Cottage was well equipped. I enjoyed the pool. They have a few fishing boats to rent out (need to have a boat license) - I'm inspired to get a boat and fishing license now to take advantage of those next time!

If you plan to bring a pet, contact the host/owner on booking.com first. It says pet friendly, however the host was surprised we brought our two dogs. Booking.com only states 'pet friendly, extra charges may apply' and doesn't have a check box for details on pets. We were okay with paying the extra charges for a pet friendly place - that's why we chose this place! Host accommodated us with a cottage - thankfully. Host was super nice throughout our stay!

Great host and good vibe. The host was kind and friendly

The rooms can be cleaned off spider webs. The kids were scared of spiders. It was so hard to make them sleep as there were few spiders in the room.

Sandy Shores is a true hidden gem directly at Rice Lake. We were extremely lucky to stumble across it as we had a few days not planned yet in our holidays and a cottage just happened to be available. Evgeny and Natalia are such relaxed and warm hosts. The location and the cottage itself were well equipped, comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the beautiful sunset from the balcony. If we ever come back to this region of Canada again, we will certainly stay here again.

The only improvement I can think of is pillows that are a little bit softer.

The location is Amazing and waking up everyday looking the lake is priceless. The sunset is very beautiful too, the sun goes down to the lake.
