TESTIMONIALS

Thank you Paul and Sarah for a wonderful stay over the long weekend! Thank you Deb for helping with the booking process and making everything very easy. You provided detailed and clear instructions on what to expect from check in to checkout. When we checked in everything was clean and tidy, with plenty of room for all of our guests! There were many things to do and extra activities provided like ping pong, a paddleboat and paddle board. We enjoyed most of our time outside, on the water, and by the fire. The cottage was perfect for us and is exactly like the photos. We all enjoyed our time and appreciate you hosting us! —Miranda (Aug 2023)

Canal Lake cottage was a great place. Great amenities and on the water. Perfect for my elderly mother as it was mostly flat property to the water. So peaceful. Great lake. Very close to the grocery store and LCBO! We really enjoyed our stay. —Lydia M. (Jul 2023)

The cottage was exactly as advertised and was clean and in generally good condition. —Templin Family (Sep 2022)
