Nice property on a lake I'm very familiar with. Deep weed-free swimming off the end of the dock, just what I love.The deck is a good size, with an up-to-date barbecue and good furniture. The exposure (SSW?) gives the dock area sun most of the day, and the cottage deck once it gets over the trees.While this property checked a lot of boxes, there are a few issues which will prevent us from returning.-The stairs going up to the loft aren't the safest. There's just the wall to use for support, no handrail. -The futons in the living room are uncomfortable, especially for sleeping.-The overall cleanliness in the kitchen was a concern. The coffee maker was disgusting, the kettles were in bad need of descaling, cutlery, plates and glasses had to be closely scrutinized before use. Not a lot of storage for dry goods, and only one working electrical outlook that we could find. Mice made a visit twice to the kitchen while we slept. There are electronic pest repellers in use around the cottage, but I question if they are effective.-We were aware fully aware of the stairs going down to the lake, and truthfully, they weren’t that bad. Just bring everything you want down with you, and make a trip to the bathroom before going down! All in all it was a nice getaway, just unsuited to our group of mainly 50-plussers. We all agreed this cottage was best suited to a family with children. Thank you Paul for your prompt responses and friendliness.

We enjoyed our stay. The weather was warm and did alot of fishing. Kids really liked staying upstairs in the loft. My only complaint is that this cottage needs a major clean. There is no way this cottage is cleaned regularly, some much needed updates in the washroom starting with the heat register.

Lots to love about this cottage. Great location, private, nice road for walks, beautiful view.
Only complaint would be the cleanliness - found a lot of mice droppings throughout the kitchen and bathroom. Overall, kitchen cupboards could have used a good cleaning.
