TESTIMONIALS

Our stay at Kayak Cove on Chandos was wonderful. It was great dealing with Kawartha Cottage Vacations to book the cottage. The owners Dan and Loretta were kind, welcoming and very responsive during our stay. The welcome package was a very nice touch. Dan is thorough with his follow ups and even checked in the next day. The cottage is well appointed and as seen in the photos ( we personally felt it was more beautiful in real life!). The view is pristine and relaxing, the proximity of the cottage to the dock is perfect and friendly for all age groups, and the area is quiet with the neighbors. I would highly recommend the entire process for anyone looking for a beautiful lake, accommodating owners and a wonderful cottage rental company. You won’t be disappointed. – Crow Family (August 2026)
