Great experience, the place is amazing and well equipped, including a generator that we had to use for the first 6 hours due to a long weather related power outage in the area.

Overall it was a great spot for our family! We feel like we got lucky that it was a quiet weekend on the lake, since it seems like the marina and boat traffic could've been much busier. The upper property was private enough, but the waterway is somewhat crowded. The house was good, but a few repairs/upgrades could help out - notably the patio door on the lower level and the banister going down to the lake.

,This is an exceptional property. The building is beautifully constructed and situated on a high bank above Paudash lake across from a marina. This is not a wilderness area; it is a built up lake with many cottages and this property is relatively secluded but there can be continuous boat traffic as it is situated across from a marina and close to the channel linking upper and lower Paudash lake. The cottage is well furnished and equipped and easily accommodated our large group: my wife and me, our three adult children, their partners and 5 grandchildren aged 6, 5, 4, 4 and 3 years. As a previous review stated, this property is a gem but seems to have lost its lustre and is less than well maintained. The cottage binder was in need of organization and an update with much old and contradictory information (e.g., contrary to binder, garbage can be dropped off at either of 2 nearby landfill sites, no resident card is needed, garbage bags and recycling options clearly are discretionary). The plumbing fixture in the master bathroom was broken and inoperable, we suspected an earlier leak as the downstairs was a bit musty, ceiling tiles stained and one bedroom mouldy. The BBQ was good but the tank near empty and the spare tank empty requiring a trip to the marina (the owner promptly reimbursed us). The flagstone steps down to the lake were precarious and stonework and steps around the cottage were loose and tricky for unsuspecting children and adults. The play structure was old, rusty, tempting for young children but not worth the risk. The water was high and any sandy beach area was below the waterline so kids required very close supervision jumping from the wood dock that would benefit from maintenance. There was a raft to swim to and from and water was great despite nearby boat traffic. Fortunately Silent Lake Provincial Park is very close, uncrowded and has wonderful facilities and two perfect, kid friendly beaches on a pristine wilderness lake. In summary, this is a great cottage that needs some upkeep and attention and not quite as listed but we had a great time.
