Loved the hot tub, kayaks/canoe, fire pit, and games included. Lake is small & shallow but great for kayaking. The owner answered all questions immediately and the entire stay was awesome. Sad to leave. ##### Dennis S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicole C. Jul 12, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Beautiful property. One of our main reasons for booking was the hot tub that we didnt get to enjoy. A repair man was sent out on our last night there and said he had been told days before it needed service and we hadn't been notified it wasnt working or that the service guy was coming out.We also had to ask for the grass to be cut so we could enjoy the yard. For the showers, it was either really hot or really cold and you have to be quick! We could only flush the toilets a couple times an hour or they just wouldnt flush. I understand its a cottage, but with a group of six, these would have been nice things to know prior to booking. Food stuck on dishes and some dusting would be appreciated. In order for the upstairs to be a comfortable temperature, the downstairs was freezing cold, no covers on a couple of the vents.A speaker and ice machine is listed but not available. I also didnt see an xbox. Would have been nice to have the rest of the dock in the water as well. Nice lake for taking your boat out and fishing. Lots of room for larger parties. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and BBQ. ##### Nicole C. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica L.

The roadways were cleared and the setting was like something from Narnia. The house was clean, the furniture and beds were comfortable, the decor was tasteful, there was ample warmth and hot water (it’s not pictured, but the outdoor hot tub was awesome!), and being there made me want to come back again to enjoy the fire pit and lake when it’s not frozen over. Ping pong, foosball table, a few board games, an Xbox…there was plenty to do in the house for kids and teens. Only drawbacks: no washer and dryer (laundromat is only 15 minutes away) and extra towels would have been nice, but other than that, it was a 10/10. We really loved our stay, and Mustafa was an excellent host and answered our questions promptly. ##### Monica L.

Our stay was comfortable. host is great, bonfire and lake view amazing. I will return in winter. The cottage had enough pillows beds towels and basic toiletries and kitchen had all needs filled up. Deck is amazing , we saw some deers too around passing by. The only concern is the Lake water quality, shoreline and no possibility to swim at shoreline. Water at lake upto 30 feet is shallow to 5 and half feet or so. The lake bed is terrible, it sinks you in when you step in and every step is a challenge. you get stuck in mud or all the left over vegetation rotting down. Water smelled horrible . Lake is not meant for swimming I saw no-one in water across on other cottages. Saw people on docks but not inside water. My kayak flipped on 1st day and that is when I found out the lake situation, i did not even think abt going to water again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Aug 6, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Girls’ cottage getaway This was our first summer getaway at a cottage. In the past, we have always camped. As such, and given the steep rental fee, we were expecting luxurious accommodation (by comparison), with all the amenities. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The cottage was spacious and reasonably clean, but the kitchen was not particularly well-equipped, and the bathrooms were not stocked with bathing supplies or many towels, as advertised. Our biggest disappointment was the poor water access and quality. The shoreline was mucky, full of algae and fallen trees and very shallow. There appeared to be a couple of floating docks on the property, but they were on land, upside down, 50 m from the shore. It was a hot, humid week and we did not swim even once, nor did we see any of the neighbours in the water. We did use the kayaks (okay) and canoe (terrible) on one occasion. Thankfully, we came equipped with our own board games, kitchen tools, beach towels and yoga mats and had a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom B.

Aug 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Time We were looking to spend family time together and this property did not disappoint! The cottage was very clean and well laid out to accommodate the six of us. There is one queen bed and four doubles, two and half bathrooms. The pool, ping pong and fussball tables were very popular, especially on the first couple of days, which were a bit cooler. As mentioned in a couple other reviews, the waterfront is not suitable for swimming but the bay is quiet and perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. The location close to Bancroft is also a plus. On one of the cooler days, our group went hiking at Eagle’s Nest, just a ten minute drive away. Overall, we had an excellent stay! ##### Lois W.

In the middle of the forest, water front and with LOTS to do! This place was amazing and we cannot recommend it enough! The house is gorgeous with open concept and nice views. The owner was super responsive and very friendly! Hot tub, kayaks, canoes, life vests, and EVERYTHING you need inside the house, you couldn't ask for more!! ##### Sandy T.
