We had a wonderful family vacation at Bobs Lake Paradise! Everything from the cottage to the grounds were exactly as pictured and described. The setup was perfect for adults, children, and dogs. Thank you for having us! We’re already planning our next family vacation to Bobs Lake Paradise :)
Bob's Paradise is a near perfect getaway. We went with another family. 2 couples and 3 adult children. Clean, comfortable, nice bathrooms. Great kitchen. Lakefront area was stunning. Great birdwatching. Water toys, kayaks were in perfect condition. The lake was quiet, not many boats. Host was attentive and helpful. We were sad to leave! THANKS !
A! This is definitely the best cottage we've rented in the Westport area over the past few years! The property and all of the rooms are a generous size. We really enjoyed the games room, deck, docks, boats and the campfire pit.
Wonderful family weekend at Bob’s Lake Paradise. Plenty of different spots to take in the beauty of the lake and enjoy the company of others. Large open yard gave children and pets room to play. Always lots of action in the games room. Private ensuite bathrooms off of all but the children’s room was a plus.Thank you Forest for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy Bob’s Lake Paradise!
The only thing more spectacular than this property was the responsiveness of the host. Throughout our wonderful experience our host was caring without being intrusive. The only time we met was at our request to deal with a small problem that required him to visit and even then he politely requested our consent for him to visit.All enquiries were answered within a few minutes.The property was exceptional in every way. We travelled from Calgary to be there and reconnect with family.It was a perfect venue for rain or shine.On one day we hosted 4 generations of our family for a small reunion which included our 101 year old matriarch who loved it!The experience and the treatment by the host inspired us to leave it as clean as we could and was the topic of discussion numerous times during the long drive home to Calgary.
9 adults, one grandson, and two dogs all had a great time. It's so hard to find a nice cottage that can handle all of us, especially the dogs, but this one certainly did. The views of Bob's lake from the dock are amazing and the sandy beach and protected bay is perfect for swimming and paddle boarding.
Vacation with kids and grandkids. Great location on Bob’s lake with beautiful cottage. Satisfied all requirements for 10 people of mixed ages. Able to dock boat for tubing at cottage and the downstairs had a games room for evening entertainment.
Wonderful, magical vacation at Bob’s Lake. This property and location are a dream come true. We have so many great memories! And Forest is an excellent host!
We were completely impressed with the property and the location of the cottage. We have gone to few other locations and this one by far was the best with the cottage itself and the lake. We would spend every day on the dock and enjoy the lake as access was great since you had a sandy entrance with little amount of weeds. Would definitely consider staying here again.
My family's weekend stay at this cottage was wonderful. The property has everything you could ask for, and the children loved the outdoor playground, and getting out on the lake. It didn't hurt to wake up in the morning to that gorgeous view, either! Our only regret was that we hadn't booked a longer stay - would definitely return for another visit!
This place was amazing. Spacious, comfy beds, stocked kitchen. Best part was the dock! The water is crystal clear. Lots of space to play games outside. The host was very accomodating and friendly. Will definately come back. One thing is bring ice and other items as the closest store is about 20 min away.
Very nice cottage and property, very clean! Forest is very nice and the neighbours are also very friendly. Lots of fun!

Thank you Anthony for keeping my cottage very clean, turning off all the lights, locking the doors and being friendly to my neighbors. It is my honor to host you and your friends. I will definitely welcome you back.
This property is amazing and perfect for large families. I could just imagine a nice xmas dinner or Thanksgiving dinner overlooking the beautiful view of the lake from the large cathedral windows.
This cottage was very well equipped, organized and very clean. Forest was a great host and am definitely recommending this cottage.

Lyne is so amazing customer ! Will be my pleasure to host you again! Yes it is great for Holiday celebrations here. We had Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners last year here with several other families and it was very impressed to everybody!
It is a beautiful property, with plenty of room for all of the family. We were a group of 6 adults, one toddler and two dogs, room for all to gather and have their own space when desired. Forest was great communicating with us, and all is as it shows in the pictures. Lots of outdoor seating both on the deck and another deck on the lake, perfect for relaxing. We were there for 7 nights, and enjoyed all it had to offer. Don't hesitate on this one!
