10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful home for a week or 2. Our Adult Sons daughter in-law and us Grandparents all stayed here together. Also with our sons dogs. This house was excellent for us.. we could have campfires. Play with our grandchildren. Play air hockey, ping-pong or pool table games. If it was raining outside. We got great exercise running out to the dock to sit and watch the boats or go for a jump off the docks. Or just down the road about 3-4 driveways is the park and nice beach for kids to meet other children and climbing equipment. We had a wonderful time."

Wolfe Lake Cottage sleeps eight - Nipissing, Ontario, Canada

Wolfe Lake Cottage sleeps eight - Nipissing, Ontario, Canada

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay at John’s Wolfe Lake cottage. The cottage was clean, lots of comfortable sleeping, tons of hang-out spots inside and outside the cottage, and well-equipped with some fun entertainment options for the family. The croquet set, horseshoes, and record player were family faves. Personally, I really enjoyed using the stand up paddle board and relaxing on the lounge chairs on the platform facing the lake. The water off the dock is shallow and stays shallow for a long time, which allowed for some great long swims too!"

"Our second year at this home and we had a wonderful time. The new dock was great - we were able to put kayaks and boards into the river safely and spent many hours of fun on the water. The location works very well for us to visit friends and family in the area. We also found Richard Thomas Memorial Park - a beautiful little park and swimming spot. We stayed August 1 - 8."
