The only downfall to this property, was the fact we only booked it for one week. It was peaceful, tranquil and an absolute enjoyment to stay there. We would highly recommend it to anyone coming to this region.

The host is great, the place is very clean and the big thing for me is that the BBQ is still out, there are a couple of great butcher shops in the area so staying at a place that has a BBQ all winter is a great draw for me.

Cottage was very clean and inviting. Host was very responsive to requests. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed her stay! Close to shopping for essentials. We were very satisfied, and would return. The barbecue should be upgraded - we were nervous to test it as it looked old. Everything else was very good!

Very nice view. There were a couple of problems, the BBQ was very dirty and flamed up really bad, lights burnt out on the deck and no toilet paper.

Relaxing getaway

This was our second time at this property. We liked it so much last year that we had to go back. Beautiful and peaceful property right on the lake. Enjoyed watching and listening to the loons and other wildlife. The cottage is well equipped, clean and comfortable. We spent most of our time outside. Lots of space for the four of us and our two dogs.

Perfect cottage getaway

Perfect getaway in a friendly cottage community. We spent most of our time enjoying the outdoor space - on the deck overlooking the lake or at the lakeside fire pit. Loved watching the loon family on the lake. Very peaceful and beautiful surroundings. The cottage itself was very clean, nicely decorated, comfortable and had a well equipped kitchen. Felt newly renovated with lots of extra added touches. Close to the trailhead for Little River Falls. Feels remote but only 15 minutes to New Minas. Would definitely go back.

We enjoyed the spot, and the cottage. We were VERY disappointed that this was advertised as a 2 bathroom cottage. It is 1 bathroom, with an outhouse toilet! We booked specifically due to the fact it was supposed to be 2bath, 2 bedroom. No where in the information did it say that the second bath was only an outside toilet with no sink or shower. Also disappointed with the hosts reply, when I emailed her!!
