Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect little hideaway Lovely little cottage (smaller than it seems from the photos) on a beautiful quiet lake. The weather didn't cooperate for our stay, so we weren't able to take advantage of the 'toys' that were available to us, but sitting by a campfire listening to the lapping water was just perfect! We would definitely stay here again. ##### Linda G. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul R. Oct 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Property This property was very clean and had everything we needed as a couple. When I booked I told the host it was a 20th Anniversary trip. On our arrival we were greeted with a bottle of bubbly and other treats for our anniversary. That was very kind. All in all this is a great property. I would have no hesitation in booking again. ##### Paul R. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris H.

Jul 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house on the lake with lots of water fun! We had the best stay ever! Two great beds and clean and comfortable house/kitchen/bathroom! The house is situated directly on the lake with a beautiful shaded garden! A fire pit with firewood provided, for marshmallows and cozy evenings in the Adirondack chairs. Kids had a lot of fun on the water trampoline, and we loved the standup paddle boards, kayaks, and if you know how to fish you can do that as well! :) the water was great to swim in and hardly any bugs! The hosts were friendly and helpful! Great place to be and enjoy while also easy to explore hotspots like Peggy’s Cove, Lunenburg and Halifax. We had great food at la cuisine de Brigitte by the way :) Go here! ##### Bianca H.
