Beautiful!!!

We recently stayed here for our wedding, and it was perfect! The setting was stunning, surrounded by nature, and the place itself was spacious and comfortable. The host was incredibly accommodating and helpful. Our family had a wonderful time, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and peaceful spot for our special day. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic cottage

The place was absolutely beautiful! The beds were so comfortable I wanted to take it home with me, and everything was very clean. Tons of games for rainy days and the kids had a blast fishing, they caught 1 after another off the dock. Kim and Mark were great hosts and met all of our needs.

Weekend getaway

We stayed at the Whitestone cottage for an extended weekend and it was amazing. We had a large group of 14 guys and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. The kitchen is a chefs kitchen, it’s got everything you need and more along with a dining room table that can probably fit 20 people without any issues. There is so much to do at this property both outdoor and indoor if the weather isn’t cooperating. I’ll have to find another excuse to make my way back to the cottage.

The perfect getaway

This was our second time staying here, and it was even better than we remembered. Kim is a kind, responsive, and professional host and any issues were promptly resolved. We enjoyed everything the cottage had to offer and made family memories that will last a lifetime. A couple highlights were the large living and gathering space, the hot tub and campfire circle, the amazing water access and dock, and getting to see a shooting star on a clear night! We can't wait to come back!

I had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by its cozy and inviting atmosphere. The interior was beautifully decorated, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the living area was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The cottage’s location was ideal, offering both tranquility and easy access to local attractions. I highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a lovely setting.

Great multi-generational family vacation

We gathered multiple generations in our family for a quiet vacation and had a great time. The cottage is as listed and served us well. The early morning view of the lake was amazing. Cooking in the kitchen and shared meals at the dining table were a treat. Lots of common space on the main floor as well as side rooms when a bit of quiet is needed. The waterfront was enjoyed by us all, young and old, though it should be noted it's a bit of a distance from the cottage.

The most amazing weekend and wedding

It is hard to put into words just how magical this property is. We had booked the cottage in hopes of a gorgeous intimate wedding and it did not disappoint! There was enough space for the wedding parties to stay comfortably at the cottage while a few more guests arrived for the wedding day. In total, 16 guests stayed at the cottage and everyone was able to sleep comfortably. In total, there were 31 guests on the wedding day. The backyard space provided a beautiful setting for the ceremony while the kitchen fit all 31 people comfortably for the reception. The cottage was clean and Kim was incredible in her communication leading up to our stay. I would recommend this property to anybody looking for a getaway!

Whitestone Lakehouse

We had a wonderful time. There was lots of room for for all 20 of us plus two dogs. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to use although it was a bit confined for that many people. The waterfront is well designed and the sauna was a big hit! The lake is beautiful and swimming is great especially with the raft and watercraft. Not everyone was enamoured with the long walk to the lake from the house but we got used to it. All In all this is a really nice property.

Wonderful weekend at Whitestone

Kim and Dave’s place is fantastic. We were a group of 17 and slept comfortably thanks in part to the fresh towels and linens. The property offers plenty to do rain or shine with an amazingly serene lakeside dock setup paired with a projector room with ping pong, pool table and hot tub just outside. Amazing golf course (The Ridge at Manitou) less than 20 minutes away too. Can’t recommend it enough. Will certainly be back!!
