The owners were really nice, the location was close to everything you would need, it was close to multiple beaches, and the property was amazing! It's located right on a quiet lake that you can float on, boat on, and even paddle around. This property is definitely a gem if you're looking for a laid back lake vacation.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay. The property was super clean, beds were comfortable and the lakefront property is outstanding! We had a great time hiking and birding in the area, and spending lazy afternoons by the lake. We loved the patio and even took the rowboat for a spin. Gary and Kristin are hospitable hosts - we will stay again if our travels bring us back to the area.

This was the perfect get away location for us. The owners went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Home was very clean, plenty of towels and kitchen needs. The views are so peaceful and it was fun to hang out at the lakefront during the day. The paddle boat was a bonus, as were games to play on a rainy day. We will definitely return.

Very clean and nice place for our 3 person family! We enjoyed fishing off the pier and caught lots of fish and used the paddle and row boat! Gary was very nice and helped us empty the water in the water in the boats from the thunderstorm the night before AND he even went out and bought us bait for fishing (which was not expected at all). An additional plus, they provided firewood (and fire starters) for us to have a fire one evening. Thank you for a fun filled family weekend get-away!

Loved the location and the activities.

I had 3 teenagers and myself. We all loved everything. We only left once for groceries. The lake, row boat, paddle boat, kayak, corn hole and hammock was the kids favorites. So glad I brought fishing rods too. The kids loved fishing even with just hotdogs and a hook they caught lots of fish. Very clean and the host Gary and his wife were wonderful.

Family getaway

Overall a really nice house. Convenient location, nice size beds, clean & tidy, good refrigeration & air, with a comfortable couch. However, no apps on the tv worked, noisy maintenance on neighbors home early morning, had live TV but basic channels, lake is not meant for swimming(was our main reason for lakeshore choice home-lots of fish). Very beautiful outside! Loved the porch swing, extremely peaceful. Scenery was breathtaking during the stay which is all worth it.

Chelsea thank you so much for you kind and approving review! I’m so sorry for your troubles with the TV, I have replaced the TV with a brand new Samsung TV so our future guests can enjoy all the apps and our 200 Chanel cable package. Also I do want to apologize for our neighbor scheduling home improvements during your stay. Also based on your review I have hired a landscaper that has added a sandy beach area for better access to the lake. I will be sending you a partial refund for your stay for these inconveniences. Again thank you for your stay here at On the Shores of Algonquin and you are welcome back anytime!

Had a wonderful time!

This is a great place if you want a peaceful, relaxing vacation. Owners lived on site but respected our privacy. Communication was excellent! We enjoyed the paddleboat and watching the swans on the lake every day. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were great! The place is kept very clean and nicely decorated. We had all the towels and kitchen supplies we needed. The town of Hastings is close and we enjoyed all the cool shops and restaurants. We went on the day of the Farmers Market in the downtown market square! Love Hastings! We also visited Lavender Life Farm which is Awesome!! And only a few miles away. Thank you Gary and Kristin for a wonderful getaway!!

Deb, thank you for such an awesome review - VRBO has made a mistake in saying I would not rent to you again - but I would for sure rent to you again - they said they cannot fix this issue on their end so I thought I better send this note to say I’m sorry for the confusion and will offer you a 25% discount if you choose to say with us again! VRBO customer support is like all off site customer support - less than adequate
