Great place to stay
Loved this rustic cottage! Curtis was very responsive to our questions and readily available. It was really nice that he left a few extra toothbrushes. His Japanese bidet toilet seat was amazing!

Old fashioned family fun
We had a great few days at the Smith's haven! There was no shortage of activities, and the environment offered tons of space to be silly and make memories.

Good times
Stayed 3 nights, fully enjoyed the stay. This cottage has lots of character with many hidden details. Everything needed to have a good time is available. Nothing better than having a coffee watching the sunrise and a beer watching the sunset.

Beautiful Lake
The lake and dock were beautiful and there was a great selection of paddle boards and canoes and water toys to use. The cottage inside was clean and lots of space. Some areas need updating but overall a great stay!

Long weekend on the lake
We had an amazing time at Curtis’ place! Extremely comforting, beautifully decorated, and full of things for us to do! Clean and easy access to the lake made our trip go extra smoothly! The dock was spacious for our group to chill around, and had lots of space for us to leave our jet-skis docked. Curtis is a phenomenal host, he was easy to communicate with, extremely nice, and was very thoughtful when we had any questions or concerns. Overall, an amazing place with an even more amazing host! Our group is excited for next season as we plan to book again!

Weekend at the cottage
This place was perfect for our large group of friends. Very spacious and plenty to do around the property. The surrounding area is very scenic and we spent alot of time on the water and enjoying the dock. Would definitely consider coming back.
