Excellent communication from our host and a lovely property to stay at. We were able to enjoy the most of our stay in the area relaxing at the cottage. Well prepared before our arrival and could tell it's looked after with care by Deborah. Would certainly stay here again.

The quaint place was just as described. Very well kept with nice appointments. The location was perfect for us. It has a beautiful view of the lake across the road. The weather wasn’t conducive to try the hot tub. Next time! Deborah was the PERFECT host. She answered all communications in a timely matter. And, meeting her was a pleasure. I would highly recommend.

The host provided welcome treats for us and a toy for our dog. We felt very welcome. We had all the supplies we would ever need as well as robes for using the spa. The spa was warm and ready for us, no warm up time needed which normally can take many hours. Temperature controls worked great.
