It was our very first time to Algonquin. We enjoyed outdoor activities at the property on the first day, and stayed indoor for the last two days due to bad weather. We had lots of fun with Kayaking, canoeing, fishing, taking pictures, playing board games, playing Switch. The view of fall on the lake was fantastic. We even gave up visiting provincial parks nearby. It exactly like you enjoy painting pictures when you looked out the windows. The house warmed up quickly and evenly with floor heating and HRV. Very relaxing and comfortable staying. Definitely want to return there next year.

This cottage experience lived up to its pictures and description. Overall, it was a great time and fantastic getaway !
The cottage is really nicely appointed with many amenities, including all spices and cleaning supplies, linens and towels. As well as 4 bedrooms with a den/ sitting area in the bottom level with bunk beds for use. The location is great as well, and is nicely situated on the lake, with the sun deck facing west for a beautiful sunset over the lake. Kayaks and canoes are available for use, and there is a nice sundeck on the water with new swim pad just off shore. We loved the fire pit and the supply of firewood!
The only issue was the BBQ, this needs an upgrade, it struggled to get to 300 degrees. Besides this, everything was great. We would definitely come back!

The cottage and views are impressive. I won't repeat what are the positives are that others mentioned, but list a few negatives.
The listing says firewood is available and I connected with the host prior to confirm. The host confirmed it wasn't available and would try to provide some, which didn't happen. This was a big reason we picked the place, and we had to find wood in the area.
There is no sun umbrellas on the two decks on the water, or the two decks at the cottage, which made it a challenge to stay outside. Frankly I've never been at a cottage without these.
Lastly, there are two kayaks and one canoe which is great, however there were 2 kayak paddles, one which was ok and other was broken. No canoe paddles available. I did reach out and was told there should be canoe paddles. We looked to no avail.
