"From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Karen, who took the time to walk us through everything we needed to know about the property. Her hospitality immediately made us feel at home.The surrounding area is truly spectacular. I’ve had the chance to travel extensively, but this cottage stay stands out as one of the most memorable and peaceful experiences I’ve ever had. The setting is the perfect blend of comfort and nature. We found ourselves so relaxed that we didn’t even feel the need to explore beyond the property—it was all right there.The private beach is a real gem—ideal for swimming and perfect for boat rides. We brought our own inflatable and spent hours on the water. The stillness and natural beauty of the place are absolutely captivating. One of our favorite spots was the dreamy dock, where we would sit late into the night stargazing or wake early to watch the sunrise over the lake. It was magical.The cottage itself was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Every detail was considered, making it an easy and truly restful stay.I actually tried to rebook for this summer, but unsurprisingly, it was already sold out!If I had one small suggestion to make an already amazing experience even better, it would be to provide a small kayak or canoe for guests to enjoy the lake even more fully.Highly recommended—we can’t wait to return when we get the chance!"

"This is our second year in a row staying here and we love it. They go out of their way to provide all of the necessities you need, big or small. Definitely a fun getaway for couples!"

"Stayed with 4 other friends for a getaway weekend. Place was very clean, fully stocked with essentials and kayaks were a huge bonus. Felt like a home away from home and would highly recommend."

"We enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would certainly recommend."

"Great, conveninet base to explore the Kawartha Lakes region, and only 17 minutes to nearby Bobcageon. Mere steps to the lakeshore properties and boat docks, with a great little convenience story, breakfast cafe that serves as a fuel stop for boaters.The property is newly built, and the amiable and helpful landlord (who's on site) is still working on his adjacent property....so there is a bit of a still-working-on it atmosphere. Nonetheless, the setup is nice, and the unit is set up as a home with three nice bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, a big laundry room, and a great wraparound balcony. It also features a small garden and a rooftop deck ideal for sunbathing or stargazing.Think you will be quite comfortable and satisfied with your choice."

"Spectacuar sunsets, set in a very friendly, cottage community. The cabin itself was sufficient, but lacked heat, as the thermostat was broken. We were given a kerosene heater "

"Dave and Stephanie are great hosts and the place is quiet and has a great atmosphere "

"We had a nice relaxing weekend here! Beds were comfy. Plenty of space. Hunter was easy to communicate with. We had bad weather but seems like the lake would be great for fishing! "

"Loved how quiet and nice everyone was! The spa was amazing and the ladies who did our couples massage were so nice and made the whole experience really nice! Would go back again. "
