Girls Weekend
We had a great weekend. It was a girls weekend getaway. Cute cottage. I read previous reviews so we were prepared for somethings that are being updated /fixed. But it served our purpose. Being right on the water was amazing! Communication with owner was excellent!

Beautiful spot!
We had a fantastic time! The cottage is clean and kitchen is well stocked with cooking items. The water was perfect for fishing and swimming. The kids loved doing cannonballs off the dock. The sunsets were gorgeous. Only downside was that we had to bring our garbage home with us. If we could have left it in the shed or something that would have been a bit better than driving home with it in an already packed car. But it really didn’t affect our vacation. We had a great time at a great place and hopefully we will do it again!

Weekend Getaway
My family and I enjoyed 3 nights (4 days) on Chesley Lake. The view of the lake from the cottage, especially the sunsets, was stunning. It was fun watching people water-skiing and riding their sea-doos. The deck is large and a great place to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee. Our kids enjoyed fishing off the dock and making smores around the fire. The cottage was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The internet was reliable and the air conditioner cooled us off on a particularly warm night. The cottage is 20 minutes from Sauble Beach where we spent an afternoon. We were also able to book a tour to Flowerpot Island in Tobermory which is only an hour and 15 min drive away. All in all, we had a fantastic weekend.

Beautiful location, spent this much at better places though
First the positive: The cottage was very clean. The location was right on the water as shown, the lake was really beautiful and the fishing and water activities were quite enjoyable off the dock. Loved the sunsets. The neighbours did not bother us in any way and it was mostly quiet. I would suggest for this price range some things should be included that are not, to make the stay a lot more comfortable (a strainer if you want to wash anything, better pots/pans-nobody uses scratched Teflon anymore due to it being a health hazard, a new water unit- We ended up not using as older ones tend to grow mold and no way to know that unless you take it apart) Accuracy of listing- well it would have been nice to know everything prior to paying- starting with the correct address (the correct address was provided very close to arriving and so it caused us to spend some time looking for it once we were there) Secondly, being upfront with all the rules prior to paying like: asking the occupant to not flush urine, and not to use heat or AC was a bit cheap in my opinion given the price. It is a VACATION so no normally people don't like thinking twice about how often they flush and they might want some cool air if the temps go high. I know there have to be some rules, but these ones were over the top. If I had known about the rules I probably did not rent this property. Lastly, we are not very picky guests. The cottage could use upgrades but we didn't care about any of that except for the sliding door. We each got a really good arm and core workout opening and closing it about 100 times a day as the door sticks and is very hard to slide. There was no mosquito screen so we had to constantly fight with the door. The bbq is quite ancient and was quite dirty- we cleaned it off and used it somehow- if this is something you care about. We love good food so yes this was a detraction. When we were leaving, the owners arrived and seemed to be watching us leave- some of our group felt uncomfortable with that. Not sure why that was done but there was no friendly conversation it just felt like they wanted us out ASAP. It felt weird. Overall, we had a good time anyway, because we love nature, and don't really spend time inside, but having these inconveniences detracted a bit from the experience. The price is too high for a place that is bare bones, quite old, with nothing added for comfort or convenience, with no drinking water and apparently no AC or heat.

Nothing Fancy, But a Great Spot on the Water
This is a fine little cottage, nothing fancy from a building perspective, but the waterfront is awesome! You need to bring everything with you (no salt, pepper, toilet paper, etc provided), and you can’t drink the water, but the dock and waterfront make up for it, and as an added bonus, you have a great view of the sunset!

Great girls weekend!
We had a wonderful time on the lake! We unfortunately didnt have the warmest weather but we still got in that water! The peaceful morning coffees on the dock were my favourite part, so relaxing! We had a minor issue with the water upon checkin but the hosts had it fixed within the hour; they even took a group photo for us! Other then that everything was in working order and beds were comfortable. On the Saturday we celebrated a bachelorette. The proximity to Sauble Beach was perfect for this and the ceaser bar was phenomenal! Would book again.

Position on the lake is exactly as shown. The deck has a glorious view of the lake. I would encourage travelers to read and follow directions the owner provides in correspondence after booking. Just following GPS will NOT get you to the front door and it is very difficult to find without instructions. Clean and comfortable. Toaster didn't work and coffee pot super slow but we were quite pleased overall.

Wonderful Family Vacation
The cottage was absolutely perfect. We stayed here for our family vacation (2 adults, 4 kids). We loved the big wooden deck right on the lake! We spent most of our time out there. We enjoyed our morning coffee with the beautiful view of the lake. The kids fished everyday and caught lots of little fish right off the dock. The lake was wonderful to swim in. It was nice and deep right off the dock for lots of jumping. Every night there was an incredible sunset to watch and we enjoyed a campfire as well. There also was a park very close by to take the kids to play. The hostess was very nice, quick to reply to emails and very helpful. The neighbours were very friendly too! We would deffinetly book again!

Everything you need with a breathtaking view
This was a lucky find: a cottage that could sleep 6 on a small lake, 15 min. from Sauble Beach. The cottage had everything you would need (great sleeping conditions, kitchen, BBQ, etc.), with the added touch of an incredible sunset every night, and a deck you would not want to leave :) Wifi was a nice touch as well. Great communication with the owner, fast responses to questions, very helpful and courteous. All in all, a great experience. Highly recommended.
