Property was great for our family of eight adults and two small children. Beach was a great area for the kids to play and water was shallow for a good stretch. Cottage was clean and kitchen was well stocked. Host answered any questions we had promptly. Great place to gather with friends or family.

Hope and David's place was perfect for our 4 couples family reunion. The house and property were huge and the waterfront and lake fabulous. Plenty of space to be together as a large group and enough smaller conversation areas to meet everyone's needs. The impressive billiards room above the garage was a real hit.

Beautiful accommodation with every amenity one could wish for. The cottage itself is more of a luxurious house and is like something out of a magazine. There was quite a walk from the cottage/house to the water so for those with mobility issues it might be a bit of a challenge, however it is flat so we were able to use a wagon and stroller quite easily. The host was very approachable and friendly.

Our family had the most wonderful holiday at this stunning cottage! The space was incredible and there was more than enough room for the 10 of us and our dog. The home was beautifully designed for functionality and comfort and every room was filled with the most exquisite artwork. Our kids and grandchildren enjoyed every day at the waterfront on the dock, playing at the beach and paddle boarding/ kayaking. The host was quick to respond and made sure we were taken care of.It was a memorable holiday that we will be reminiscing about for a long time.Thank you Hope and David for sharing your wonderful home and property with us

Lovely House to stay in

The house was charming and and we enjoyed the cozy environment. We went it winter and enjoyed it, but I am sure going in summer time would have even been better.

Amazing Retreat

David's cottage is even nice than the pictures you see online. It is a spacious and luxurious vacation home situated on a calm and quiet lake just north of Huntsville. The fixtures and finishes in the home are all top notch with great attention to detail throughout. Definitely hoping to book a return trip in the future

The property was exactly as described and pictured. Our multi-generational family of 9 total had more than ample room to enjoy all the activities. The upstairs games room was a bonus but definitely needs some sort of ventilation...even a ceiling fan. If the property was available next year((we already checked lol) we would have booked it again.

The property is beautiful, and very well maintained. It was great to spend the days with the kids playing lacrosse, and playing with the dogs on the very large yard, then off to the lake to cool off. Kitchen was a great size for all guests to eat and easily cook meals. The games room was an amazing place to play cards, pool, or just sit and chat in the evening, or the kids would go up to watch a moving or read to get away from everyone. If they wanted a loud space it was there and if someone wanted a quiet space there were options.What a great way to spend a weekend.
Great view to drink my coffee every morning

My family had a fantastic stay at this beautiful cottage in Novar, Ontario. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the cozy and stylish décor—it truly felt like a home away from home. The kitchen was especially stunning and fully equipped, making it a pleasure to cook and gather in.The outdoor surroundings were just as amazing. The landscape was peaceful and beautifully maintained, and the view of the lake was absolutely gorgeous. We spent hours relaxing on the dock, enjoying the serenity and stunning sunsets. While the water was a bit weedy in spots, that’s just nature doing its thing and didn’t take away from the overall experience at all.We would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic escape. Thanks for sharing—We’re already looking forward to coming back!

What a gem

The long private driveway lead to a fantastic home. Entering the home, we were greeted with an immaculately kept home. The grounds were huge and well kept. Our dog really enjoyed themselves. The real prize was the bathrooms. Insane. We had a couple of issues that could be chalked up to bad luck. Everyone was very helpful, from the host to neighbours who knew the property will. Pro tips for anyone visiting the property; the taps turn on by pushing it toward the spigot. 😀 Also, the lake is great for swimming. Mostly Sandy bottom, gentle slope to depth. Not much in the way of fish.

The cottage exceeded our expectations. The kitchen and bathrooms were very upscale. The kitchen had lots of counter space with an island and chairs for three to eat and watch the cooks. The dining room table expanded to fit all ten of us for meals. There were several sitting rooms so we could spread out and visit. The beds were comfy, the whole house was nicely decorated.We often ate our breakfast outside on the deck. The appliances were top notch and the host provided a stocked kitchen with all the dishes, cutlery, pots and pans for everything you wanted to cook. The deck off the kitchen facing the lake had three recliners that was a great place to read in the morning. There was a remote control awning that was really appreciated. My family really enjoyed the pool room that was on the third floor. The wood walls and ceiling were stunning. There was also a half bathroom and a fridge in the room. The lake was shallow and we had to walk through squishy sand to swim. We had a great time in the water and used the canoe, paddle board and kayak. This is a great vacation home for 10 people.Thanks David for sharing your lake house. E Macdonald

A Hidden Gem!Make no mistake in calling this place a cottage as it is more like a luxury home. From the fully stocked chef’s kitchen, the luxurious beds and bedding, the sandy beach and spacious dock, to the expansive porch where you can watch the sunsets. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions and a pleasure to communicate with. A wonderful place to make memories with your Family.
