    We stayed at the cottage for 7 days. The location is great: nice wooded area, good access to the water, and some beautiful paddling in the calm connector between the bay and Round Lake. The screened-in gazebo was appreciated. There are many motorized boats in the bay, but the traffic is lighter during the week. The cottage would best fit 4 people, as the sleeping space in sunroom is not very comfortable and faces east. Our main concerns relate to the cleanliness of the cottage. Despite keeping the kitchen meticulously clean, we encountered mouse droppings and cockroaches: on the last day of our visit, my daughter found a cockroach in her bed (this was definitely not a wood beetle). We communicated our concerns to the host the first day, as we discovered that there is no outside bin to store waste: the only options are keeping the waste inside the cottage in the very small bins provided or in the freezer. Despite our mention of the mouse droppings all over the kitchen counters, the host provided didn't acknowledge our concerns about the rodent problem. The problem is compounded by the lack of access to local transfer stations: while this is not the host's fault, providing guests with adequate waste storage on site, but away from the cottage, would be very helpful in this case. Overall, we would recommend this property only once these issues have been properly addressed.

    We loved the secluded bay. Water was clean and warm. No mosquitos by the water. People looking for a quitet time should probably avoid long weekends as there was a lot of seadoo and boat traffic. It all went quiet after the weekend.

    My four girlfriends and I loved staying here. We made the most of the kayaks and canoe, ate our meals in the gazebo, and spent our days reading and tanning on the dock. It's a small cottage but has everything that you could ask for in a weekend trip away from the city. I'd love to come back again next summer. Thanks Lisa!
