"We had a wonderful time. Gary is a great host. He was very welcoming, friendly and warm. His cottage was lovely. Perfect for a quiet retreat. The lake in the early morning and evening is so calm, just sit back and take it all in. In the early morning, you can see the mist lifting off the lake, perfect for that classic cottage picture.If you enjoy bass fishing, this lake is a great choice. We caught a great number of 3 to 4 pounders.Gary is very passionate about astronomy as many previous renters have mentioned. He shared his vast knowledge with us. It made our stay that much more memorable.Thank you Gary for your hospitality. We had an unforgettable time. "

"So many complaints with this cottage. Biggest one is that the pool doesn't even have a pump that cleans it. Water is extremely dirty with a grime sheen seen on top of it. Upon asking Mike, he just makes excuses and false promises. Hot water tub is frigid cold and is also filthy. Looks like it's used in the pictures to attract people. Other reviewers either don't care about cleanliness or are fake. Inside the cottage, 2 out of 5 showers don't get hot water, toilet seats are broken. We saw a dead mouse in the AC shaft. Multiple doors don't lock from inside. Internet is painfully slow.Only good thing was the volleyball area and the kayaks/canoes that we could enjoy but we paid for the pool/hot tub but we could never get in to such a filthy place. "

"Loved this quiet and tranquil site. We had the cottage right on the lake.Stunning"

"We enjoyed our stay at the dragon's nest. Great place, peaceful river so relaxing. Such a charming place to visit, and the host was excellent."

"The house was as advertised on the listing. A/C worked very well. Internet was spotty at best. The house could use a deep cleaning and some basic supplies (soap, dishwasher detergent- bring your own)"

"From booking to checkout, the experience was perfect. Cathy is beyond lovely and very responsive to all our questions and requests. The property is perfect. Its close to neighbours but you would never know. It feels very secluded and peaceful. Cathy really thought of every little detail. The front yard is big enough to play some soccar or set up a badminton net. The backyard is truly heaven. There is a large enough space for big groups but also plenty of small seating areas if you want to do your own thing. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants some time away in paradise. "
