Rest & Recharge

What can I say… this cottage is cozy and relaxing. A corner cottage with the best views of the lake. The sunroom was the perfect play area for my 11 month old without feeling like she was inside. The outdoor shower and sauna are a must experience and their located right on the property! Mo and Andy are the perfect hosts and I can’t recommend this place enough. I look forward to my family’s return in the fall.

Great location, Shopping and dining all are in walking distance. Lots of activities for free, like canoe, kayak, paddle boat. And motor boats for rent as well . The water shoreline is so beautiful. The only downside is internet speed is kind of slow.

Nice location

The location of the cottage is well positioned right by the water. could have a fire while being feet from the waters edge. The pontoon boat was nice once we ran it around for a while to get it warm. Didn't catch a lot of fish but we need to ask around to find out where they are. We were there in later May and it was Cold and wet but it looks like it might be a nice place to go when the water is warm.

Amazing!!

I’m not a person that leaves reviews, actually this is my first one but I couldn’t not say anything. Every single thing was more than great! Staff is more than nice and welcoming. Place is just like on the pictures. We were there on weekdays and it was so quiet and peaceful. Perfect time to escape from the city and enjoy the nature. All staff members are great human beings . It was a pleasure meeting them. We will be back for sure and we would recommend this place for everyone who wants to book it!! All the best for you guys and see you soon

Great end of season get away

Has a great cottage feel but is still close to amenities. The Shearer has a panoramic view of the lake from the screened in porch. It is very convenient to have 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. Everything worked properly. There are lots of activities available ie: Kayaks, play ground, volleyball etc In an effort to make you guests stay even more pleasurable more detailed cleaning would be recommended. Suggestions to provide the following could be helpful to your guests. A vaccum of floor mop, clock. Cutlery, mugs and wine glasses to meet the capacity of the cottages adult guests.
