Aug 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway Such a beautiful place, nice quaint getaway. Very true to advertisement and great host to deal with. ##### Laura D. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David L. Jul 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This really is a delightful airy pleasantly cool property with plenty of natural light, a place secluded enough to be private but close enough to shops etc just a few minutes down the road. It was super clean when we arrived and the wifi worked perfectly. I particularly enjoyed rowing and kayaking on the lake and sitting next to the busy hummingbird feeder. The handful of neighbours are far enough away that you don’t hear any noise. Highly recommended. ##### David L. Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colleen M. Jul 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun at Far, far Away Our group of six adults was fortunate to enjoy three nights at the end of July at the cottage named Far, far Away ( named for a place in the movie, Shrek) Situated on a private spring-fed lake, it is exactly as presented in the listing. The water was perfect for swimming, fishing and paddling around. The hammock was a hit too. The cottage -more like a lodge -is fully equipped and very comfortable. We had a bbq each night followed by a campfire. The wood was provided by the host. Communication with the host was excellent. I would highly recommend Far, far Away and would love to return. ##### Colleen M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt R. Aug 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing destination What a fantastic long weekend getaway at the far far away cottage. The pictures don’t do this cottage justice, it’s absolutely stunning. Everything was better than advertised and the host was easy to communicate with. 10/10 on all fronts and will be returning next year. ##### Matt R. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica S. Aug 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Far, Far Away was perfect! We had a little trouble finding the cottage, but that was no fault but our own as we put the directions in wrong. But...once we got there...we were blown away by the place. It was absolutely mesmerizing. Everything inside was clean and organized, not to mention there was tons of things to use! (I.e., paddle boards, paddles, kayak, fishing rods, kitchen cutlery/utilities, towels and bedding). The huge window was where I spent my rainy mornings, looking out at the gorgeous view. The host was also super active in answering any of my questions while we were there. I would say the only reason this amazing place lost a star for this review would be because of the rules left on paper at the cottage. All of them made perfect sense (how to use the fancy BBQ, how to use the dishwasher, etc.), but one of them was about taking all your garbage & recycling with you when you left, as well as make sure thr place was exactly how you found it. It made the additional $200 cleaning fee feel a bit unfair in the end. Either way, this was a wonderful experience - our indoorsy kiddo got out there and fully enjoyed the outdoorsy experience, so much that she wants to go back again next summer. Thanks, Far Far Away! ##### Jessica S.
