Quiet Retreat for Nature Lovers - 4 Seasons, Pet Friendly, Secluded

This property was so beautiful. The privacy is unmatched. The view from the deck is stunning. The lake is small, quiet, warm and welcoming. We didn't see one boat, not even another person the entire week there! The cottage was spacious and incredibly well-stocked. The host is kind, flexibile and quick to respond. There was also a green space for the outdoor activities. The firepit by the water is a great touch. We will most definitely be back! Thank you!

We had a wonderful time at this very well equipped cottage. The beds were super comfy and the AC appreciated on a few very hot nights. The upper deck facing the lake was a wonderful spot to hang out for meals and afternoon drinks. As the lake is fairly shallow is was already warm enough for swimming in early July. Anti-gravity chairs allowed for napping at the dock. Thanks - we had a great rime

We come every year and this cottage and location never disappoints!! The dog luvs it too!!

The 5 Acre Woods property was exactly as described and more. The property is very private due to the large lot and the many trees. Exactly what we were looking for. I loved that we could enjoy a wood fire both inside in the wood stove and outside in the fire pit. The inside has been updated and is very comfortable for a cooler rainy day if you don’t want to venture outside. But the outside is where the property really shines. Two decks and two balconies allow for everyone to get a great view of lakefront or woods. The first evening we were greeted by a flock of wild turkeys. And they visited us several times during our stay. We also saw turkey vultures and many chipmunks and squirrels. Walking through the woods was my favourite part. The terrain is so interesting. Mossy rocks and boulders and such a variety of trees and marshy areas too. And at night the lake is just gorgeous with the stars reflected in it like a mirror. Chandra was very quick to respond to any questions we had before and during our trip. And there were many thoughtful touches that made the trip enjoyable from all the small appliances available in the kitchen to the soap/shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom. Games and puzzles too. Also providing info on side trips like Petroglyphs Provincial Park which we also enjoyed. We had a great time a look forward to a repeat visit in the future.

Liked: -Property grounds / nature -Quiet -Fresh outside air Main dislikes: -Cottage and cushioned furniture has strong odours -No propane BBQ for 2 days (they don't follow the practice of having a full spare tank) -Dock has hazards -Not quiet when the freight train came through before sunrise. Happened twice during our three night stay All our clothes smelled and we decided to leave after the third night. Maybe it needs a deep cleaning after their busy summer season.

All wa vwry good: house, installation, cleaning, all around.

This place is so peaceful and is great to recharge at. Our family swam, used the paddle board, had great bbq meals and slept so comfortably in the air conditioned rooms. The little touches are amazing such as providing fishing rods, bug spray and games. The host is very responsive with any questions we had prior to our stay. We loved hearing the loons in the morning and the hummingbirds, we would definitely come back again next year.

Overall, this listing was exactly what was expected. It is a more rustic cottage that has some good upgrades. It’s a work in progress but offers a comfortable space and very comfortable beds in a quiet location. The air-conditioning units were appreciated, especially during very hot weather, but we’re a little noisy. Luckily, we were able to turn them off when going to bed as there is a nice breeze at night. The deck off the main room was exceptional. It sits high off the ground and hence gets a nice breeze, and importantly, the substantial number of deer flies (to be expected) do not bother anyone. It has a beautiful view of the sunset. It is sufficiently shaded throughout the day that you can sit out there almost all day long. And the variety of birds and their songs were absolutely charming! The only negative for us was that there was a bit of a steep hill down to the beach. Well, not normally problematic, with a more elderly person in our party, as well as someone with a knee injury, it made it a bit difficult to get there. The host was very responsive to questions asked. On average, she answered our questions within a few minutes. Her responsiveness was very much appreciated

No complaints! Cottage clean and well stocked. Enjoyed the canoe, paddle board and fire pit. Perfect size for our family of 3 adult couples and dog. Scenery and wildlife were incredible!! We’ll be back for sure

We had a great stay at the property. It is in a great, secluded location. We hiked in the area and it was a short trip into town if we needed anything. The cottage was very clean and equipped with everything we needed. A great place for family or friends to stay. We look forward to visiting again in the summer!
