There is not one bad thing I can say. Our family had a great time and made some amazing memories. Thank you again John and Karissa ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea S. Aug 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Memorable Island Adventure This was a great family vacation! The views and location were stunning. The main private beach was really the highlight - this was the best beach and swimming we've had at a cottage (and we have rented a few different spots around Ontario). The water was calm, clean and warm. We enjoyed exploring and hiking parts of the island. It seems to be a great fishing spot, however we were unlucky in that department. The hosts were absolutely amazing, providing us with everything we could need and being very hospitable and accommodating. We would definitely recommend it and would rent again. I think that if we had had our own watercraft, it would have enhanced the exploring experience for us, but other than that, it was a perfectly wonderful experience. Thank you! ##### Andrea S.

Aug 4, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Island retreat We had a wonderful trip to the island. We enjoyed the very private setting and beautiful views. We spent most of our time on the sandy beach, using the kayak and paddle boat provided. The water was warm and amazing for swimming. The cottage is stunning, with views on all sides. We were a group of 6 and we had plenty of room - for sleeping, cooking and playing board games in the very large main room. The beds were very comfortable, and we woke up to the sound of waves lapping on the shore. We were a bit nervous about being on an island, but it turned out to be the best part of the experience. The kids were safe everywhere and enjoyed the freedom to explore. The owners were very responsive- both before and during our stay. We appreciated that they provided linens and drinking water for our stay. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. We truly felt like guests more than renters. Overall, it was an amazing experience. We hope to return soon. ##### Barbara M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darryl L., St Thomas Ontario Canada Jul 5, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exactly how the ad stated We brought a large family and used both cabins. The cabins have superb views and were perfect for the size of group we had. The owners helped us get to the cottage and return. The beds were comfy, amenities were suiting, the beaches were amazing with lots of natural sand, very private area and lots of acres to walk around. My family walked in a little hesitant as we always do and left on a high knowing we had such a great time and achieved the level of relaxation we were looking for. The fishing was also great for a few meals. Highly recommend the owners and their cottages. You can’t go wrong here ! ##### Darryl L. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2020 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Aug 19, 2019 #### Serene, breathtakingly beautiful spot This island cottage is a piece of paradise - beautiful spot with gorgeous views and fantastic beaches. The accommodations were great! If you are looking to get away and connect with nature in all its beauty - this is the place to rent! Be prepared to be self sustaining on an island for a week however, but well worth it!
