    Perfect place for vacationing
    Beautiful place, area and surroundings. The cottage has everything a family need. Practically you are staying at a fully furnished home. Just bring your own towels and bed sheets and covering, thats all. Gas station/General store is in less than 5 minutes drive away. The cottage sits on the bank of a beautiful small lake. Kids swam and kayaked. A cone comes with the cottage as well. The one and the only one thing we had trouble with was the wifi kept dropping. The communication with the owners was prompt and quick. She made all in her power to help us with the wifi but i guess it wasn't meant for us this time. Overall we had a blast. Definitely this place will be visited again by our family. Thanks

    Renter beware
    Property was beautiful . cottage was okay but not great. Overpriced . owner was not forthcoming with certain issues. Boats over 10ft can not go in water safely . dock too shallow and private beach was non existent . bbq old and very dirty and only wood burning stove to heat . when concerns brought to owners attention she basically said too bad not my problem . we left 36hrs early because of issues and were not even offered partial refund for the day we had no power or water. Were not told until the night we arrived that there was only wood burning stove to heat . we said we had a boat and it was 18ft and she said ya no problem . needless to say the boat. Could not be docked at our cottage cause it was too shallow . window leaked when it rained as well as the fireplace stack . all issues we brought to owners attention . not recommended

    The lake was beautiful. We loved the loons. Although the cottage was adequate, the beds leave much to be desired. A portable air conditioner would have been a great asset as well.
