Great snowmobile location

A fantastic location to use as a base for snowmobiling from. Being right on Baptiste Lake, the trail runs across the lake, with multiple options for touring each day. And Shannon and Chris were very accommodating. Would definitely return

Weekend Getaway

The perfect place for a cottage getaway. Wonderful venue for winter activities, cloae to sledding, snowmobiling, skating. Hottub was a wonderful experience under the stars after a cold day. Clean, well stocked, comfy and good room for our family of 4. Hosts went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. If I could give this 6 stars, absolutely would. Will definitely be booking for the summer!

Amazing Getaway

We were a family group looking for relaxation and fun on the water and our stay at Shannon's place couldn't have been more perfect. The cottage itself was very clean, comfortable and spacious. The main bedroom had a view of the lake that was spectacular to wake up too. The kitchen had everything needed to cook a variety of meals, I always bring things just in case but this time I really didn't need to at all. Everyone from kids to adults had a blast trying out the stand up paddle boards, and relaxing in the hot tub was a great way to end the day. The lake was absolutely beautiful and very peaceful, felt very safe and calm for kids swimming and kayaking around. We really loved that the cottage was just a short drive away from Bancroft which had a No frills and a Dollarama for a few things that we had forgot, prices were also pretty well the same as at home so next time I wouldn't even bother packing as much and just do a grocery run on arrival. Shannon was also a pleasure to communicate with, and was very quick to get back to us when we had a few little questions. This was one of our favorite cottage stays.
