We just got back from our week at the cottage. It was perfect for our family of 5. We all needed the down time and the time together just us and this cottage provided that. The quiet and the views were spectacular. We had the whole lake to ourselves! Sunsets are breathtaking. The cottage was clean and has everything you would need and the hosts are very responsive. We always rent cottages but this is the first time I said I would want to come back to this one.

I had three main criteria when looking for a vacation rental:
1. pet friendly;
2. on a lake; and
3. private with few or no neighboring properties.
This cottage provided all three.
We enjoyed our time down on the dock and on the water, as well as sitting on the deck listening to the Loons and watching the beautiful sunsets.
We left the cottage only a few days to make a quick trip into Havelock to pick up some items we forgot or ran out of. Every person we met in town was friendly and welcoming. I wish we had been able to extend our stay so we could explore the surrounding area we originally planned.
Chandra was a pleasure to work with and was quick to respond to my questions.

We had an incredible stay at this property. Beautiful spot with the privacy we wanted but also close enough to town to make quick stops in. Chandra was very helpful for check in and throughout our stay. The cottage faces west, so beautiful sunsets every night and great swimming all day. We will definitely be staying again!

We had a lovely stay at this well appointed cottage at a beautiful, quiet and nature filled location. Cottage was a perfect space for my family which included 2 couples a single person and the family dog. No complaints whatsoever!! We swam, kayaked and watched the family of Loons everyday. We all had a great time. We will be returning next year for sure!!

This is a truly lovely place for anyone who appreciates quiet and nature. The lake is lovely and the little 'beach' was perfect for my 6-year-old granddaughter. The house has everything you need and is very comfortable. Strongly recommended.

My partner and I were looking for a quiet nature retreat where we could forget about city life and work, and this place fit the bill nicely. We were a bit reluctant at first due to the distance, but luckily I enjoy driving and the 7 and it’s little towns is always a pleasant route. The cottage was great. A cute mix of modern furnishings with some mid-century flair thrown in to give it that country feel. We spent a lot of time on the main deck, enjoying the views of the lake, the many loons, and the variety of birds visiting the bird feeder. We brought our kayaks and had a few paddles around the lake, which is small but very quiet. We didn’t see a soul our entire week’s stay! We were lacking nothing when it came to amenities! Modern kitchen with everything we needed, big screen TV with internet, nice big couch to chill on, even some smores and wine! The odd hiccup we had during our stay we resolved without issue, and the host was quick to respond promptly to all questions. Nature was mostly kind to us, as the forecast was originally calling for rain most of the week, but it changed and we only had rain for 1.5 days. The one downside were the bugs, but welcome to rural Canada in July. LOL. The provided A/C units in the bedrooms were a nice relief against the few nights of heat, but were mostly not needed with the plentiful windows to open for cross-breeze. With Havelock being only minutes away, it was a convenient spot to pop in for any missing items, or just to get in your Pokemon Go fix. 😉 FYI, Woody’s buger’s are amazing! And they have glutten free buns for those in need. All-in-all we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this wonderful little gem to anyone.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cottage. Close to Havelock for any forgotten items, lots of options for enjoying the quiet - multiple decks, dock, fire pit, hammock or floating on the lake. Only a few cottages so always good for a tranquil paddle. Highly recommended.

The cottage is well kept and well equipped with all the necessary amenities. It's very private, has a great Lakeview and we would rate it as five-star accommodation. The host is friendly and replies to any questions in a timely and helpful manner.
