Awesome

We had a great time there. Lots of activities for kids and adults. Great outdoor area. We really enjoyed our time. When we were there the weather was great however I found a little issue if the weather was cold. The issue is that the guest house doesn’t have washroom and if during the night you need to go to washroom you must go outside to go to the main building. Other than that no problem

Lovely weekend at Head Lake

A group of friends met up for a bit of a reunion at this cottage, some from Ottawa and some from Toronto. The location was perfect, and the area is beautiful. The cottage itself had tons of space and privacy. We played lots of volleyball on their volleyball court. And we enjoyed the kayak and boat available. We were fortunate to have good weather,but the large covered patio and indoor activities available are amazing. The outdoor patio and firepit area is perfect for large gatherings and feels brand new. The house and guesthouse are both very nicely taken care of. Clean on arrival, comfortable beds, and nice renovations. Instructions from the host were easy to follow. Communication was never a problem (but you'll just need to use the wifi as there is not much reception in the area), Shival was always quick and polite in their response. Thank you Shival, we had a lovely time!

Lovely Vacation Retreat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!! The games room is excellent for indoor moments and the backyard is an oasis for outdoor time. The neighbourhood is quiet and scenic, but not way off the beaten path of grocery essentials. Lodging space is not large but certainly sufficient. Host response is quick! Overall would recommend!! One note, for most efficient check in make sure message with access codes has been received before getting within 30 min or cottage as cell service is spotty and we had a bit of difficulty with that.
