Little paradise

We where very impressed with the location. Really a wonderful setting. Kayaking and canoeing around the lake, taking a sauna and a campfire in the evening while watching the sunset. Stephen en Cynthia are really very friendly and attentive hosts. It was a pleasure to stay at their little paradise so we hope to come back.

Relaxing vacation!!

We had such a relaxing time. Stephen and Cynthia were great hosts, there if we needed something but not obtrusive at all! The suite was clean and had everything we needed, including water shoes available if we wanted to swim. The area around the dock is a little rocky so the shoes helped. We also thoroughly enjoyed the use of the outdoor sauna! We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect getaway!

We loved staying at this beautiful lakefront property! We enjoyed kayaking across the lake, hiking and relaxing by the water. The hosts were wonderful - welcoming, friendly and helpful. The apartment was very nice and cozy, and had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again if we are in the Toronto area in the future.. Note that this property is in the Township of Hamilton, which is quite a long drive from the city of Hamilton. (We didn’t realize this when we booked,)

Happy to be back!

This is our second time coming back here and we love it! The place is cozy and very charming. The beautiful setting at the lake among mature trees offers a perfect atmosphere to relax. The sauna right by the water is a cherry on the cake. The place is perfect for a short or long stay and has good internet if you were to work remotely. The kitchen has all the supplies and basics you might need. The hosts are such lovely people, they went above and beyond to make sure our stay is enjoyable and were able to give us great tips on hiking nearby. We enjoyed the sense of privacy and serenity that the place offers. Big thank you Stephen and Cynthia for sharing this place with us. Hoping to be back sometime again.

A wonderful place to stay

I really enjoyed my stay here. The lake views were great, everything was well taken care of, and my hosts were great. The hospitality was quite welcome, and their asking price is incredibly reasonable. Will be recommending this location to others in the future, and will myself return to it again moat certainly sometime in the future.

Relaxing and Peaceful Location

Whether you want to relax, do water sports, or enjoy a sauna you can easily make it happen at this spot. The owners thought of every detail. They are easily available to stalk the fire, help pull out the canoe or give some guidance on a donkey sanctuary- which was amazing. Go, enjoy and experience the best that nature has to offer in a cozy location.

Great getaway for a couple. My Daughter and I stayed 2 nights. There is a small galley kitchen with everything you need and a movie room with a large TV and DVDs. Inside there is a 4 person eating table and a 4 person lounge just outside the door. Outdoor activities on property include a swimming dock, kayaks, paddle boards, sauna and a canoe. The hosts organized a fire at night and a sauna at night and are very friendly and helpful in regards to nearby attractions and restaurants. We look forward to staying again.

Wonderful, quiet stay

We had a great time. Everything was very pleasant and quiet and the space was even better than I expected. I hope we can return at some point so that we can go out on the lake. Due to weather we did not take advantage of all the boats and equipment offered by Stephen. Everything was right there and very convenient. The sauna was fantastic and even though I didn't have intention to use it much, we did and were very glad they encouraged us to try it out. Just an overall lovely stay.

Great location!

Well-equipped, comfortable little suite in a cottage on the lake. Stunningly gorgeous area. We stayed for 3 nights in early November, and the views around Rice Lake were spectacular, especially during sunset. It was snowy, so we mainly went hiking on the nearby trails. The suite was very pleasant to come back to in the evenings, to prepare food, watch movies, and relax. Great view of the lake, and of sunsets, from the property, too. We took quite a few outdoor pictures. Definitely recommend this suite for proper accommodation in the area.
