"Beautiful Quiet"

"Clean and comfortable room. "

"My family and I rented this cottage based on the past reviews and the cottage description. Unfortunately, the cottage was not properly described and was filthy when we arrived. We were assured by the owners that the cottage has been cleaned, but we did send photos of both buildings that proved otherwise. A cleaner was sent a day later but by then, we had already cleaned a bit. The kitchen had a tap that wasn't properly attached, stinky dish cloths, oven mitts with holes, drawers and cupboards that hadn't seen a cloth in months and a filthy oven. Too many things to list. The buildings themselves were not properly described. The main cottage only has 2 bedrooms - one with a king bed, the second with a queen bed and a double mattress on a queen box spring. We had to wash all the sheets as they smelled horrible or hadn't been washed between visits. There were not towels or toilet paper for us to use. We had to bring our own. There was no 3rd bedroom in the main cottage - it was a murphy bed in the living room which is not super convenient when there with a group. The bathroom is actually 3 spaced - toilet/sink, tub/washer, toilet/sink, all separated by sliding barn doors. The bunkie was a bachelor style - the was one room with a bed, love seat and small kitchen. There were no sheets or blankets on the bed. The bathroom has a sink, corner shower and sink. Overall, it was a disappointing week for the amount that we paid and the description that this was appropriate for 10 people. "

"We had a girls getaway weekend and this was the perfect place to do it! From the moment we walked in everything was perfect! Jess is a very thoughtful host and we had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend including towels, robes, coffee, tea, and even a charcuterie board upon arrival! You can tell that Jess has put a lot of time and thought into each little detail. We can’t wait to make this our yearly getaway! Highly recommend :)"

"Great trip👍"

"We stayed as a family of four with two young children at the end of summer. The property is beautiful and the water very shallow quite a ways out so it was perfect for our 1.5 and 2.5 year olds. They had a blast playing in the water, riding around in the kayak and playing with some beach toys provided. The cottage got both very hot and cold while we were there with the fluctuating temps that week. The fans in every room work wonders and there is heating if needed. Adequate and comfortable linens provided. Some toiletries if needed. Really nice to have a washer and dryer on site if you need to wash and dry towels or clothing you brought up. All the comforts of home including a dishwasher, coffee machine etc. TVs also in every room which was convenient. As others have mentioned, it seemed as though there were not a lot of mosquitoes but the ones that got us were the itchiest we have ever experienced. Property was secluded / private enough though you could see some neighbouring cottages/guests a ways away. Hosts were prompt with responses to any correspondence. I think the biggest take away was that we had a very comfortable stay as a family of four with small children."
