Cute, clean cottage was perfect for us and our dogs for a long weekend. Screen porch and AC was the envy of our family who’d booked other cottages. Easy walk to Happi Jax and other lake attractions.

I’ve been going to Canadohta every summer for most of my life. This is by far one of the cleanest/nicest places I’ve stayed in. The host, Robyn, is also very responsive and helpful. Overall we had a great experience!

Nice. Not great but very nice. It had everything we needed but not everything we wanted (extra blanket, a few kitchen pieces, storage/hooks for jackets). We did not know what or where to go on the lake and so we went to Erie for activities for our kiddo A guide an
