Oct 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing family vacation We booked this gem as a gathering spot with our adult children who live in England and Eastern Ontario. Check in was smooth and the cottage was very well equipped. Had a bit of an issue and Kyle was very quick to respond. It’s a huge property with dock, firepit and hot tub and we took full advantage of it. Beds were very comfortable. A short walk to the town's general store which has a liquor and beer store along with all the necessities. We would highly recommend this hidden gem. wassmooth and the c ##### Tracy B. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emma H. Feb 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very cute cottage vibes We had a lovely stay, the cottage is so beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. The location is quite nice as it’s close to a little town where you can pick things up or go out for food, but super quiet that you can enjoy some quiet time in the hot tub or just relaxing. My only feedback to the host would be, that we booked for six people and the living room does not really have enough comfortable seating for six people, so I’d recommend changing up the layout/adding some comfortable furniture. ##### Emma H. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jalal M. Dec 28, 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Hot-tub causes BACTERIAL INFECTION. Avoid at all cost. My fiancé and I stayed here mainly to use their hot tub. Water was not clean and properly sanitized. It caused my fiancé very painful bacterial infection. Worst part is that the host denied everything even when provided medical proof. ##### Jalal M.
