The open plan living space makes for a fun social atmosphere that includes lots of windows and natural light. The kitchen is spacious with lots of room for food prep and cooking. Separating the kitchen and living room is a beautiful walnut bar top, a wonderful spot for dining or socializing as you look out the large front window to the lake.

Of the three bedrooms, one is a cozy loft with a great view of the lake from the 3 skylights.

TESTIMONIALS

We had a wonderful time. The beach was just minutes from the cottage and very kid friendly. It was a wonderful experience for our grandchildren to fish off the dock. We also canoed to and explored a rock island. We finished off the week with a visit to Petroglyphs Provincial Park. We would definitely return to this cottage.  Cheryl G (July 2021)

 

We had a blast , it’s a great spot to spend a weeks vacation. The lake and yard are perfect size and the cozy cottage is perfect. We would definitely stay there again ! The neighbours were friendly and inviting ! Charlie was great to deal with as-well, he made sure our stay was great, thanks again. —Joe S. (July 2020)

 

Cottage was as advertised, recently renovated very nice, cute cozy, clean and well appointed. Owner was very easy to deal with and responsive. The lot is small and the water very weedy, but that’s more a feature of that particular part of the lake and didn’t stop the kids from having a super time or our enjoyment of the lake. —Rob G. (June 2020)

 

Beautiful small cottage with lovely view of the lake and pretty dock. Very comfortable with all the kitchen gadgets you would need!– Susan K. (Aug. 2019)

 

We had a great trip at this cozy little lakeside cottage. Great views of a beautiful lake and a freshly renovated cottage were top notch. We will definitely rent here again. Thanks! –Jamie B. (April 2019)

 

We had a great time at Family Friendly Cottage! the renovation was obviously done with a lot of love.  The cottage is super clean with nice rustic touches for a bit of lakeside charm.  The beds were comfortable with plenty of room for our small family and the BBQ was a pleasure to cook on.  We would definitely like to rent it again! -Monica W. (June 2019)
