Great stay
Me and two friends went for some fishing and relaxation. Great little spot. Shallow water off the dock so we caught lots of jumbo perch. Cleanliness was excellent and we forgot our bluetooth speakers at home so it was a nice surprise that one was provided. Nice to have a row boat with the rental as well. Host was very responsive and friendly.

Super location
Stay was wonderful! View of the lake from cottage was amazing. Cottage right on the water. Close to our favourite restaurant the Wilno Tavern. Close to charming little parks and beaches and hiking trails. Only stayed for 2 nights and wished we booked longer. Went in October. Only minor thing was the sofa was very uncomfortable to sit on and watch tv. Tom followed up with us which I thought was great. Thanks Tom.

Quiet and private cabin on a lake
This cabin is absolutely beautiful! The property is well maintained and steps away from the lake. We were there for 4 days and seen 3 boaters. Amazing pizza from Vito’s pizzeria!

Quiet, beautiful location
Easy communication with Tom, lovely little cabin which was more than enough for us and the dogs. It was too cold to swim but sitting at the lake and listening to the loons was peaceful and lovely.

Wonderful break!
The cottage has everything one needs. Important feature was stable WiFi, since I had to work for two days. No issues with supporting all-day conference calls. The rest - pure joy! Extremely quiet in late October, great get-away from the city. Looking forward to coming back!
