The cottage was beautiful, newly renovated and very clean. We had a great stay! There are also kayaks on site and a full kitchen that weren't mentioned in the listing.

We enjoyed our weekend overall and really appreciated the lakefront setting. The cottage was clean, spacious and well suited for our group. The kayaks provided were a great bonus, and the kids especially loved the proximity to Ski-Mazing water sports across the bay — they went tubing twice! Kawartha Dairy is also very close by, and being beside the boat launch may be a great advantage for guests bringing a boat.There were, however, several things we felt should be addressed. The cottage is attached to a store, which is not disclosed in the listing. We also felt there should be a deadbolt inside the cottage to secure the door leading to the store, as well as the outer door on the second floor.The property is directly beside the highway, which was more noticeable than expected. The exterior stairs to the second floor also did not feel safe. There is a note inside warning guests about them, but we feel they should be roped off rather than simply noted.A few smaller issues: the lighting in the large eating area is very dim, and some upstairs bedroom windows are missing screens. It was warm at night, but we couldn’t open those windows because of the missing screens.Overall, there are lots of positives, but we feel the safety and security concerns should be addressed and the listing should more clearly disclose the attached store and highway location.
