About this cottage rental

“Tall Pines” is an updated cosy cottage built in the 1960’s situated on a peninsula. It is an ideal cottage for a family of 5 or 6, comfortably sleeping 4 adults. The cottage overlooks a bay and has its own private dock for fishing, swimming and relaxation. The cottage also has a lovely deck out front that can be used for relaxation and meals. There is a fire pit with benches on the point of the property. The cottage comes with a barbecue, paddle, row boat, small kayake and canoe. It is an excellent location for children, as the water is quite shallow along the shore and in the bay, and can also be weedy . This area is very popular for fishing. There is parking for several cars next to the cottage. The cottage has a double bed, a queen bed and bunk beds. It comes with a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with shower and working fireplace. There is also an old bunkie farther down the property with a double bed. Please note that Bruce and I have an island property, 10 minutes away by boat. We use Tall Pines as our road access to the Island Cottage and we assure you that we come and go very quickly and will cause very little disruption. We also use the parking area for ourselves and guests to our island cottage, plus we dock our boat in the boat shelter off the property.

The property is as described , it is a cottage on a beautiful point of a bay back of the lake. The fire pit is on the point to enjoy the outside. There is a fireplace for warmth inside if needed. The lake has excellent fishing and has islands all over and lots of wildlife and was a great stay for me.

Loved our stay at Tall Pines! A very cosy and traditional cottage with lots of character. Reminded us of our family cottages from years ago. Peaceful, beautiful surroundings to gaze at from the deck with a morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail. Did not want to leave. Thank you!

I immediately fell in love with Tall Pines. It is exactly as described. A well cared for, clean and comfortable cottage with spectacular views. The waterfront is perfect for canoeing, kayaking and swimming or for just sitting and drinking in the beauty of nature. I loved having my morning coffee on the deck in the sun. The fireplace and outdoor fire pit are wonderful perks. Situated on a natural peninsula, there is plenty of privacy. Lee and Bruce were excellent hosts, friendly and responsive. I enthusiastically recommend this gem!

We had a great time - canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking, some little swims, campfires, sunbathing 😀 The washroom was nice and new and the kitchen had everything we needed. We also enjoyed the vintage games, books and movies!

We were all disappointed with the bay of water. Not possible to swim. The use of a paddle boat and canoe, was helpful.

We had the time of our life. We rented the cottage to unwind and go hiking. Oh boy did we unwind. The veranda is simply heaven. You come out in the morning with a coffee and look over the lake. The location is amazing. We are not really water sport people but we used the canoe and the paddle boat and did a few loops around the nearby islands. The cottage has everything you need. Brand new bath room, fully equipped kitchen, even books and games. Its so cosy and homey, you don’t want to leave. Everything was very clean. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. Thanks Lee and Bruce.

The cottage was well equipped with all the comforts of home - including a tv and vhs tapes to watch when the weather turned. My kids loved swimming and exploring the property. The wildlife was amazing! Couldn’t ask for a more beautiful location. The managers were very easy to talk to and addressed any questions or concerns we had.

Location was great for a quiet getaway. Cottage has been partially renovated after storm damage last year. Bathroom is new. We enjoyed relaxing on the screen porch - our favourite spot to do jigsaw puzzles and listen to birdsong. Water has some weeds, so we did not swim, but we are not big swimmers anyway. We enjoyed canoeing - the location is perfect for that. Host was very friendly, and quickly dealt with any issues that came up. We would definitely consider coming back next year. Unfortunately we cannot recommend vrbo to anyone, as we had numerous problems with them, but once we were able to communicate with the host directly everything turned out fine.
