Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Long weekend getaway We had a great time as a family at this cottage. The lake was clear & perfect for swimming & kayaking. Unfortunately no luck in the fishing department this time. So many fun water toys available in the boat garage! The indoor hot tub was a great option for when the weather wasn’t ideal. There was so many great lakeside spots on the multi level deck to enjoy. Also having a dishwasher & laundry facilities made our stay very convenient. Any small family would have a great time bonding at this beautiful corner of David lake. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2cb75356-7443-4404-9ff6-f2bcace0c2a0-1751398360320.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jason V.
