Sep 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great cottage. Would rent again. ##### Neil U. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Christine V. Oct 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The cottage was great. More than we needed as a couple with 1 dog.The cottage a was a combination of ultra modern. Updated and original. Eclectic. Plenty of space and everything you need for kitchen good prep. The gazebo was in transition from that shown in pics to a newer type and not available for use on our dates.The one oddity was that I noticed tire tracks from a quad in the driveway and then noticed lights on in one of the out buildings - likely a bunkie. That creeped me out and shaded our last night. Made me in comfortable walking the property with our dog.Lastly having a checkout time of 11 when the dump didn’t open til 11. - would have been an issue to return the dump card within that time frame. We worked around it but should not have had too. ##### Christine V. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michael m. Dec 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Snowy by the River A pleasant and well-equipped cottage beside a bow in the Magnetawan River. We were a week after the winter solstice. In three days we had lots of snow, then rain that washed much of it away. When the power failed (for only a few hours and during the day) there was a wood-burning heater that kept us comfortable. A risk you run in the country in the winter. But, if you depend on your cell phones, keep them charged. And have something to make a sandwich without a stove. We'd rent again. ##### michael m.
