Our family gets together once a year at different locations. Verna’s property was by far everyone’s favourite. The property was breathtaking and peaceful and the cottage had every amenities possible, Vesna thought of everything one would need for a comfortable stay. Truly enjoyed our week.
10.0 / 10.0
Vesna's cottage was stunning and the perfect setting for our winter honeymoon! The location was perfect and very private, the cottage was very well appointed, clean, warm and cozy. Vesna was an amazing and responsive host. Can't wait to potentially visit in the summer too!

We really loved all of it
The one thing we would have appreciated would be at least one more shower. For six people it was little busy
10.0 / 10.0
When we booked Stillwoods our group of six couldn’t believe how great it looked based on the pictures.
It wasn’t until we got there we were absolutely awestruck! The pictures don’t do it justice!
Stillwoods is the perfect getaway - the Timber Cottage where we stayed was the perfect mix of luxury and comfort, and the Pine Cabin was perfectly quaint.
Our group has already discussed coming back here instead of booking somewhere new for the next year. 11/10!

This was our second time staying at Stillwoods Cottage and we had a restful recharge at this beautiful property.
Vesna is a great host and has thought of every detail in the creation and maintenance of this oasis away from home.
Thank you for another great stay!

Vesna's property can not be described as anything short of 'Heaven on Earth". A truly magical experience with everything needed to have an amazing time! My girlfriends and I spent three nights at Vesna's place and we would recommend the same to get the most of your visit. We thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the clear turquoise pond, playing a variety of lawn games including ladderball and giant Jenga. We went off the property to explore a trail in Algonquin park (only 50min away - according to Google Maps, closer if you ask Apple). Every inch of this property is pure magic and we cannot recommend it enough!

We traveled from Wisconsin to ride the area and the property was spectacular! The home was clean and beautiful. We loved it! The kitchen was fantastic and had everything you needed.
10.0 / 10.0
Stillwoods is an absolute gem — beautiful property, well-appointed cottages, a serene backdrop for some much-needed time away. It was a perfect place for us to gather with family in the Carriage House and Pine Cabin — the bedrooms, washrooms, and stunning kitchen provided everything we needed! We very much hope we can return. Thank you Vesna for ensuring we were well taken care of.
10.0 / 10.0
There were 10 of us and it was great to have 2 houses and thus 2 kitchens/dining rooms/living rooms. We all met outside in the evening to eat together, or sometimes sit together on the covered porch (1 house has a covered porch sitting area and the other doesn't) but the rest of the time everyone was able to do their own thing, without stepping on each other! The decor is top notch and the owners are great to deal with. Thank you Stillwoods for a lovely return trip!
10.0 / 10.0
Amazing Experience!
This property has it all. From the location to the ambiance, and everything in between-Vesna has created the perfect getaway spot. We were so happy with our experience, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing cottage experience. Thank you!

Best Ever!
I tend to have pretty high expectations for accommodations booked via property photos and reviews left by fellow travelers. When we booked Stillwoods for a family getaway after delayed Covid travel, we were eager to arrive and hopeful that all would be well. Not only was it well, it was fantastically awesome!! If you could use all of your senses to hear the stillness, taste the fresh basil that was clipped from the garden, breathe in the fresh air, feel the soft blankets and quality home furnishings via a website, you would 'experience' Stillwoods Cottage! You'll have to see it with your very own eyes, though!
Thanks for a home that was just that - comfortable and welcoming as though family and friends would be knocking on the door for a visit at any time! (They didn't!) The communication with the host was excellent even with international travel involved! Five stars, five stars indeed!

Beautiful cottage, pond, and amenities. Host left a few extras -drinks, madawaska coffee beans-for us that added to the feeling of luxury. We enjoyed the covered patio and made use of the large groomed yard and games provided.

A beautiful retreat with special perks…
My wife, I and my three children (7,4,2 year old) enjoyed a marvelous week at Stillwood Cottage. The set up is wonderful, there is nothing you will miss. The pond had been a fantastic treat for everyone, certainly my kids enjoyed the daily swim. We certainly will return to this beautiful place.

