Fantastic week

Great location on Halls Lake - which was clean, and beautiful. The cottage is clean, with accurate pictures. The kitchen had many utensils needed. Even though there is no AC, we didn’t need it - there were lots of fans available and the breeze off the late was refreshing. Thanks for a great week.

Great location.

The cottage was located on beautiful Halls Lake. We snowmobiled to the scenic OFSC trails directly from the cottage. The cottage was large and spacious and had a well stocked kitchen. The air hockey table was a bonus downstairs. Eric was quick to respond to all of our questions. Overall a great stay at the Cardinal Pines Cottage.

Had a nice stay

We had a nice week at this property. Lots of ammenities and activities available and plenty of space in this clean cottage. I wish there were pictures that show that this property is shared with a handful of other cottages. Although the dock is private, we had a few different groups use the dock for swimming and taking pictures. Overall a nice trip and we would recommend the place, only gripe would be the lack of privacy.
