Kishan is a courteous responsive host. Booking was confirmed promptly and message replies were timely. This is a cute cottage conveniently located near Long Point State Park (walking distance) and The Inns of Aurora (short drive to restaurant / spa). Also close to King Ferry Corner Store, a quaint shop for groceries / supplies / some local artisan items. Kitchen has dishes/cooking supplies necessary for meal prep and had a well-stocked pantry with cooking oil, spices, and some basic staples. There is a view of the lake from the cottage and the short walk down the path is pleasant with shore access that provides ample opportunity to enjoy the lake and launch the kayaks easily. The cottage is clean, cozy, and nicely decorated. We enjoyed our trip and hope to return someday.
