    Jacob our host was wonderful to communicate with. The vibe in regard to our booking experience and stay was one of rustic relaxation....a true cottage in a beautiful location! We appreciated that everything was clean, fresh and warm upon our winter arrival. The kitchen was so well equipped that the kids and I were able to bake after playing in the snow. There was no shortage of tissues or toilet paper and anything we needed like soaps, dishwasher tabs or tinfoil was available. The linen closet had plentiful towels, blankets and even extra pillows. I would caution families with mobility issues or young members that there are MANY steep stairs to navigate on the property but the views from the different levels are lovely.My only regret is that I wasn't able to spend time and explore in the warmer weather. I believe the sunroom would have been my favorite space...its like an oasis from the rest of the house. It's bright, airy and perfect for enjoying a coffee and a good book.I would highly recommend this property to those searching for a traditional cottage getaway with great views in a community setting.

    Jacob’s cottage was spectacular! The view off the deck was some thing out of a cottage magazine. We loved all the wildlife, the quiet, and calm. Everything you need in a cottage, and more, is here. The lake had a few weeds, but far enough out that we could walk into the water with no problems. The paddle boarding was amazing, but we enjoyed the lily pad the most! Only thing we wish there was A/C inside the cottage. It was 33 degrees outside when we were there, so inside was about 27.5. Thank goodness for the fans Jacob had - in abundance! Great place. HIGHLY recommend

    Stayed here for a few days starting on new year's day. Had some family over and eveyone was happy with the accommodations. Allowed us all to get together and enjoy some family time cooking, watching movies, and playing games together.

    We stayed at Jacob's Lakehouse September 20-23 of 2024, wish we had booked for longer. Family of 10 and cottage was very spacious. For our family we could have probably used an extra room, but we knew what we were getting in to. There was so much to do, inside and outside, on the lake or venturing off the property like we did. We had 2 kids so we actually went to the Riverview Zoo (free) twice. The view of the lake from the cottage was spectacular. Having 2 dogs, we really appreciate the small things like the gate Jacob put on the upper deck so the dogs can enjoy being out on the patio without us worrying that they will escape to the neighbour's property. I think other than the Senator's poster he has in the basement, the place was just awesome.

    This lakefront cottage was the perfect place for our group of friends to enjoy! The cottage was well equipped, clean, and located on a wonderful section of lake. Would highly recommend and will be rebooking in the future!
