Perfect spot for family get together
Our family (2 daughters, 3 grandsons 8-23) had a super week on Varty Lake. The Cottage is very comfortable and the two rooms were good for young & older. Kitchen well equipped. Lots of supplies, towels etc. Having the canoe, kayak, paddleboat, two paddle boards was amazing and all were used and enjoyed. Biking along the roads & Cataraqui trail was great. Swimming was good. Games room was enjoyed by the younger boys/young men. Mo was excellent in communicating with us, before and during our stay. Thank you!

3 day stay for nine
While the property listing was relatively accurate, there were other issues worth noting: quality of water to swim was not comfortable as it was very shallow with reeds and mucky bottom; back deck is need of some repair with small hole in floor and loose trip at top of stairs that is a safety hazard; garbage management for a group our size was challenging given the lack of large containers. Kitchen was well stocked and good size. Lots of games and water toys available to use. Cabin was clean and spacious. Owner was easy to contact and very responsive. We would recommend that there be 3 double beds instead of 2 plus a fold out couch be available for group our size.

Great house, lake is shallow & weedy
Had a small family reunion with 7 adults and 1 older teenager. We really enjoyed the house and the grounds. No beach front at the property and the lake is very weedy and shallow, but the fishing off the dock was fun and the water craft options at the house were great, with the exception of some missing paddle parts. There is a little swimming area just a few minutes drive away. The games garage was fun and enjoyed ourselves playing darts and pool. The kitchen appliances and tools were really good and we found that we brought things that we didn’t actually need. The only thing we weren’t keen on is that the floors seemed dirtier than we would have liked and the mop head was dirty so we couldn’t clean it ourselves. The supplied dishwasher pods and laundry pods was enough for our 4 day stay, but we ran out of paper towels and compost bags. Otherwise we enjoyed seeing the lake from the deck and the chipmunks & loons. Would recommend this house as it met all of our needs.
