We rented this cabin for a girls weekend . The property was as advertised, rustic. But the water frontage , dock, location was beautiful. The correspondence with the property owner was seem-less . Water is not potable but the water coolers were convenient. Excellent outdoor space which was precisely what we wanted !

Perfect cabin for a guys trip, I went early September and the fishing sucked, could have just been the time of year though.

Nice quiet property, large grassy area, large shaded area. Easy access to Lakefield. Cottage is old, but in good repair. It is dark inside, with little outside light getting in. Makes for a cool cottage on the hottest days, but difficult to do anything in the cottage. Biggest negative is the lack of place to swim as shore is quite reedy.

Lovely property and landscape. The cottage was exactly that - a cottage! Quaint and cozy, but with (almost) everything you need. FYI - BYO-coffee maker! The docks and fire pit were spacious and well cared for. Would recommend!

We enjoyed our stay overall. The weather wasn’t great. The scenery and dock area are great. Nice quiet location and my dog absolutely loved the place. Was able to wonder leash free and dive into the water whenever he wanted lol. Now for the bad 😕. Wasn’t the cleanest place. The shower was nasty…used it once over the course of 3 nights (yuck). Lots of dust bunnies and the ceiling fan was furry lol. If I’m charged $125 for cleaning, should be clean. The house is super old, but it’s a cottage. Swimming is not good at all…seaweed has overwhelmed the area. Overall was a decent stay.

Had a hard time finding the spot, adam(owner) was very easy to get a hold of, and pointed us in the right direction! Beautiful area with nice neighbours, the place was clean and comfortable. Had an amazing weekend there!

Let me start with the good. The property is right on the lake! we had a great time relaxing by the lake and not doing much. Now lets start with the bad. - Instructions to get here were abysmal. We ended up about 40kms away based on what the VRBO's map listing told us - nails sticking out of home in various places. - no working shower for the first day (When asked about it, the owner said "this is cabin life") - A paddleboat was advertised in the listing. We tried it out and it sank in the lank while we were on it. I have my own kayak which I used for a rescue mission on the people and the sunken boat. - BBQ Grill was very dirty/filled with grease buildup - took an hour to clean - spiderwebs in every corner - black mold in corner of the fridge - didn’t give clear instructions regarding garbage: on the door instructions said to take with you and we had to drive to the city with large garbage bags in overpacked cars. 1 hour after we left the owner said that we could leave garbage in the cabin (packed)
