10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
The property lived up to the description and my 5 star rating. The kitchen was awesome - large and clean with plenty of space for our own food. The air-conditioning was great since it was such a hot week. The lake as clear (not weedy) and quiet. Given its size and the trailer parks/camp we were afraid that the lake might be noisy but it was incredibly quiet. The loons were an unexpected bonus - so many of them. And the first few days they were calling during the day. Another bonus was the shade that is naturally provided by the deck and the trees. You can still get sun if you want it ... but the shade was so good. Golfing was very close by, and so was Foodland. Great place that we highly recommend. The only downside was we didn't realize that bringing our own blankets was necessary. And it was a bit painful carrying in the 15L water bottles.

We were three families stayed at Whitefield cottage. The cottage was very spacious and clean. It is a perfect vacation spot. The access to lake was easy and the outside view from inside the cottage was stunning. We can’t wait to be back next time
6 / 10Average·Sep 2021
We were looking for a place where we would be able to explore the Eganville area as well as relax and spend quality time with our daughter. The cottage on Mink Lake offered us that opportunity. We were able to visit the Pembroke area on one day and the Barry’s Bay/Madawaska Highlands on another. We made use of their fire pit on two evenings, enjoying roasting marshmallows and talking. It was exceptionally quiet. They supplied a paddle boat and kayaks, but we did not make use of them. The cottage was very clean, with a nice layout and two full washrooms on the main floor. The kitchen was well equipped with all the cooking pots and pans and there were more than enough cups, glasses, plates etc to feed lots of people. As much as we did enjoy ourselves on this vacation, we did have some issues that detracted from our stay there. The first problem we ran into was that we did not realize that “linens” were not supplied, this meant no blankets or comforters. We brought our own sheets and pillowcases but there were no blankets. They normally offer to supply “linens” for a set fee, but that option was not being offered to us. A quick phone call to the owner resulted in her quickly arranging for the neighbour next door to bring over some for us. This ended up costing us a $50 cleaning fee. Also not supplied were drinking water, condiments, spices or oils. You were also asked to bring your own bath towels, toilet paper and paper towels. This was also probably due to COVID-19 concerns. We had brought a sufficient supply of these. Another problem was the large number of house flies. They hung around the patio door and came in every time we opened it. The flies would bother us as we sat talking, ate or slept. Additional things that influenced our rating were: 1. They had a very detailed 12 page contract. This supplied a lot of useful information. But it also had a lot of rules, many of which were “common sense”. There was also a detailed check out sheet to fill in and sign. I contrast this to a VRBO stay where there was no contract. There was a one page welcome flyer in the house. This place also supplied everything, including free firewood. The two rentals cost almost exactly the same price. 2. The owners have installed security cameras. We do like our privacy and would have been more comfortable if we knew they were turned off during our stay. 3. The washrooms and showers did not have grab bars, which are recommended.
