AMAZING VACATION SPOT

If we could give more stars we would, we had such an amazing time that half way through our visit we decided to stay an extra day. The hosts were wonderful people and were on top of everything and they communicated all the way through. Meeting you on day 1 with a welcome basket was a very sweet touch. Weather you enjoy wildlife, reading a book, playing games with the kids you are all set, even the fishing was fun & plentifull! The sunsets and watching the boats go by on the river was breathtaking. Both towns are close by (5-10 min) with lots to do. The cottage has absolutely EVERYTHING you need. We cannot wait to go back next year. Thanks Jayne & Jason for a very memorable vacation

Perfect vacation in the peaceful and beatiful lake front cottage

I have never seen a cottage this clean before. It was spotless and well-organized, making our stay extremely comfortable and enjoyable. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils we needed, and there were plenty of patio chairs outside. The evening sunsets were especially peaceful and beautiful, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a bonfire. We were even lucky enough to see fireflies. With no neighbors around during my stay, it was quiet and felt like our own private retreat. The hosts were very kind and provided detailed explanations, which made our stay even better.

Beautiful way to spend Canada day weekend

Tremendous stay. A wonderful setting with all the conveniences of home but with a rustic cottage feel. Though there is much to commend, we all adored the bed sheets and would love to know where they were purchased! Minor recommendations would include full size towels, towel hooks in the bathroom, and sharpened butcher knives. Thanks for making our visit a memorable one.

Peaceful and beautiful

This was an amazing vacation. Fire pit, lake and stars at night were my highlight. The cottage has everything you need and a town is just a few minutes away if you need groceries or do not feel like cooking :) This place is dog friendly and there is plenty of room for them to play and swim. Also, you can take them for a quite a walk. Thank you Jayne and Jason, you are great hosts and I am glad I came across your Vrbo account.

How life should be!

From the over all atmosphere/ambiance of the area itself, to the cottage inside and surroundings abound, one word! Unplug! The serenity, the peace and the quiet is what it's all about. Plus, why you are here! Jason, Jayne and their daughter are the type of people that make you glad and greatful for deciding to choose their cottage. And I know the longer you get to know them that they would not only to become great neighbours/friends, but in the long run, family! Thanks again to you all for a great vacation spot and hope to see you in the future!

Lake side cottage with a beautiful view of the lake

Host Jason & his daughter were waiting to receives us. Jason gave us a tour of the premises and there was welcome gift (basket of goodies & wine) on the kitchen table. Safe fire pit by the deck near the lake to enjoy the sun set. Firewood was available in a neighbour's property right across the cottage for $5 per bundle. Overall, it was a great experience and we would love to go back for a longer stay.

Best summer getaway!

The perfect summer getaway to unwind with family and friends! Jason and Jayne has been the loveliest host as they made sure to meet and greet us before we enter their lovely home. The welcome basket with sweets, treats and a greeting card was a plus! Their place was such a lovely home. All the cottage feels with a touch of a modern vibe! Surrounded by bright windows and a cozy living room to chill while playing a game board or watch TV. The main bedroom was so beautiful as you see the sunlight come thru the roof in the morning. The bedsheets smells sooo good with the softest pillows ever, it was hard to wake up early! In the afternoon, we were able to enjoy paddle boarding, kayaking and fishing in the deck greeting the very friendly boats that passed by and enjoying the view seeing unique birds around too! The sunset was the BIG highlight at night! You also get to chill in the deck with a warm bonfire under the stars :) We will definitely come back!!! We rate this lovely home 11 out of 10!

The perfect getaway!

My partner and I stayed here for a couple of nights mid-week and it was heavenly! Jayne and Jason were incredible hosts. When we arrived they gave us a brief tour and rundown of the property and left us with such a thoughtful gift basket. The cottage was immaculately clean and the bed and linens were fresh and cozy. On our second day we basically lived on the dock, enjoying the water and the sunshine. In the evenings we took advantage of the fire pit and the convenience of firewood for sale directly across the street. The cottage had everything needed for a comfortable stay, we only left once to visit Dooher’s Bakery. Such a lovely spot to rest and recharge, we will be back again next year for sure!

10/10 cottage, property & hosts

The lakefront cottage and it's location was everything we hoped for and more. Perfect view of the lake, great for swimming, paddling or floating. When canoeing, we saw a beaver, porcupine, blue herons, green herons, turtles, a mink and lots of other birds we dont often see at home. There is lots of sun on the docks after late morning, but also mature trees and a nice spot to relax in the shade. Grass on all sides of the property for outdoor games. Dog friendly with fence separating from neighbours. Fire wood for sale across the street, came in handy for the raised fire pit that we sat around almost every evening. Jason & Jayne were fabulous hosts. Very responsive and met us the first day to show us around. Very generous and thoughtful, leaving us a welcome basket. Will look to stay here again in the future & would 10/10 recommend.
