We had 3 dry days, 4 wet, the fact that our host (Tom) was quick to respond to any questions we had and a very well equipped cottage with everything you could ask for made our stay very enjoyable despite the weather. You had a great view from the cottage and the location was quiet, we were able to tour parts of the lake which was our main objective We think that our host went above and beyond giving us local information as to shopping and sights to see, wouldn't hesitate to book with Tom again!

Our mini vacation

We were very blessed in that the weather was terrific. My developmentally delayed son age 55 and my best friend another Margaret stayed with me. I swam every day as did my dog Carson. We put the garbage in the bin at the end of the driveway as suggested, and separated the recyclables and left them in the two recycling containers as directed.. We cleaned and tidied before we left and believe we left the property as we found it. We would seriously look at returning another year.

We had fun

Our primary reason for this visit was for my children and husband to fish. They had so much fun fishing and spent each day on the dock. The cottage was perfect for what we were looking for and the animals and nature was a perfect atmosphere for us, we even encountered two beavers that wanted to interact and play. It was so much fun and we made beautiful memories there. Thank you Tom for being such an amazing host.

Owners were excellent to communicate with promptly. Would be better if linens were included in the rental. Not enough indoor dining chairs to accommodate the number of people advertised for. Great outdoor dining space if the weather allows. We had a cozy quiet little getaway which was great!
