This place was amazing. Spacious, comfy beds, stocked kitchen. Best part was the dock! The water is crystal clear. Lots of space to play games outside. The host was very accomodating and friendly. Will definately come back. One thing is bring ice and other items as the closest store is about 20 min away.

It is a beautiful property, with plenty of room for all of the family. We were a group of 6 adults, one toddler and two dogs, room for all to gather and have their own space when desired. Forest was great communicating with us, and all is as it shows in the pictures. Lots of outdoor seating both on the deck and another deck on the lake, perfect for relaxing. We were there for 7 nights, and enjoyed all it had to offer. Don't hesitate on this one!

Our stay at Bob's Lake from Aug 1 to 8 was fantastic from beginning to end. The property was exceptional with beautiful green space, a small beach and of course a wonderful lake. Our family enjoyed swimming, kayaking, and canoeing every day. A thrill for our grand-daughters was catch and release fishing right off the dock. There was plenty of space to enjoy being together as well as space for solitude.The interior was quite spacious with the four bedrooms (and a loft) and four bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and the best coffee maker! (a favorite for the adults) . It was lovely to eat inside with a beautiful view of the lake or outside on the well equipped patio. We will enjoy returning to this Bob's Lake Paradise again.

Annual Cottage with the Family

This is our second time staying at this location and once again was an exceptional stay. The host has even installed a generac for power back up since the last time, which came in extremely useful as we had a storm that knocked out power halfway through our stay, but having this allowed us to continue our stay. Otherwise, we would have had to leave as power was out for the rest of the duration. The host is very good at responding to any questions you may have and the location is great. We will definitely look at going again.

Memorable stay for big groups

Had a wonderful stay at Bobs lake paradise. The host was warm and very responsive. The cabin is gorgeous, spacious, well outfitted and very clean. The lake is also beautiful and swimable ( though it was too cold in April). We had a small issue with the plumbing which the host responded to very quickly.The reason for the overall 4 star rating is that the cabin doesn't have any hiking trails around it. And the nearest town is 20 mins away. If those things are not important to you, this cabin would be a 5 star experience.

Amazing Time!

Our family (5 adults, 3 kids and a dog) rented the cottage for New Years Eve! It was amazing! Easy to get to, and had everything we possibly could need! Forest had amazing communication with us and readily available if needed. Our hope is to be able to go back in the summer time.Thank you Forest for renting us your beautiful property! Would highly recommend!

Bob’s Lake

Nice location and lovely views. The cottage was spacious and large enough to accommodate our family of seven. Disappointed in the lack of basic cooking utensils which caused me to have to quickly change cooking plans for Thanksgiving. Cottage could use a deep clean with particular attention paid to black mould around kitchen sink and master shower.

Reunion with Friends

This property offered the ideal location for our group of couples to gather. Spacious both indoors and out, it allowed for many moments of group laughter and games, sharing of intimate conversations or quiet moments alone. The lovely view and multiple amenities contributed to our enjoyment. We were able to easily launch our kayaks and canoe from the waterfront, had a campfire one night under a very starry sky, took advantage of the large lawn for a game of Bocce ball and were delighted by the birdlife. Thank you Forest for being such a courteous and responsive host and for sharing your property. We certainly have many new special memories!

Clean, spacious, quiet oasis on a fantastic lake!

My friends and I had an unforgettable three-night stay at Bob's Lake, and our only regret was not booking a longer stay! The cottage was immaculate, incredibly spacious, and offered stunning views of the lake from the cathedral-style living room with its floor-to-ceiling windows. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, and the en-suite bathrooms in each bedroom were a luxury we greatly appreciated. The property is expansive, beautifully maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a perfect getaway. We made the most of the large dock, kayaks, pedal boat, and lawn games. The ample outdoor seating on the deck was ideal for our large group to relax and socialize. The lake itself was pristine and perfect for swimming, with no seaweed to worry about. We accessed it through a small sandy beach, which made it easy to enjoy the water. Although there is a cottage next door, the activity on the lake was minimal, and it felt much more secluded compared to other areas we have stayed. Everyone in our group agreed that this was one of our best cottage experiences ever, and we’re already planning our return next year. A big thank you to Forest for the warm hospitality and the thoughtful welcome bottle of wine!

Great Family Vacation

9 adults, one grandson, and two dogs all had a great time. It's so hard to find a nice cottage that can handle all of us, especially the dogs, but this one certainly did. The views of Bob's lake from the dock are amazing and the sandy beach and protected bay is perfect for swimming and paddle boarding.

Bob's Lake Paradise a True Paradise

We were completely impressed with the property and the location of the cottage. We have gone to few other locations and this one by far was the best with the cottage itself and the lake. We would spend every day on the dock and enjoy the lake as access was great since you had a sandy entrance with little amount of weeds. Would definitely consider staying here again.
