Liked the lake side setting with a beach area suitable for activities of watching the sun set. Had a good selection of watercraft available for guest use. The barbecue on the deck was a real plus giving a lot of flexibility in menu selection.

Great location, lake access was perfect. Lots of kayaks/canoes/life jackets. Games room fantastic. Asked for a refill of propane for bbq and had it within minutes. Felt like we were in our own place with no owners but if we had any issues felt they would take care of it right away. Would higly recommend. Already looking at bookings for next year!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The stay was disappointing. Location is excellent, view is great, steps away from a beach on the lake, with canoe/kayak facilities. But, the cabin was nowhere worth the price. The cabin itself was quite small (very deceptive photos in the listing). The bathroom was uncomfortably small—there was barely any space to sit on the toilet without bumping knees against the sink. With no exhaust fan, everything stayed damp, and the flimsy bathmat only made the slippery floor worse. My wife was genuinely afraid of falling. Surprisingly, there were no mats at the main door or balcony entrance, which meant we couldn’t keep the floor clean after returning from the beach. Definitely expected better for the price, not value for money at all.

I liked the fact that every thing you need to relax during your stay is easily accessible in few foot steps . I especially liked bonfire, BBQ , kayak/canoeing, private beach, indoor games. One thing I would like to share feedback for improvement is the door mats are not big enough for a place that , as whenever we go out and come in lot of sand/mud comes in room, they could have big good absorbable mats at the door to avoid our room getting dusty quickly, we had to clean our room multiple times.

Enjoyable stay

This is our second stay at this resort. We like this time of year because it is quieter. These are cottages built likely in the 50s, but they have been nicely updated and are clean and comfortable. They provide wood-burning fireplaces, as well as provide the wood, a workable kitchen with full electric stove, fridge, dishwasher and microwave oven. Good service from the staff and quick communications. Recommended.
