Relaxing Getaway

A refreshing environment to recharge and disconnect. We loved the lake, balcony and hiking trails nearby. Lots to explore in the local Frontenac area. The BBQ and full kitchen made things super easy and provided everything we needed and more. The cottage itself is cute and the private walk down to the lake serene. Overall a great a place to relax.

Restorative respite

We stayed at this lovely cottage and had a wonderful, relaxing time before we were called home early due to a family emergency. The host was exceptionally compassionate and generous and refunded us for the portion of our stay that we missed. If I could give 6 stars, I would.

Exactly as advertised. This cabin and property is beautiful. Everything was immaculately clean and organized. The cottage was well-stocked with appliances, dishes, cutlery, cookware, towels, blankets, and games. They even had a water cooler! Everything we could possibly need was taken care of. We had an incredible time paddling on Cronk lake and fishing off the dock. I can't say enough good things about this beautiful cottage. We are so grateful and hope to get the opportunity to stay here again.

Beautiful property, peaceful relaxing, private, amazing view from the back deck. Everything you need to make dinner, or BBQ. No service or internet but it's good to unplug for a few days. Pictures don't do it justice, the inside is much larger than we initially thought. Swimming off the dock is easy as well
