This cottage was spotless! It accommodated our family of nine very comfortably. The kitchen was so well stocked we didn’t use any of our own utensils or fry pans! The sandy beach area was ideal for our 4 grandchildren and the swimming area was nice and weed free. This one is a repeat visit!

We loved our time at the Sun Bay Cottage. We really appreciated having all the amenities of home. It was great that all the cupboards in the kitchen were labelled. The beach area was perfect for our little granddaughter to play in the sand and the water. The tented eating area outside was great for shade and the perfect place to play games at night. It was wonderful that the tent could be zipped up. The beds were very comfortable. The dock area was great for tying up our boat. We loved being able to boat to the local towns. Thanks for the great stay!

Great location and cottage!

We had another amazing week at the Sun Bay Cottage! The location is perfect and the kids played on the beach and in the water all day. The host is amazing and so easy to contact if you need anything, but since they have thought of everything you never need to contact them.

Beautiful location. Quiet for the Labor Day weekend - surprised and delighted by this! Loved getting into the water at the sandy shore (it was a bit cold so no swimming really). The kids ran in and out of the lake. We loved paddling the kids in the peddle boat. We saw toads, turtles, crawfish and a heron all around the cottage area. We also loved using the easy-to-use kayaks. We enjoyed the 'extras' left for us by our generous hosts. Larisa and David showed us around and their tips were very helpful. Because of a pump, the immediate area near the sandy shore was free of seaweed and reeds. The beds were comfortable and pretty much everything we needed was provided including a crib. (We didn't see a high chair.) There were lots of games for our grandkids aged 7 months - 6 years to play including a playset (slide, swings, mini house). One of our grandkids got a nasty sliver in his finger from the side deck so be careful on the wooden structures. We enjoyed making smores on the fire pit (ban was lifted just before our stay!). Overall, we just loved staying here. The views were great and it felt pretty private since so many cottages didn't seem occupied this weekend. I have nothing negative to say about our stay here. It is highly recommended. Thanks so much Larisa and David!

Great cottage!

We had a great time staying at Sun Bay Cottage! The whole family enjoyed the lakefront property and all the amenities it came with. We all enjoyed taking the kayaks on the water and making fires each night. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials which made the meal preparations so easy. Thank you Larisa! We had a great time and hope to be back next year!

Ideal getaway for all ages

Our stay at the cottage was fantastic! With a group of 8, including both adults and children, we enjoyed every moment. The property offered great water activities and a spacious yard perfect for kids. Nights by the fire pit were a highlight, and the comfortable, well-equipped home had everything we needed. A top-notch choice for families seeking a memorable retreat.

Went for a girls weekend and we really enjoyed the cottage. It is spacious with beautiful views of the lake. It is tucked away in a small inlet away from the busier parts of the lake. The owners were helpful and kind. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time at this amazing cottage. Lara provided an effective and concise orientation and was very attentive to any questions we had during our stay. We loved the nice grassy area for playing games, the outdoor gazebo with screens and a big table, and lots of other outdoor seating.

Amazing place to relax

Our second time here at the sun bay cottage. the hosts are so nice and keep the place very clean and comfy. Amazing for both adults and kids. the sand area is prefect to play in and the kayaks and paddle boards are perfect for some time on the water. The town is just around the corner and has fun activates all summer long.

Great stay!

You can tell Lara and David really care about their property and guests. Upon check-in, they gave us a tour which was very helpful in maintaining the property at a considerable standard. Lara and David were so warm and welcoming and their cottage is well-kept and clean. Our infant and toddler felt right at home (which isn't easy to do in an unfamiliar environment). We will absolutely stay here again. Definitely recommend!

Amazing property

Very clean and amazing property. Lots of space to play and replax. The fishing is really good right off the dock. Lots of sports equipment to play games with. The kayaks and paddle boat make it really easy and fun to explore the lake. The location is perfect, quite and secluded but also only 10 min away from 2 towns.

Perfect house for a large family group

The house and grounds were exactly as listed. Very well appointed, comfortable and roomy. We enjoyed being able to sit down together as a large group in the dining area. The deck and the yard leading down to the lake were spacious. The swimming was poor in spite of efforts to clear the weeds near the tiny beach and dock. It is the entire reason for a less than 5 rating. This is not the place for those that like to swim..

Amazing Vacation

This was our first time at Sun Bay Cottage and we could not have been happier. The place is wonderful, easy to get to and fully stocked with anything you could need. The location was so handy for quick runs into town or just for an outing, there are so many attractions around. The cottage is beautiful, the kids loved the swimming and building sand castles, the grass lawn was like walking on carpet. The hosts are amazing, they met us at check in and were available if we needed anything. They are truly ‘premier host’ and have thought of everything you might need. Can’t wait to go back.

A great spot to spend time with family

From the first communication to arrival any questions or queries were answered promptly. When we opened the door there was a view of the waterfront from the bay to right across the lake through a huge picture window. Fishing, swimming, and many hours of playing in the sand for a 3 and 6 year old. Large grassy front yard offered space for playing with many areas to sit and relax Coffee on the dock was beautiful and so peaceful Living space was spacious for 8 adults and 2 children and two bathrooms worked out just fine. Our hosts were kind, gracious and very accommodating. We would have no problem returning to such a lovely spot. Thank you Lara for all you did to make our family vacation a success!
