Fantastic winter getaway
The cottage and property were very clean and exactly as shown in the pictures. Communication with the host was very easy and responsive. The sauna and hot tub were in great shape. This is a great cottage for friends and family to enjoy! Lots of space and all the amenities you need to enjoy yourself and be comfortable. We definitely recommend this cottage and hope to come back soon :)

Spacious Place for Fun Time
We had a fantastic stay at this property! From the beginning, the host was incredibly reliable and friendly, always quick to respond to any questions we had. The check-in process was seamless and stress-free, which made settling in a breeze.
The house itself was wonderfully spacious, giving us plenty of room to relax and enjoy our time. The living room area was a highlight—comfortable, inviting, and perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
We also appreciated the well-thought-out TV setup and the selection of games available, which added an extra layer of fun to our stay. Overall, this place was a great choice for our getaway, and we’d definitely recommend it to others!

Quaint cottage
Area was nice, albeit a bit crowded with neighbours pretty close by. The dome was a great addition, but the first time we went in to check, the zipper for the entrance opened and wouldn’t close, so we couldn’t use it. Cottage came fully stocked with cooking/kitchen utensils, cookware, dishware, etc. and bedsheets/towels. Other than the dome, everything was as advertised.

One of my favourite getaways!
This place blew my expectations out the water. From the listing description I had high hopes and was somehow even more impressed upon arriving. The place was super clean and we felt right at home. Everything we could need was there, and all of the cool amenities made this a super special and fun stay. The beds were super comfortable and cozy, and the heated floors in the bathroom made me want to move in! I have rented many places before and have never had a better experience, from the cleanliness, homey feeling, fun amenities, chic and cute decor/vibes, and of course how welcome the host made us feel, he was very communicative and eager to ensure we had the best stay. I would 100% rent this place again and recommend it to others!

Stay far away!
Although the yard was enjoyable, this listing is far from how it’s shown. One disappointment after the other. I’m unsure how this space for any 5 star reviews. Although James was responsive during our stay as I was listing issues throughout the entire weekend, nothing has been done to compensate us. It was dirty, not well equipped, additional charges to get rid of our garbage at the local landfill, no Pac-Man or ping pong table as mentionned. We needed to shovel over an hour before we could access amenities, and the list goes on. Nice property but way overpriced and not new or clean like pics show! Steer clear! We were definitely had with this one.
