Great location Perfect spot for us as we spent our days here geocaching in the area. Everything is as advertised. Super comfy and cozy. Not a lot of restaurants in the area so we planned to eat in and the kitchen had everything we needed. Including a dishwasher - yay!! Clean and well equipped. Nice and quiet. FYI - be sure to bring your own paper products. No paper towels or tissues and 1 roll of TP for a 3 night stay. We would come back to this location.

Fall Getaway
Just what we needed. A very comfortable home in scenic surroundings. Perfect getaway for the fall. Close to small towns, country roads and we loved the Studio tours. The cottage had great beds and the kitchen was fully equipped. Christine our hostess was in touch and very friendly. We will definitely add this cottage to our must return list. Cheers.

Amazing host and location
My wife and I plus another couple stay for 1 week to go ATVing and kayaka fishing. Even thou the hobby house is not on the lake, you have access to multiple lakes just minutes away. We had a power outage on evening and Christine was there ASAP to get the generator going. Christine was super easy to talk too.

Fantastic Getaway
What a great little gem. Went here with 2 girlfriends for a girls weekend and the place was perfect. Extremely well stocked kitchen with a double oven. This made making cooking our meals easy. Great hiking trails in the neighbourhood as well as some right in the back yard. 2 very comfortable beds and the couch was also extremely comfortable if you want a third place to sleep. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Great gem!
We loved our stay at this cute gem of a cottage. This cottage is well appointed with supplies for all your needs. It has lots of character and you would never guess this cottage is over 125 years old. The thermostatically controlled propane stove kept us nice and warm and the bed was comfortable. The living room furniture was cozy to lounge around on while enjoying the fire and TV. We brought our dog and there was lots of room for him to wander. Christine was great to communicate with and answered promptly to any questions we had. We have already booked another stay!
