The photos don't really don't do this place justice. The front garden is lovely. The house was very clean. The kitchen has a good amount of pots, pans, knives, and everything else you need to cook. The location is wonderful (the lake is warm and shallow and the water is very clear and the hiking trails are close, well maintained, and lead to some amazing views). The hosts communicate well. We would definitely stay here again.

Felt like going to a friend's! Clean, rustic and overall great experience.We stayed with my wife, friends of the family and our dogs. The water was a bit too cold for humans but our dogs loved it! Plan on going back next year if possible!

Amazing property and hosts! For my family’s first time summer cottage experience, this was it! Thank you for making this trip unforgettable!

Great time on the lake! We lucked out with beautify weather and enjoyed a swim every day. The cottage is rustic, but met all of our needs and more. It feels like a place that has really been lived in and loved for many years, which is really what we were looking for. Beds were comfortable and plentiful. Outdoor living space was great and indoor space was really comfortable but rarely needed. The garden is a joy with a little pond where our kids spent many trips to check the status of the frogs. We went kayaking and swimming daily off a little sandy beach. There wasn’t a space where I would feel comfortable diving into the water. The lake is a busy summer spot, so expect motor boats especially on weekends.Owners arranged an easy check-in with clean spaces. We walked in to jazz music playing on an Alexa for us and bottles of wine on the kitchen table. Kitchen is really quite well stocked (even a well seasoned cast iron skillet!) - only thing we didn’t see were any containers for leftovers. Plenty of towels and other necessities. If the lake isn't enough, the village of La Minerve is 15 min drive where there is a library, playground, pickle ball, and tennis as well as a bakery and patisserie, groceries, restaurant. 1km from the cottage is the entrance for a 5km round trip hike to a view point over Lac Maeve - so easy our 5 year old was able to do it all by herself! Plenty of ATV trails nearby as well so I had plenty of trail options for a jog. Would definitely recommend!
