Based on the VRBO listing, we expected more for this property for what we paid than what we got. The cottage advertised that it slept eight people. This is a stretch because of the size of the cottage. The add-on room which is supposed to be considered a sleeping area is in the main room beside the kitchen, so not really functional as a sleeping area for two people. The listing should’ve said that it slept six. We love Lake kawagama. We felt that we didn’t get to enjoy enough of the lake because of the very long and somewhat dangerous walk to the dock from the cottage. It’s not a walk that you would want to make too many times in one day. It’s not safe for anybody with the physical mobility issues or small children. The property manager was excellent and answered all of our questions while we were there. The dock is amazing. The water was fun to swim in and we had easy access to the lake for our boat. The Adirondacks and umbrella on the dock were nice to have. We had all the amenities we needed, though the cottage was a little rough in spots. Some of the windows didn’t open or had holes in the screens. Again for the amount we paid we thought we would get a little bit better quality.

This cottage is beautiful, located on a lake, with a spectacular view.
The hosts are very responsive and amazingly sympathetic.
Everything was clean, as described.
Maybe just take into consideration the necessity to have winter tires (as a minimum) to access the cottage with downhills and uphills that could be very tricky with ice and snow. But it's worth it !
We were 7, so maybe 7 chairs could be better to all sit on the beautiful wooden table, and maybe 7 towels also.
If you consider working a bit, the wifi may be a bit too slow as it sometimes stops. We sadly couldn't use Netflix properly.
But the wood stove and the view are enough to enjoy evenings.
Highly recommended.

Our family decided to have a New Years' get away from the loud city and spend a weekend for the New Year up north in a cottage. We have found a very nice cottage in a very secluded area that has met the criteria. The view from the cottage is spectacular. The sun would rise and warm your heart. In the evening we would spend the time by the fireplace and drink our hot chocolate. I would very much recommend this place to stay and have your own getaway from the noisy cities.

The home was spotless! It had every kitchen utensils you could ask for! The view was out of this world! The mattresses and pillows were very comfortable. It is set in the woods, which we loved!

Beautiful cottage, with many thoughtful touches.
Comfortable, spotlessly clean and welcoming with wonderful views from the inside and outside.
We had a perfectly relaxing week. Spent the days swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and relaxing on the various outside sitting areas. And the evenings barbecuing, stargazing and sitting by a fire.
The host was accommodating and quick to respond to questions.
Our stay couldn’t have been better and we look forward to coming back soon.
Thank you for everything, Ryan!

Great winter getaway
The cottage was a great home for our weekend winter getaway. The host Ryan was very helpful and provided tips for getting to the property in rough winter conditions. It was very quiet and private, with great views of the lake. Overall we had a great trip!

We had a great experience staying at this cottage. It’s located in a lovely wooded area right on a lake, and the host was friendly helpful and easy to reach. They provide everything you need and the wood stove is a nice touch! They even left a Christmas tree up , which my 2 year old (and myself if I’m honest) , were pleased to see! We’re definitely considering booking for the summer when we can swim off the dock and use the kayaks !

It was great cottage in a fantastic and beautiful area. Very clean and well-maintained, with a welcoming touch. It had everything we needed for our week-long stay (bedding, kitchen appliances and tools, etc.). The owners were very nice, and provided detailed instructions covering everything you could need. Especially on how to get there – very clear directions!
Definitely recommend this cottage!

This well appointed cottage is on White Trout Bay. The lake is quiet and scenic, and the cottage has everything you need. We particularly enjoyed using the kayaks and pedal boat. We're already planning to return next summer.
