This cottage is perfect! We loved the drive up and being surrounded my nature. The hosts were very responsive and kept us up to date. The community is also lovely- a neighbour saw our daughter trying to kayak and offered to lend her a child sized one. Absolutely beautiful property with everything you need.

Thank you for your kinds words, we are thrilled you enjoyed your stay!
Clean and organized and very well stocked with all of the essentials. Beautiful and modern and was a breath of fresh air to be able to stay in a cozy, modern cottage and feel at home the minute we walked in. The host of the cottage was amazing to deal with. This is a true Gem!
