We had a wonderful time at Earl & Linda’s beautiful home. The location on the water was perfect , the views were amazing & and the cottage was in exceptional condition. Everything that you could possibly need was on site , and the kitchen was spectacular. They obviously take a lot of pride in their home . And our little puppy had the time of her life on her first vacation !We would highly recommend that you try it out for yourself , and we plan to come back again !!

Three Generations Family Vacation

Our family enjoyed this lovely cottage with a large waterfront and sandy beach on a quiet bay on Lake Rosseau. Earl and Linda met us at the property and showed us everything we needed to know to enjoy ourselves. Everyone including our Portuguese Water Dog had an amazing week.

Best stay ever!

Our vacation took a wonderful turn, thanks to Earl and Linda! After arriving at a different property that was clearly owned by smokers, were relieved when they graciously offered their cottage to us at the last minute. Their property is absolutely stunning, the cottage was beautifully maintained, and everything was spotless. Earl and Linda even met us in person to walk us and give us a tour. It truly turned our rough start of a trip into something special, I can’t recommend this place enough!

Fun Family time

We had a great time for our first time as a family experiencing a cottage holiday at Earl and Linda’s. From first contact Earl was eager to make our 2 weeks a success! And it was. This cottage is just like described, a wonderful place to gather. So well stocked, beyond expectations! Showed us around upon arrival and easily reached with any questions. Highly recommend staying here. So much to do in the area. Many thanks from all of us.

The Cottage was lovely in a beautiful setting on Lake Rosseau. I had told the host that we would be bringing a wake surf boat. He did tell me that the boathouse would be too shallow, but we could dock it at the end of their dock. The water was actually less than 3 feet deep at the end of the dock so we had to rent a slip at Minett. We experienced some disruptions during our three week stay. The host told me before our rental that we would be without power and water for one day because he was having a generator installed. Unfortunately, the installation took longer than we were told and we were without power and water for over 10 hours. We had a further disruption the following day when his gas fitters arrived early morning to connect the propane tank to the generator. We had a third disruption when the host contacted me midday to advise me that his property was for sale and that he wanted me to allow a showing because it was the only time possible that the perspective purchasers could see it. Needless to say, these disruptions affected our vacation. I tried to be very understanding and accommodating. I was disappointed with our hosts communications with me afterwards.

Lovely cottage

All of us loved being at your place. The cottage is stunning, with so many amenities and a lot of towels for the kitchen, bathing and the beach; the property so beautiful and tranquil, from any direction, nicely secluded; the bonfire pit with all the wood by the water was really special. The beach was clean with a nice bottom; the paddle boat and kayaks were fun and really nice to have. And loved the availability of different chairs throughout the property to move

Excellent location! The cottage feels fresh and new from the moment you walk in. It’s very spacious, spotlessly clean, and the fully equipped kitchen made it easy to cook and enjoy meals together. We loved the extra touches like kayaks, canoes, and other amenities that gave us plenty to do. Even though it rained for three days, we still had a wonderful time both relaxing indoors and enjoying the waterfront whenever the weather cleared.The setting is quiet and peaceful, yet just a 20-minute drive to Port Carling where we found great shops, restaurants, and plenty to explore. It’s the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and nature. We would definitely return!

Beautiful stay on Rosseau

Such a beautiful property on a little slice of heaven! We had a fabulous weekend and Earl and Linda were great to deal with with lots of personal recommendations, nice tour and accessible for questions etc. We left a 4-star for accuracy only because a hottub was listed on posting but there isn’t actually a hottub. Everything else was perfection and 100% would love to return next season!

Lovely property

The cottage is clean, newly built, comfortable and tastefully furnished. The location is outstanding, with good walking and swimming and proximity to groceries and restaurants. Earl and Linda went out of their way to make sure the cottage was stocked with everything you could possibly need which made the vacation pleasant and stress free. The only downside about the cottage itself is that the bedrooms are a little small but still comfortable. I would have given five stars across the board but for the fact that there was noisy construction right across the road from Tuesday to Saturday starting at 8 am, which disrupted the peace of our vacation.

Wonderful Fall Weekend

The cottage is beautiful and well situated on a peaceful lake. It has spacious and well equipped. living/kitchen area. The bedrooms are well laid out and comfortable and the bathrooms are luxurious. Since it is Autumn we enjoyed using the wood burning fireplace. The area is great for walking and running and it is a nice drive to Port Carling to look through shops and pick up groceries. It was lovely to sit on the deck and watch the sunset and there were kayaks, paddle boards and a canoe for our use. Our university aged daughter enjoyed using the bunkie as her study! Our hosts were wonderful. We hope to return next year!
