Plenty of room inside the cottage for 6 of us. Would stay here again! Unrelated to the cottage itself, but a tip for future renters: the garbage dump near Fenelon Falls already had a 30min wait at 9:15 am on the Saturday we were leaving (opens at 9:00am). So be prepared to possibly wait or just bring your garbage home for disposal. ##### Jessica H. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine C.

The cottage was well equipped with lots of room and very comfortable. The lake was warm enough for swimming and the sandpit beside the lake was a huge hit with our grandchildren. The large bay window looking out at the lake made for a very relaxed start to the day. While the cottage is very close to the neighbours on both sides the privacy wall on the deck made the cottage feel secluded. All in all a great time was had by all. ##### Brenda T.
