Excellent stay

The cottage was perfect for us. Full of character, lovely location, a great place for us to sit out on the swing-seat and take in the quiet, the lake, colours, chipmunks and birdlife. Gary was a very helpful host, inviting us to a telescope star-gazing evening, which was a high point of our stay. Highly recommended.

Fantastic weekend vacation spot

Gary is very friendly and met us there to give us a run down of what we needed to know. The property was very well kept. It is a beautiful open concept log cabin with a beautiful outdoor firepit/ eating area. A nice set of carriage lights led down the path to the dock. The lake was a little shallow with a muddy bottom but still fantastic for swimming. The electric fireplace heats up the cabin very quickly. There are very friendly birds and chipmunks that eat seeds while you're there. Overall very quiet and cozy experience.

Peace & Quiet

Peace & Quiet was what i wanted for this year's birthday trip. And that's what I got here at the cabin house even thought it was labor day long weekend. We had a comfortable stay with a scenic view. Gary is a great host and shared his passion with us - stars and sky. Going to dark sky preserve and seeing saturn with ring and it's moon along with earth's moon was a truly memorable experience. Things i loved at this stay - peace &quiet, privacy,cozey & comfy fully functional house with amenities, being pet friendly and waterfront site. One of my favorite stays so far and 100% recommend!

Great place

We had a great time at Gary's cottage. It was clean, private and right on the lake. Gary was an excellent host and he even invited us to look at the stars from his observatory. We learned alot about stars and galaxies that night. Thank you Gary, it was pleasure meeting you and we hope to return one day!

Great getaway

Gary is an excellent host! The lake is very quiet and peaceful! Loved watching the meteor shower on the dock in our hammock 🙂 I have never seen so many stars, it was beautiful!!! And if you want to take star watching to a whole different level, hopefully you’re lucky enough that Gary will invite you to his observatory

Perfect for some R&R

We spent a week at Gary's cottage, and it was AMAZING! The cottage is beautiful, large, and very clean! Lots of space for sleeping, cooking, eating! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you'd need to cook up a great meal. The outside is the breath taker though - wow, just wow. The hubby and I enjoyed sitting on the porch swing in the mornings, down at the dock through the day, and out by the fire in the evening. We had 4 teenagers with us, and they very much enjoyed going out on the canoes provided and chilling on the dock. Gary was an exceptional host! He took us out to the dark sky preserve. We got to see some very cool equipment and got to see the moon up close. If you have the opportunity to see this, I would 100% recommend! Gary is the dark sky wizard :). He even offered to take us out on his pontoon boat for a tour of the lake. 5/5 stars! Thanks for the amazing week Gary! We will definitely be back again.

Truly relaxing respite

If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful and relaxing place to stay, this is it! The cottage offers all the modern conveniences of home. We enjoyed every morning on the porch swing watching the birds and feeding the chipmunks and squirrels. We spent our days canoeing and floating in the quiet lake and were blessed to see and hear loons. The stars at night were phenomenal! Gary took us to the local observatories where we enjoyed both night and day star gazing. Gary could not have been a more perfect host - he was immediately responsive when we had any questions and provided us privacy for the week. Gary went over and above with his introduction to the place, the area and other features and attractions. We will absolutely stay here again!

Great Canada Day Weekend Getaway

A nice serene drive on Farm Lake Trail takes you to a beautiful authentic Log house. House comes equipped with everything you need. A modest dock was enough for 4 friends to get some sun, have a few brewskies and enjoy the scenic lake. A little bit of fishing and some canoeing really hit the spot. There’s a nice fire pit too but unfortunately a fire ban in the area at the time did not let us make use of it. Would rent it again.

Relaxation vacation!

This cottage is just right. Everything you need for a perfectly relaxing vacation. Although the weather didn’t exactly cooperate with our plans we had an extremely relaxing 5 days. Gary is an extremely attentive host, offered both a boat ride tour of the lake and to share his passion for star gazing. This cottage has everything you need for a quiet getaway. The cottage is fully equipped in the kitchen with all the comforts of home. We absolutely recommend for a quiet getaway, to do some fishing, napping and family bonding. Thanks for a great week Gary!

Lovely stay! We spent 2 nights at Gary's beautiful log cabin with our boys. It was relaxing and just what we needed. House was very spacious & well equipped, gas fireplace kept us warm in the cold nights, and the natural surroundings was therapeutic. Gary was super friendly and prompt, can't wait to come back.

Great Place

Gary is awesome. If you have a chance (and clear skies) to take him up on his offer to show you the stars over the dark sky preserve - go! The cottage is as advertised. We didn’t have great weather, but this is a place to disconnect and unwind. The dock is great for sitting out on and also good for launching kayaks. The kitchen is well equipped, the drinking water is excellent and the beds are comfy. Thanks Gary!

Nice cabin sheltered in the trees

We had a nice relaxing week here. It's a bit to get to the closest hiking trails (20-30 min+) but there are a number around. The lake was quiet, and we had a nice breeze despite the tree cover all around the cabin. Gary responded quickly and was happy to show us his astronomy setup, and the nearby dark sky preserve. The clouds didn't always cooperate, but that's life. The local plevna grocery isn't that well stocked, so if you are planning to get groceries up here, drive to sharbot lake or northbrook, much better selection (~30 minutes).

Quiet and peaceful

Beautiful lakeside log cottage, nestled into the trees so keeps cool on the hot summer days. Well stocked kitchen with all the basics, ceramic flat top stove, large fridge with excellent large freezer. Host Gary is close by, very available and very helpful. Good walking trails around the cottage, we stayed close to home with our older dog, but lots of good day trips with easy access. We had a quiet and restful week, just what the doctor ordered!
