TESTIMONIALS

All of us from young to old and including two pooches had a thoroughly enjoyable time at The Pines. The cottage posting captured the essentials of the cottage and amenities but the reality was even better. We thought a single storey cottage might be a little cramped but there is ample room for all activities whether eating, playing, relaxing or sleeping. Outside fulfilled all of our hopes with lots of space for bean bag toss or our usual game of Bocce. The dogs enjoyed it too at the ends of their long tethers. The water was warm and an easy walk in and the great range of water craft were well used. No sign of weeds nearby so swimming was another popular past-time. Of course our level of enjoyment was raised considerably by the cottage owner and host, Kim. The very, very best we have ever met over many years of rentals. It started on day 1 when she offered us a short tour of the lake in her family pontoon boat. The 15 minute trip turned into over an hour of well informed sightseeing of everything of interest. Thereafter she always responded to any of our questions expeditiously and allayed any concerns while offering fulsome responses. She even called us when she was visiting family to warn us of a potential storm and risk of a power outage. We got the power cut and she gave us simple but comprehensive instructions to reset critical infrastructure. She is a fountain of knowledge but never obtrusive. However the family consensus was that her crowning achievement was to find us a very reasonably priced person to do the end of stay cleaning! We all unreservedly recommend both the cottage and especially the owner. Thank you, Kim. – The Wilsons (Aug 2022)

The large dock and location was perfect for our boating, swimming, and watersports activities. The cottage and bunkie fit our family and guests very well and was comfortable for meals and evening entertainment. – Kathryn M. (Jul. 2019)
