"It was gorgeous boarding-house style lodging, clean and the host was so kind and lovely. there's a history of the house in the kitchen that I loved reading. Close to Algonquin Park for any hikers and surrounded by trees. I absolutely would stay again"

"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. "

"Great location with lake view "

"brand new cottages, extremely friendly host, and close to Algonquin park . "

"We had a lovely stay at this cottage. The lake was beautiful. We enjoyed the paddle boat, but no time to canoe this stay. At this time of year there were no neighbours which added to the peace and quiet. We were 15 minutes to Barry's Bay and 6 minutes to Madonna House. The interior was very comfortable from the couch and loveseat to the beds. The appliances worked great and we enjoyed making wings in the Ninja. We didnt get a chance to build a fire in the fire pit. Our host was quick to reply to our question such as where to leave the garbage. Our two service dogs had lots of room to play fetch and go for a swim. We would highly recommend this host and cottage to anyone. "
