of a small lawn and a marsh.
The shared common room had a stunning view of the lake which was hard to tear ourselves away from. The kitchen was immaculate and well-equipped; it was designed in such that no one would be isolated from the fun, even if doing dinner prep. The outdoor spaces were equally attractive and well-equipped, with marvellous views from the deck and BBQ to suit any occasion.
Our little gang loves kayaking and this property is in the knock-it-out-of-the-park category in this regard. Devil Lake is among the cleanest lakes you might see and is large enough that a kayaker would never run out of things to explore. Early morning and evening swimming off the dock was also a refreshing joy.
Hugh and Paula also invited us to enjoy the fruits of their labour as they have a marvelous garden full of tomatoes, strawberries, beans, chili, eggplant, squash, etc. It was a pleasure to go out each morning to see what nature's bounty had to offer.
The property complemented its natural surroundings so well, rather than imposing upon them. For this, we complement Hugh and Paula not only for being the best of hosts but also for their high standard of stewardship. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us.
