Pigeon lake is known to be weedy, some seasons are worse than others, and the amount of weeds on the shoreline is often related to weather and water currents. At extra weedy times, we recommend bringing a floatie and heading out past the weeds to take a dip. This area of the lake traditionally has warm waters in the summer season.
This is cottage country, expect a rustic relaxing experience enjoying the outdoors and come prepare for inclement weather, insects and wildlife. Guest access Minutes away…

Not Rustic. Old and Run Down
We were less then impressed with the property. It did not meet our expectations bases on the ad. They had a scentsy thing going which made me very very sick. When I addressed this with the host she basically blamed me for not informing her of my scent allergy. There were some bugs inside the property. The roof started leeking from a pot light. When I informed her she claims it had never happened before. But we could see bubbling in the ceiling that says otherwise. The was very poor water pressure and the tub was backing up with grey water. She did agree to allow us to leave early and is refunding the last 2 nights which we did. It was not the wonderful experience we had hoped for.

Girls weekend
I stayed with 2 girlfriends for the weekend. The cottage was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Check in was seamless. We didn't go swimming but enjoyed hanging out by the water. There were a few tree roots to watch out for when walking down to the lake. View from cottage was great! Would book again.

A perfect getaway
We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay. The cottage was immaculate and cozy. My favourite part was looking out the large beautiful window at the lake and a variety of birds. So peaceful. Highly recommend and will return.

Perfect cozy cabin
It was exactly what we were looking for for a quick break from the city, would recommend for a small family looking for the the basics, clean and cozy. Great host. We'll be looking to come back in another season and enjoy the lake.

Fanily Get-together
We stayed at this property in January to celebrate my Dad's 70th birthday in a location central to the family. It was warm (not a guarantee for a cottage in January), fairly clean, and had more supplies/amenities than I was expecting. didn't speak with the property
