Great place to enjoy all day sun on the deck. Cottage layout is great, beautiful fireplace, was clean and fully stocked with cooking equipment. Very quiet area, lake was great with fishing and paddleboating. Not a great swimming area as it is weedy but i believe the water was lower than usual. Would defenitely rent again.

We had a very lovely stay at the cottage.We kept ourselves to the main floor only and made great use of the sunny patio and shaded, screened gazebo. Fire ban was in effect so couldnt comment on the firepit or fireplace. We did not use the hot tub (ya, I know... crazy).The mudroom at the front was great for loading and unloading without letting bugs into the main house. We arrived without a level 2 charging cable, but Dan was great about letting us use his secret plug with our portable Level 1 charger.The kitchen is very well appointed which makes cooking on vacation a joy. Real handy having a fridge that makes ice.The view of the water is lovely and we were able to get out for a paddleboat as well. You also aren't so far away that you can't get into Perth for a day or spend some time in a provincial park. A brewery is also a short drive away, as are gas stations.A few little notes:* The mattress in the room (downstairs) we used was quite firm; maybe try a different room if you need a little more squish in your sleep. * There were waspy bugs and other flying things getting in from ?somewhere? Can't be helped, but we did have to take care of a couple. You are by the lake, after all...* There was no replacement Kleenex and conditioner was empty in the main floor bathroom. Had to steal some from upstairs.* Plan for slow cottage internet. Streaming Samsung TV in the main room served us well for entertainment. They are well stocked with many DVDs/Blurays.Really 4.5!

Dan's place is absolutely beautiful and it accommodated my whole family (7 adults and 1 toddler) comfortably. The area is beautiful and the dock and lake are stunning. It is a smaller lake and there was no traffic on the lake, which was peaceful. Dan was great at communicating and when we didn't have propane in the tank, he did say there was a backup propane canister available. The only feedback is that the listing does mention canoes and kayaks available seasonally, however there wasn't. We did have access to a SUP and a pedal boat, which was great. We would definitely stay there again.

The host, Dan, was absolutely stellar with his communication, always responding timely at all hours of the day! This really made our vacation smooth, and worry free!OVERALL LAYOUT: We easily settled into this home away from home! We loved the winding driveway through the forest, opening up to the wood paneling of the cottage and wind swept trees.BEDS AND SLEEPING: Beds were firm, and there was a large selection of pillows of various thicknesses. Overall all the beds were comfy, and we all had a great night sleep. Lots of sheets and blankets available. The 3 heat pumps and fans kept us at a great temperature. One of the rooms has no blinds, so bring an eye mask if you want to sleep in, but the natural sunlight was delightful. Floors and cottage squeaky, so headphone/earplugs if you are a light sleeper.KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS: Functionally modern while rustic kitchen made it a breeze for meal prep! Bathrooms worked well, except for a slow filling second toilet.LAKE: Our family prefers a more sandy entrance into the water, and unfortunately there were lots of weeds off the dock for quite a ways out. So we took advantage of the fishing, paddleboat, and the SUP. Luckily, sandy beaches are only 30 minutes away!Overall, we had a very memorable time! Thanks, Dan!
