We had an amazing stay at the house. Was a perfect size for our group. Shelley was just excellent from the booking, to check in and throughout. The property is rustic and could do with a few upgrades and we felt it could benefit from a good professional cleaning. none of these things btw impacted our stay or comfort, we had an excellent time and would 100% book another vacation at the lakehouse. Thank you so much.

This is an absolute gem, so glad we found this place. We definitely will be back. It is a piece of heaven, the house, the yard, the lake with a beautiful deck. All we could do was sit there and look at the stunning views. The only con is that you have to leave! Shelley could not be more wonderful and make your stay everything that you want.

My family had a fantastic stay at the cabin. More than enough space for the 7 of us, and the private dock was a huge hit for my kids! Beds were really comfortable, the kitchen had all the amenities we needed to cook big meals, and the view inside and out was spectacular. Looking forward to staying again!

This was an amazing lake vacation! The cabin is in a perfect location for paddle boarding, swimming and chilling on the dock. There are lots of winery’s and restaurants around to check out as well.
Shelly made the whole experience better by being super responsive, accommodating and friendly.
We hope to be back soon.
Thanks for sharing your home with us Shelly,

This place really was heavenly! Shelley was a wonderful and very thoughtful host. The water, the trees, the privacy, the quiet. Mama, it was fabulous! Can’t say enough. This is the cottage-on-a-lake I’ve always dreamed of.

Shelley goes above and beyond to ensure the cabin is well-stocked with provisions needed for her guests. We very much enjoyed her cabin, the excellent dock that allowed us to moor our 420 sailboat, ample dock and deck chairs/table, the comfortable beds, large fridge and freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer. There was a games chest and cable TV and great wifi. We loved every minute of our stay and would recommend Shelley’s cabin to all!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lake house. The dock and lake provided hours of fun in the sun in the morning and afternoon hours and the house and deck are beautifully shaded for cool comfort when you need a break from the heat. Property is well maintained and well stocked, and manager is quick to reply to any questions. We were impressed with little details, like a stocked chest of family games which were well utilized by us for family fun in the evenings… there were even flossers in the bathroom which saved the kids a lot of grief on corn on the cob night :). The fact the cottage is pet friendly was such an appreciated bonus, as we really enjoyed having our furry family with us. Hope to be back again in the future!

A great place to swim and relax in the sun, combined with a really comfortable house tucked away in the tall trees. The trans Canada trail is just short walk away and we took our dog every day. Birds by day and bats by night - so cool. We loved our stay!

This was a great property from which to make day trips and explore. The lake is beautiful, and the cottage situated to give privacy. Both the indoor and the outdoor space gave lots of options. We'd love to go back someday!
