Overall, 2 weeks of quality family time. The cottage had everything! The location is great, on a relatively quiet lake. The host added little extras (snacks, lots of coffee). The kitchen was well equipped (just could use a long-handled BBQ basting brush, ha!). Excellent wi-fi bandwidth (teen social media and gaming well supported!). Multiple enclaves around the lake-side property for scenic variations and peace or party.
We needed a spot halfway between Brockville and Lindsay and this cottage was perfect. Beautifully decorated, very clean and spacious. Very well stocked with everything you need plus a few extra additions as a bonus (medical basket, back-up bathroom accessories, some pantry items). Very responsive and friendly hosts. All in all a wonderful experience. We will definitely stay here again.
From booking to checkout, the experience was perfect. Cathy is beyond lovely and very responsive to all our questions and requests. The property is perfect. Its close to neighbours but you would never know. It feels very secluded and peaceful. Cathy really thought of every little detail. The front yard is big enough to play some soccar or set up a badminton net. The backyard is truly heaven. There is a large enough space for big groups but also plenty of small seating areas if you want to do your own thing. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants some time away in paradise.
We had a wonderful time at this charming cottage for a recent wedding weekend. The spacious layout and well-equipped kitchen made it perfect for our family gathering. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a cozy and convenient base for a family event.
We had a lovely time, the house is beautiful the location on the lake is perfect! The swimming was amazing the large decks and sitting areas made our stay soo enjoyable! They have everything you need to eat drink and be merry!! Thank you thank you!!!
This property truly is stunning. The lake is wonderful, and the cottage is so well-equipped. They have truly everything you need and more. The hosts were incredibly communicative and helpful. Thanks so much for the very special weekend!
Lakehouse on the Rock is such a lovely house. The hosts, Cathy & Jeff, have thought of *everything* in terms of amenities and nice touches to make your stay absolutely fabulous. I wish we could have stayed for the entire week instead of just a weekend!
This was a 5 Star vacation rental all around! We were a family of 3 generations and there was something for everyone! We loved sitting out on the large deck looking out over the water, my teenage granddaughter loved the excellent Wifi, my younger grandchildren loved the trampoline! The Lakehouse was very well equipped with all amenities and many nice touches like a S’mores bucket, a snack bucket and a wonderful coffee and tea bar! The bathrooms were very well stocked with towels, toilet paper and even a first aid kit! My only negative comment is that I would have really preferred one of the bathrooms to have a shower instead of a bath/shower combo. The 5 bedrooms are all on the same level as the kitchen / dining/ living room area. The Lakehouse has a beautiful view of the lake and has a very nice area for sitting and enjoying the outdoors! We all loved it!
Staying at the Lake House was truly an exceptional experience for our family! We have stayed in many VRBO homes and this one provided by far the very best combination of layout, location and amenities. Cathy & Jeff truly exemplified “pride of ownership” by providing absolutely anything and everything one could possibly imagine visitors would desire while staying in their beautifully maintained home. Our family gathering was an opportunity to spend quality time together unwinding, reconnecting and doing a lot of cooking! At every turn, Cathy & Jeff’s home provided a truly seamless experience. From the smallest details, such as a fully loaded spice rack, to a wide variety of outdoor seating areas, we could have spent a month and rarely used the same area twice.
Right from the arrival, the Lake House was exactly what we had all imagined as the ideal “Lakefront Cottage”. Elegant and well maintained, sitting on a lovely waterfront parcel of wooded land. The setting was idyllic in everyway. Inside, the bedrooms were large, well appointed, meticulously clean and elegantly decorated with the perfect blend of “Lake House” vibe, without the tacky or kitsch – no singing bass over the fireplace or book shelves made to look like a canoe.
Communication with the owners, instructions on equipment use and space were smooth and always hospitable. We don’t want to give too much away, but suffice it to say this home is exceptional in so many ways and we are already planning our return.
