This is a very nice, traditional Ontario family cottage. Comfortable and unpretentious. Fairly private from the neighbours. The lake was relatively quiet most of the time. The kitchen is well equipped - the coffee maker and well supplied Kurig machine were much appreciated. It was clean throughout, except for the ceiling fans. The small beach was good for toddlers while the rest of had a blast swimming off the dock and the swim raft. Had fun fishing off the dock. Older folks may find the walk up from the lake a bit steep. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only downside was that the water is not drinkable and was not noted in the online listing. Fortunately bottled water was provided which was very important given the hot dry weather and our active group.

Stay on Dickey Lake

This is a lovely cottage. We were there for the 2nd year. I mainly want a cottage to swim but there are lots of water toys provided. We used them all! This year, on arrival, I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the property. When I contacted the host she immediately refunded my cleaning deposit and was very apologetic. Cleaner issues apparently. I was totally satisfied with her response. I will stay there again.

Great getaway

I stayed here for a week in July with my husband and parents. A lovely spot. The swimming was fabulous, and we loved paddling around the lake with the kayaks and paddleboard (there is also a pedal boat). The kitchen had everything we needed. The owner was easy to communicate with. A wonderful experience!

Great cottage!

Me, my siblings and friends had a great stay in this cottage for 4 nights and definitely had a blast. The cottage has all the equipments you need for a comfortable stay. They also provided firewoods for bonfires right beside the lake. Also, the lake has very clean water good for both swimming and fishing. Extra ameneties like paddle boat, kayaks, stand up board and water vests. The location is great for a quiet getaway and also provides great privacy.

Great cottage and lake

Beautiful cottage very well supplied. Swimming was perfect, the neighbors were friendly but not intrusive. We made full use of the kayaks, paddle boat, lily pad and SUP. Lots of fun. We had a few rainy days and played games that were supplied. Also nice to have a smart TV so we watched a bit of Netflix etc. Beds seemed new and were very comfortable. I need a hip replacement and was thankful I brought a walking stick to get up and down from the lake. We had a few fires in the fire pit and good wood was supplied. Wonderful! Drinking water was also supplied which was unexpected. The perfect cottage experience for my friends and family.

Place to Relax

We had an enjoyable stay at the cottage. The place was clean and well stocked with all the cooking essentials. We made good use of the paddle board and kayaks. The place was surprisingly quiet for a cottage lake. It was great to sit back and read a book down at the dock or chill out on the patio. Excellent fishing right off the dock. Thanks Gilda for a wonderful time!

Great weekend getaway

The perfect cottage experience! Booked this cottage for a weekend with some girlfriends and it made the perfect setting for a relaxing, fun time! The cottage is cozy and tidy with a stunning back yard view & path to the lake from the porch. We loved having coffee and looking out on the water every morning! The host had provided kayaks and paddle boat which my friends and I loved! The lake is gorgeous and clear, perfect for swimming! There are neighbours close by but the properties are separated with tree lines that provide a nice sense of some privacy. Host shared helpful info prior to the visit, and checking in/out was very easy. Overall it was a great weekend and I would happily book a stay here again!
