Apr 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend Getaway We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. There was a surprising amount of room for our family of 4 and located very close to the lake. A perfect spot for a getaway. ##### Ryan S.

Aug 16, 2024 #### Beware of no dock access now they changed it The decor was nice, neighbors were very nice, and it had a great beach access across street. ##### Ed P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin R. Jun 17, 2025 #### Comfortable summer cottage This was a very comfortable cottage for our family of five. The AC isn't great upstairs, but the kids were only up there for sleeping, so it wasn't a big deal for us. We loved the proximity to the lake and drank our coffee on the dock each morning while listening to loons and watching the silent fishermen glide through the quiet mornings. The kids loved swimming in the lake. Beware that the level of the lake is very low , but that you can't necessarily tell the depth from the dock. We would recommend this cottage to other families. ##### Erin R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean T. Feb 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint little cabin The house was so incredibly cute! There were 4 of us and everyone had their own room (although we ended up not using two of them) and there was just enough space for us not to feel cramped. It was clean, modern lake house feel and the location is incredible. We got there at night and when I woke up in the morning to see the view and walk out to the lake I was blown away! Had a small water issue that we eventually got resolved but it didn't wreck the stay. If you're looking for a cute, comfy spot to crash at night then this is a great spot! ##### Sean T. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlene C. Sep 24, 2024 #### Beautiful cozy home for the family We loved this little house! Four bedrooms is a rare find for our budget and needs, but they were much appreciated. Everything inside felt so cozy and familiar. Unfortunately, we spent most of our vacation week inside, as the weather was unseasonably cool and rainy. But at least we were comfortable and the wifi was good! It was so very quiet there during the week! Despite this house being one of 10 units on the property, I think we were the only ones there outside the weekend. The onsite beach/swimming area is more crowded with boats and docks than I would have liked, but the water was clean and the ground mostly sandy. ##### Charlene C. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Karen M. May 29, 2024 #### Awful Service - No running water - No AC - Amenities not as advertised. Super cute cottage, great having the lake right there. ##### Karen M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Attitash Mountain Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Bartlett-Hotels-Attitash-Mountain-Village.h893392.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Seabrook by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Seabrook.h1695935.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Omni Mount Washington Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bretton-Woods-Hotels-Omni-Mount-Washington-Resort.h2504470.Hotel-Information) > > [SpringHill Suites by Marriott Hampton Portsmouth](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Hampton-Portsmouth.h32489324.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [The Governor's Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-The-Governors-Inn.h15261108.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Hampshire Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-Best-Western-Hampshire-Inn.h2475562.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Merrimack by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Merrimack.h19929.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Jacket Mountain View](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Conway-Hotels-Red-Jacket-Mountain-View-And-Indoor-Water-Park.h15880.Hotel-Information) > > [Thayers Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Littleton-Hotels-Thayers-Inn.h3373382.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus The Inn at Hampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-The-Inn-At-Hampton.h49862.Hotel-Information) > > [School House Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Conway-Hotels-School-House-Inn.h9512702.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites North Conway](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Conway-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h518228.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Summit Hotel at Attitash](https://www.expedia.ca/Bartlett-Hotels-Grand-Summit-Hotel-At-Attitash.h1677204.Hotel-Information) > > [Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitefield-Hotels-Mountain-View-Grand-Resort-Spa.h1068947.Hotel-Information) > > [RiverWood Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Jackson-Hotels-RiverWood-Inn.h14822816.Hotel-Information)
