This is our second time staying at this cottage and it was amazing. The lake is crystal clear and we swam every day. Kerri and Evan are fantastic hosts that respond immediately to any questions you may have. Sunsets are spectacular and we got to see a Hummingbird that stopped by most days. Great vacation at Bentley Lake!!

Great Family Getaway

This is a great cottage for a family. We had plenty of space to hang out and enjoy one another plus space for any one of us to sneak off with a book. Comfortable beds, great kitchen and laundry, a large deck with family sized table and the world's largest outdoor sectional. It was perfect having the separate bunkie for the 2 teenagers in our group. The swimming is lovely. The nights were quiet and we heard loons which is always heavenly. I would recommend this spot.

Great Cottage on a beautiful lake!!

We had a great time at this beautiful cottage on one of the cleanest lakes I have ever seen. Swimming was great and my husband caught a few fish off the dock as well. It is super close to town and of course Kawartha Lakes Dairy!! The property is huge and all the rooms were spacious and well appointed. The bunkie was also amazing! Can't say enough about this fantastic cottage and the owner's Kerri and Evan were great hosts always ready to assist with anything needed. We will most definitely be back next year!

Great for couples with kids or families. they provide variety of indoor and outdoor equipment / Games to keep you entertained even on rainy days. would be nice if they could stock a few more basic herbs or spices. they did provided a basket of chips and other goodies, that kids enjoyed. I would recommend to try this cottage.

THANK YOU FOR PARADISE

My family has rented cottages throughout Ontario for many years but the Bentley Lake Retreat cottage we had the pleasure to stay at this past week was by far our favourite. The lake is so calm & serene and the Davis family has put in such a great effort to make sure their guests have everything they need to enjoy their stay. From excellent outdoor games (Badminton & Volleyball) to great internet connection this cottage did not disappoint at all. I would recommend renting this cottage to anyone looking to disconnect and relax. Thank you Davis family!!

It was a great place to stay. The large decks were fantastic. There was plenty of room for all 8 of us and our dog. We had a lot of room to be together or to be apart for some quiet time. The upper yard was great for bocce or any sport requiring a large yard. Also the 2 firepits and floating dock with the electric motor were a bonus! All in all we would defenitely go back. The only thing I would caution is you must be able to do stairs to use the lower deck on the water. If not, the upper deck is great and has a wonderfully lake view.

The large property exceeded our expectations, gorgeous views, peaceful, 2 outdoor covered seating areas with lots of room to spread out, dining el fresco or indoors. The cottage with bunkie met all our needs for a family of 9 (8 adults + 1 child) Would not hesitate to recommend or return!!