Gorgeous property! Highly recommend!
This is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. You feel pampered in this clean, bright, airy cottage with gorgeous views. The kitchen is great to cook in. The grounds are fantastic.
The owners are also very responsive to questions and helping you during your stay. I highly recommend this cottage!

Perfect fall get away
Wonderful fall get away location! The house is exactly as pictured and has positively everything you need. From comfortable pillows, warm blankets, and a cozy fireplace this is a fall/winter dream location. An added plus are the eco friendly soaps and supplies!
The remote location is perfect for escaping the city for a week, or even just a long weekend. I will echo other reviewers about trying to arrive before dark so its easier to navigate the roads/turns. Also, while the listing says there is wifi, its not strong/reliable enough for working (which is great as a way to unplug but worth mentioning bc if you do need to work remotely during your stay it may be a challenge).
Overall, I had an excellent stay and Vesna was a fabulous host!
10.0 / 10.0
Great place to disconnect
This is a very picturesque, comfy and tranquil cottage. We found it very peaceful and since they have limited internet it was the perfect place to pull away from electronics. The set-up was very clean and organized so there was no confusion as to where to find what you needed. Well stocked with all the essentials. Their choice of decor & bedding is comfortable and stylish. The inside fireplace only uses fire-logs, but you can enjoy real wood fires outside. Firewood is additional. Very secluded and private with gorgeous views. Enjoyed waking up to the beautiful sunrise!

Phenomenal Getaway
I needed to find a quiet restful location for a few days of R&R just before starting a new job. Stillwoods Cottage knocked it out of the park.
This property is beyond gorgeous and has pretty much every amenity you may need. The kitchen is fully stocked, gorgeous, and perfect to cook in. The cottage and bunkie are beautifully designed and furnished. The outdoor fire pit and indoor fireplace was exactly what I needed on this late October vacation.
I highly recommend staying and look forward to visiting this cottage again in the future.

the location is perfect to relax and enjoy nature
the place is very nice just as described a chick hotel with all details very cleaned including fresh flowers....games for the family ect... unfortunately we didnt have a good weather but did the best considering the weather conditions, we advise to arrive early in the day as the surrounding areas dont have lights, however in the property they do have lights every where in the grounds.. we more likely go back again is a beautiful family retreath and highly recommended it!!
10.0 / 10.0
An enchanting place.
If I was to list all that I liked about Stillwoods Cottage it would take far too long! The cottage is a stunning work of architecture both inside and outside. In the entrance you are welcomed by a structured cathedral ceiling and the smell of clean and wood. The bath and bedding accessories are five star. I could not take my eyes off of the man made, but very natural pond, fed by a little creek gurgling into the pond. I sat for hours on the very comfy porch chairs trying to discern the colour of the water in the pond. The closest description I came to is a dark teal. At night with the lights all around and sitting by the fire we felt like we were living in a classical fairy tale. Our guests who stayed in the bunk house enjoyed their stay immensely. Hoping to be able to revisit soon!
10.0 / 10.0
Excellent getaway!
I would highly recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a private, beautiful, peaceful getaway. It was so nice to see the sunrise through the trees, spend time playing games, enjoyed the fireplace and outdoor firepit, and simply chilling with the family! The host was very friendly and helpful!! 5 star rating for this place!

Quietude, serenity, cleanliness, and professional management
Greetings Fellow Renters:
Myself, my wife, son and fiance' stayed at this property end of August '21. I am a professor at a large Canadian university and my wife a real estate agent who both live busy and stressful lives - Stillwoods was our antidote. If you like noise, constant activity, and action, this is not for you. However, if you are looking for a cerebral station, where you can choose to read, play a lawn/board game, drive 10-15 minutes to beautiful trails, nature, or just have an outdoor fire at night and listen to the frogs in the pond and stare at the stars, this is your place. I hesitate to say all of this because I selfishly do not want it to become too popular!!! The host (Vesna) was friendly and beyond helpful, probably up there in the top three (next to cleanliness - especially in this environment - and attention to detail) things that would motivate us to rent again. Further, we are also members of Embarc (formerly Intrawest) and have very high expectations - we would put Stillwoods on that level - enjoy (but not too much!!!), best and stay well, J.
