Fall getaway

It was my sister and I that stayed at the cottage for a week at the end of September. The cottage was small and cozy, which is what we like. We had a beautiful week of great weather and we loved the fact that the cottage was on a wetland. We like to swim if we can, but we enjoyed the water fowl very much. Geese and ducks and even herons. It was a very pretty spot. We arrived a little early and the owner was still there and it was very nice to meet her. A great stay all around. Judy.

This was our first experience of renting a cottage. An awesome experience and has certainly set the bar high for any other future choices! The kitchen was a huge surprise to make some great meals. Such a warm and inviting property. Great memories for sure!!!

Beautiful place

What a cosy, comfortable place! We enjoyed the lake, the cottage, and the surrounding area to explore. The cottage is a real "home away from home". Details in the cottage give the impression of someone taking the time and thought to make you feel 'at home'. Thank you for a wonderful place! We hope to be back! Thank you Liz and Jane!

Another Successful Retreat

This was our third year visiting this lovely cabin with all the needed modern necessities. Always clean and welcoming, our get away was peaceful, and hassle free. Loved having a canoe to use and a well stocked kitchen for the best meals. We will return.

Quiet relaxing little spot

We loved our stay! The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed for our trip away. Morning visits from the hummingbirds and the evening visits from the bats were really cool to see. If you're planning on doing any real fishing you’ll want to bring your own boat however, although my 3yr old daughter did reel in her first fish! Ask about the shared swimming spot too. I found that info out from the neighbor but not until our last night. Great spot to get away
