We had a lovely time. We wish the access to the fire pit was a little more accessible - it was in a more wooded area.

It is a nice place in a quiet cottage community. Beautiful area, easy access to walking trails right at back of property. There is a communal deck at the front entrance if you want to enjoy the view of the sunset over the bay. Also 2 chairs down on the beach that we used. Really enjoyed paddling around the bay in the kayaks that the owner made available for our use. We did have to carry the kayaks down to the water and across the road (about 100 metres) but road is not busy & speed limit is low so not an issue. Fire pit area out back and firewood was supplied. Small private deck with chairs for us to sit on where we enjoyed several meals. 5 minutes from grocery store and 10 minutes from Walmart, LCBO, restaurants, etc. Bed was comfortable, cottage nicely renovated. We would stay again and recommend to anyone who enjoys the outdoors! ##### Martin S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Theresa F.
