Very nicely decorated spacious luxurious accommodations. Very well furnished. In late August the lake was quite weedy fairly far out. There was also a rat in the main floor bathroom, though it kept mostly to itself.

Beautiful getaway property!

This cottage was so cozy and comfortable. It's nice to have the extra bathroom and the beds were very comfortable. The fireplace pilot had gone out but a quick call to the owners who talked us through relighting it and we were enjoying the fire. Great place to get away from the city lights!

Water dream

We loved our 4 night stay at Jens simple yet perfect cottage. The proximity to the water was the highlight - feeling like we were in a houseboat on the lake. It was charming and just perfect. Had to be mindful of the weeds but once you got the hang of it, it wasn't a huge deal. The Loons and wildlife were amazing and the sunsets spectacular.

Jen's cottage was great and a perfect size for our family of 5 adults. The kitchen was very well stocked. The communication with Jen was fantastic, always very prompt to respond. The neighbours are very close. Everyone was friendly, including a small dog that came to visit us often. I would definitely recommend this as a lovely getaway.

We had an excellent time during our stay, with beautiful views on the lake and the coziest fireplace. Lots of warm lights throughout the cottage, games, and a well-equipped kitchen made the weekend easy to enjoy. But we were most impressed by the consideration and graciousness of our host. Jen was responsive, thoughtful, and thorough. We greatly appreciated it!

Fantastic, flexibile, and friendly!

We had to postpone our trip due to a COVID case, and the owner was extremely helpful and flexible with helping us get rebooked. We also had some questions throughout the stay and communication was always prompt and friendly. The itself property was very clean, cozy, and well heated (we went in November). A wonderful location, tucked away on a quiet lake but only about 10 minutes away from all the essentials (key because the water cannot be consumed). Would strongly recommend for any time of the year!
