Aug 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family week away The property and amenities were great overall. The owners were amazing in all aspects and very responsive. The area is a little tough with young ones as the water was very dirty and a lot of passing boats close by which we didn’t realize. After talking to neighbours it sounds like the water was so poor because of all the rain this season. We also woke up one morning and the outside of the home was swarmed with mayflies which the owners did mention when we arrived and said it was unlikely to happen but unfortunately it did. Otherwise the home was as picture and clean with very comfy beds. ##### Maureen G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leonard P.

Fantastic location and beautiful cottage. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. We were already talking about booking for next year! ##### Jennifer Y. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rose C. Sep 14, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Cottage was lovely and clean inside but you could tell upgrades are needed. Shower had no water pressure. Our only real issue with property was that outside area as needs significant cleanup- spiders and webs everywhere prevented us from enjoying outside after dusk. ##### Rose C.
