    This is an exceptional cottage with lovely views of the lake. It's just a few minutes drive to Westport which has interesting shops and a good grocery store. The owner was so cooperative and easy to deal with that I have booked a time in June and can't wait to get back to this wonderful cottage. The only caution is that there are stairs to get to the lake which should be considered for someone with mobility issues.

    The stone cottage had a nice view of the lake, a fire pit, big tables for games and meals with family. Very relaxing and quiet. The loons on the lake were close by--loved their calls to each other! It was clean and had a well stocked kitchen. If you have little children, the outdoor patio has a drop off that you would need to use caution with. We would definitly recommend this place.

    Our family had a great week at Erika's property, experiencing a clean and welcoming cottage with beautiful views, plus friendly local neighbors! Visiting as a family of 6, with 2 little ones and a 4-legged friend, we had ample space in this sweet little cottage, with the fantastic screened in porch area being our favorite hangout spot. Not to mention, the thrilling fishing just steps away on both the dock of the property, and the boat we rented for the week from Norris Bait and Tackle. The kids had a blast! The shoreline of the lake offers many beautiful properties to not miss sightseeing. In addition to those things, and the tasty food in Westport (don't miss the Cove Inn!), Erika was the most optimal host! Prior to our visit, Erika was in contact with us, inquiring what would make our stay the most comfortable for us, and even after we were home, she was very responsive and accommodating of some things we had accidentally left behind. Overall a fantastic and memorable experience for our first visit to Canada!

    We had an amazing one week stay at Erika's property. The communications upfront was excellent and the information package answered any possible questions we had before arrival. We found the cottage to be very clean and tidy and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay - large bottled water, basic spices and more. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with plenty of dish and cookware and we loved hanging out in the screened in porch during the evenings and down at the dock during the day. We hope to be back the summer of 2026!

    We had a week at Erika's cottage this fall and it was absolutely lovely. The cottage is beautiful, comfortable, spacious, the location is stunning, and the screened in porch was an absolute added bonus. We were also really delighted we could bring our cat with us, and that the screened in porch was there so she could safely enjoy the location too :-) All of the instructions, access, setup, and process for the cottage was clear and easy. Erika makes the experience seamless for guests to enjoy their time away.

    Cottage was amazing - very well maintained, traditional feel to it (original fittings, kitchen etc.). Front screened porch was our favourite place to relax, with an excellent view of the lake. New dock was a great place for morning coffee, and bbq on the side deck with a lake view was also a nice touch. Views from nearly all windows, including master bedroom. Host Erika was very helpful and accommodating. Would recommend to anyone for a cozy lake-side stay.

    The cottage was nice a cozy, convenient to get to, around a beautiful area of Ontario and on a fantastic lake. The cottage had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The property owner was very friendly and communicated everything that we needed to know for our arrival, stay and departure. The surroundings had beautiful fall colours everywhere, and the floating dock was a wonderful location to fish and to read a book. Very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

    We arrived after a long drive, access was easy and the cottage had everything we needed. I very much appreciated being able to take my 2 dogs. 1 of our party saw a black bear on her way out early 1 morning. Stores and restaurants were very convenient and all in all we had a great week. Erika was super responsive when I reached out . Definitely would recommend

    My husband and I spent the last few days of May, beginning of June at this lovely cottage. Beware if you have mobility issues as there are close to 40 steps down to the lakeside dock. Erika has all the cupboards labeled, so no trouble locating kitchen supplies. When we had rain days, there were tons of boards games to keep us busy. Even watched Nadal beat Djokovic at the French Open on cable TV! Erika is a lovely host who will bend over backwards to help her guests. Only drawback for me was housekeeping. It is lackadaisical, but I'm a clean freak., so not up to my usual standards.
