"I spent one night there and it was okay. Don't expect anything fancy. The motel staff were nice, and they were okay with my late check-in. There is no tea or coffee in the room, but you can get some from their office."

Wolfe Lake Cottage sleeps eight - Nipissing, Ontario, Canada

10/10 Excellent
"I booked a surprise getaway for my husband and I - and we have officially found our new yearly place to stay at! Booking with John was so smooth. His property is beautiful, quiet but yet with so many things you can do. The views from the docks were breathtaking. We laid in the hammock, enjoying the sun and the fall colours across the lake and read a book. At night we started the woodstove, cuddled up and enjoyed a movie. The kitchen is fully equipped to cook every meal. John was also phenomenal at communicating, and answered any question we had. We look forward coming back next year with our family."

"I have stated this property before. But not this exact apartment. My previous experience was better. The host had a housekeeping, scheduling issue, so the host, and I had agreed that I would clean the apartment, change the bedding, do the dishes from the previous renter, etc., for a discounted rate. They did honour it right away. I will not let this determine me from staying there again, because I know what the apartment is and the host is very responsive"

The location works very well for us to visit friends and family in the area. We also found Richard Thomas Memorial Park - a beautiful little park and swimming spot. We stayed August 1 - 8."
