Amazing Experience with a Very Flexible Host
We had a fantastic time at the cottage! John was incredibly kind and very flexible with both check-in and check-out, which made our trip so much easier to enjoy. The cottage was warm and cozy, even though we visited in mid-April when the weather can still be chilly.The beds were super comfortable, and everything in the home made us feel relaxed and welcomed. You can tell how much care John and Ann Marie have put into making this a perfect getaway spot. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful escape. We’d definitely love to return!

Our Christmas vacation
Even though all our Christmas plans were eventually interrupted by a sudden and unexpected illness that hit our entire family, we were not disappointed. John, the owner, was very understanding and considerate of our situation. He offered us not cancel our visit , but to postpone it to a later date. We were glad to have this additional opportunity to enjoy the stay in this cottage and not to miss out on such an experience. We wish to thank John for this offer and are looking forward to doing business with him in the future.

Chandos Lake
We had an excellent time at the cottage. Very spacious for 2 families with teens. Loved the kitchen; fully equipped to make large meals. Property is beautiful, the surrounding were quiet and quaint. The large windows looking out onto the lake were perfect for morning breakfasts and afternoon lounging on the couch. Serene and peaceful. Highly recommend this cottage.

Awesome Stay at Tranquility
From the first response and email John called me right away to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay. John was a great host available at anytime by phone. That being said, we only had to call once. Everything was PERFECT! The cottage was the perfect escape for the kids. They have everything in the cottage you will ever need and more. The views are spectacular over the water and from balcony of the cottage. Beds were so comfortable it was like sleeping at home. I really can't say enough about our stay as we had a blast. We only stayed 4 days, so by the time it started feeling familiar, we had to start packing, Would love to come stay here again! Thanks John for all your hospitality and letting us stay at your beautiful home. Also, congratulations on winning Game 7..lol I was informed to keep the your chair out our pictures..lol
Thanks
Lloyd
