Great getaway location

We had an amazing time at St George’s Lake. The cottage itself is quaint but well equipped and nicely decorated. The location is great and dock though down some steps was really nice for afternoon sunbathing and swimming. Hope to come back next year

Million Dollar View

We enjoyed our stay on Sharbot Lake. The privacy and sun made our short stay a great experience. The owner did communicate with us regarding a broken step on the stairs to the dock, and it was something that was a bit of a challenge for my spouse who has a disability. That said, we're glad we stayed at the property and in fact, wish we could have stayed longer.

Cottage Retreat on a Quiet Lake

We stayed at this cottage over the Canada Day long weekend and really enjoyed it. The location is ideal for cyclists — it connects directly to the rail trails, which are in great condition and work well for all kinds of riding, whether you’re into endurance, gravel, or just out with the family.The lake is a great size — small enough to paddleboard across comfortably, but still big enough for jet skis and motorboats. With only a few cottages around, it stayed quiet and never felt crowded.One of the highlights was the large deck overlooking the water. Beautiful morning sunrises and a light breeze made it a great place to relax.Sharbot Lake is just a short drive or bike ride away along the rail trail. There’s a great local coffee shop with an ice cream window and a nice patio, plus a general grocer that has pretty much everything you might need. We didn’t get a chance to try any of the local restaurants, but they looked busy and had great outdoor patios — perfect for summer.Overall, a relaxing place with lots of outdoor options. Would definitely consider staying again.

Lake!

The communication with Andriy was excellent. We recieved a nice detailed note with everything we might need to know about our stay. VRBO had served us this stay when we did a filtered search for places with a hot tub and we saw one in the pictures. When we found the tub empty, we reached out to ask how to set it up, only to be informed that it didn't work. Andriy explained that they had never listed it as an amenity, and generously offered us a partial refund. I was grateful for the sincerity and transparency of the interaction. The place was very clean when we arrived. The sofa is not terribly comfortable, especially as a bed, but it was good enough. The proper bed was super comfy and what a treat it was to wake up to the gorgeous view over the lake. The grey decor felt quite out of place for a lakefront cabin, but the plaid blanket and cushions helped. My one big suggestion for the interior would be lamps: the ceiling full of undimable cool white pot lights was way too bright for my friend and me, and while we did figure out a solution for a comfortable light level, it wasn't great. The kitchen was also well-appointed, other than lacking a ladle, and having a dishwasher was so so appreciated! Finally, the location and setting are truly wonderful. Easy to access, super quiet, gorgeous lake views, animals and their tracks. I would absolutely recommend staying here and as long as you're not expecting cottage vibes, you'll be happy.

Quiet girls get away

Host was very responsive, amenities were listed accurately, small but cozy, perfect for two. Stayed in early November and the mice had definitely found a way into the cottage for the winter. We woke up on our first day to mice droppings in our bed and they had eaten some of the butter that we left on the counter

Great Stay at Morning Glory!

Amazing location/views, cozy, well equipped cottage, complemented by great communication with hosts Andriy & Olena! Only a 4 for cleanliness as upon arrival, we observed numerous “bug splatter” remanants visible throughout the cottage and unknown remnants in one of the garbage/recycling bins which led to many ants/fruit flies congregating in the kitchen area. We remedied this by giving both bins a full wash. As well, in what was an exceptionally hot and muggy week, another fan would have been welcome. That said, we still gave this property a 5 star rating as overall it was a great place to relax and enjoy the tranquil setting. We would definitely return to this fantastic property!
