We had a wonderful stay in this cottage. The beds were comfortable, the interior was very modern with all the amenities you would need, and out back you could sit under the trees with a nice breeze from the river. We were able to use the kayak and paddle boards and the water was nice and smooth. Would definitely recommend this place.

A February cottage stay requires a good fire and lots of wood..This had both.

We came to rest, to read and to unwind. It was perfect for our needs. Some good walking as well.

Great location and updated cottage property!

This cottage is well appointed, comfortable and there are thoughtful touches throughout - exactly as profiled. Lots of windows, decent dock and a great selection of outdoor seating lets you enjoy the waterfront from wherever you are. It's a pleasant walk or moderate paddle into Hastings. Hosts were very responsive. Simply a great, modernized cottage on the Trent.

Family getaway

Our family stayed for 4 days in summer- the cottage is really well appointed and we had absolutely everything we needed- even a playpen and chair for our baby! The property is perfect with lots of green space, chairs, loungers and areas for kids and adults alike. We did a lot of swimming and if you take the paddle board out it is perfect. We loved it and the hosts were so so nice and communicated really well. Highly recommend!!!

A great getaway!

My husband and I spent the Family Day long weekend in this cottage. We've been feeling burnt out lately and needed to just get away and rest. This cottage was everything we needed. It was the perfect size, had everything we needed and was very cozy. We had plans to take some winter walks, but really just enjoyed staying inside reading by the fire. We did end up going to a nearby skating rink which was very nice. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again and see it in all the other seasons. Winter was a great choice though!

A special time for us at a special place

We had a lovely stay at the cabin for a long overdue dad/daughter trip we try to do annually. We traveled from Florida and Chicago to spend some time in Toronto and then a few days on the beautiful Trent River. I have stayed at my share of VRBO’s but this one is one of the better of many. It is on a great property with a magnificent view, great waterfront, dock, plenty of outdoor seating along with kayaks and canoes if you are up for water sports or fishing. Inside the cabin is wonderfully decorated and accessorized. Great kitchen to cook in and a family room with woodburning stove as well. Plus a Fender acoustic guitar if you are worthy of some string time. The 3 bedrooms are comfortable with good beds and linens-- and if you have little ones, the one bedroom has bunk beds and plenty of toys and games to keep active ones happy. A covered sand box outside with fun toys is a real plus. My only regret is we didn’t book more time here but a date in the near future is coming soon. Thanks for a wonderful time!

The directions to the property and checking in were perfect. The property is right on the water so we could drink our coffee and watch the geese and mist in the morning. The cottage is nicely set out and it had everything that you would need. It was comfortable. Thanks for a great stay.

Great stay

We stayed at this property in early Oct. Property and Grounds were exactly as pictured in profile. Correspondence with host were easy and timely. House had all items one would need for their stay. Very nice dock with great views onto the lake. Lots of windows for great views from inside the house. The Weather wasn’t nice enough to take advantage of the water recreation items provided. Outdoor lighting was good for taking or dog out and night. Although there is no TV, good WIFI is provided, so just be prepared to entertain yourselves with non-TV activities. Hay, your on vacation do something different right. We would definitely recommend this property!
