Great Getaway
Couldn’t ask for a better place for a family getaway that is pet friendly. Modern amenities throughout made for a stress free experience. Plenty of activities to keep everyone happy and space so everyone could spread out. Close to a variety of shops makes it easy to pick up food and anything we needed.

Lovely week at the cottage!
Our family really enjoyed our time here. While it would have been a bit nicer if this are of the lake wasn't sooo shallow for sooo long before you finally hit deeper water, but it was great for our dog's first exposure to water! Lewis was great at sending us communications leading up to our stay, and incredibly responsive when we arrived. Neighbours are quiet and friendly, and being at the cottage is peaceful and private. HIghly recommended!

Good spot for vacation
We had a relaxing time for sure and the weather held up for us. Lewis was quick to answer all questions. We found the house in decent cleanliness except for some left over things from the previous guests. We had to get the sheets and towels from the laundry bins but it was still there and we really enjoyed the stay. The Neighbor launched and removed our 18 foot boat for a $50 fee as you can’t get a larger boat in at the house. There are dishes and all basic amenities here which made it feel like home. I must say the beds were comfortable too. The town is 10 mins down the road for any last min shopping or restocking the milk. Large place with lots to do! Fully recommend this place to all.

Great Family Vacation Spot
Our family and especially our 4 and 11 year old granddaughters loved there time here. The lake was the main reason as both of them seemed to be in the water the whole week. The cabin had everything we needed. Our host, Lewis was easy to get hold of when we had questions. When it came time to come home though, our 4 year old granddaughter was quite upset as she wanted Maggie to come with home with her!! We would definitely recommend this spot for your next family vacation.

Great spot for grandkids
We had a great time at the cottage with the grandsons. There was lots for them to keep entertained. The boys and our dogs loved the warm shallow water. The view of the lake is perfect sitting outside or at the dining room table. The cottage was very clean and the three bedrooms and two full bathrooms made it feel like you were at home.

Great Cottage on a Great Lake
Rustic cottage with great amenities including wifi, Netflix, lots of books and board games for rainy days. Great spot for kids, especially the lake which is very shallow, sandy, and crystal clear. So close to downtown Barry's Bay. Would definitely book again. Host was very responsive when we needed to contact him also.

It was hard to leave today!!!
Beautiful property! Cottage was spotless and was both cozy and modern with two full bathrooms and beautiful views of the lake. The hammock was my home for the week and the clear, shallow water was so much fun for my dog and son to play in. We loved the kayaks and drinking coffee facing the lake was beautiful. The lake is quiet and gorgeous. The property is set far from the road and the hosts are gracious with firewood, and fun water toys for kids. Loved our stay.

A great stay.
The cabin is located in a beautiful setting, right at the lake. The interior is very spacious and the kitchen and bathroom both well equipped. The bedrooms are also light and well furnished. There is plenty of gear for outside activities. Communication with Louis, the owner went very smooth and easy. It is an ideal place for the summer season. Our trip was early October and we had some ice and it started to snow.
