The property is in a beautiful location, peaceful, but the Neighbours are not happy to see different people going for a walking. They may following you asking what are looking for it. Very weird.
The house is spacious and has plenty of room. It’s old and need some updates. The washrooms and floors should be better cleaned.
Hot tub was clean and warm, it was very nice to relax. Pool table was fun to play as well.
Overall it was a great stay.

Weekend stay
We were at this location for 2 nights/3 days.
The location and property is pretty good - hot tub was a good experience. Nice backyard with fire pit. Good board games and movie dvds.
Cleanliness was an issue, we had to vacuum and clean the place for the 1st hour we were there. Oven had a greasy plate, half washed cutlery in the dishwasher, outside lights weren’t working. We informed the owner about the cleanliness issue and never heard back from
him for the entire stay to check in or give an update on why things were not clean for our stay. Propane grill was not working either but we were notified in advance that propane is changed once a month and they don’t guarantee it.
Overall good property, come for the hot tub and a relaxing night by the fire pit with friends. Won’t recommend for families.

Incredible views and peaceful location
We enjoyed a few days in this charming house, the views from the deck were stunning and the outdoor space and sports/games equipment were great for the kids. The kitchen was basic but functional, it is an older house but great for what we were looking for. There are two fantastic bedrooms upstairs with views, but the other two are in the basement, one with a tiny window and one with no window at all. We put the kids downstairs but if you were all adult couples, that may cause a heated conversation over who gets a view! Overall a good experience.

Great view
Great spot, lots of land for outdoor activities, nice view of the lake, 2.5 baths helps with 6+ adults.
Some issues due to the violent storm that passed through, Tele helped where he could but we still had to leave a day early. . Place is stocked with essentials only. Bring a wine opener :) coffee makers use K-cups. There is Parking for many cars.
It’s a nice location, close to Cobourg should you need to go into town for anything everything is in that city.

Super cozy with a spectacular view.
As advertised, but much much more. The pictures really don't do this place justice. The view is even more phenomenal in person. It's like looking at a picture.
Pros:
- The view from inside/outside, in the hot tub. You can easily spend hours staring at nature from the huge window in the living room
- It was super cozy. These are some of the best beds I have ever slept on in a hotel / bnb
- There was plenty of room
- The place was well equipped and well stocked
- Tele was an amazing host. Super nice and definitely went above and beyond to make our stay amazing
Cons: I honestly don't have any. Keep in mind this is a house, not a hotel. It is the perfect getaway for a group of mature friends from city life, and only an hour and a half from the city. I would love to stay again. It would be cool to check this place out in different seasons.

Cozy Cottage Perfect for Cold Days
My family and I had a great time at this cottage - fireplace on both floors to create such a cozy stay. We had it turned on while watching movies. Place was very clean and host was quick to respond to any questions we had.
