Great spot right on the water

It was perfect for both the kids (large lawn) and adults (great view, outdoor fireplace, deck). Particularly appreciated having a canoe available, although we hit a rainy day and could not go out, but great to have the option.

Great beaches and great wineries. As for property, NOT good for kayaking or canoeing. No placemats or tablecloth available, so bring your own!?

Lovely lakefront!

This cottage is right on the bay, with a huge waterfront, outdoor fireplace, two patios and lots of outdoor space! The children loved running around, marvelled at the ducks and geese. Inside is very spacious, tastefully decorated, and very comfortable. We had a great time. Our host met us upon arrival and came back as we were leaving, very friendly and punctual. Great stay!

PEC visit

The house was very nice inside. The decks could use some sprucing up. A lot of outdoor seating. Front porch needed proper seating. Toilet paper disposal should be mentioned in the listing Overall it is a very nice place to stay.

Lovely family stay

We had a wonderful time with our family for a long-weekend stay! Lots of great amenities including a BBQ and games room. It was great having access to a full kitchen. The room AC was great for warm nights and additional fans were helpful. We were all very comfortable. We loved the amazing outdoor spaces - badminton and chairs around a fire pit. Close to restaurants and Walmart for groceries. Very private, away from the road which we also liked. Water access although we did not use the kayaks or canoe on our visit. Our kids really loved it and we will definitely plan to stay again.

Une belle expérience

Nous avons bien apprécié notre séjour. La maison est grande et il y a de l'espace pour tout le monde. Tout est disponible pour y passer un bon séjour! Par contre les lits au 2eme étage sont tous très dur et l'accès au lac est difficile à cause des immenses roches qui sont sur le bord de l'eau.

Beau potentiel mais décevant

L’intérieur est bien décoré, les grandes fenêtres donnent une belle vue sur le lac et le terrain est clôturé donc bien pour la sécurité de notre petit chien. Nous avons été très déçus pour 2 choses importantes: pas d’accès au plan d’eau, pas aménagé et la maison était malpropre. Il y avait des fils d’araignées et des insectes dans les coins de murs et armoires et il a fallu tout relaver la vaisselle avant de l’utiliser. Les lits étaient propres au moins. Et les vélos étaient où?

Cute getaway close to wine country

We had a very relaxing stay at Jennifer's waterfront property! Really loved the big windows facing the lake, the big outdoor spaces, and spacious indoors. Good location -- just a half hour drive to the best wineries in the county, and very close to groceries at Walmart. The waterfront is indeed weedy as the listing says, but for some reason there weren't as many mosquitoes as expected! Also if you get out on the canoe, try to find a less weedy path to the open water, or your arms will have quite the workout! Also the bidet in the bathroom was a nice surprise.

Girls Weekend

We loved the location as we were directly on the water and there is a walking trail you can take to get to the downtown area. Overall the stay was amazing. We had everything we needed to enjoy the great outdoors at night around the fire or watching movies inside when it was raining. The only thing that needs a little tlc is the beds upstairs. Jenn was absolutely wonderful to deal with. She got back to me very quickly when I had any questions. Thank you for everything.

Nice cottage for a relaxing getaway

A nice cozy cottage, perfect getaway for the long weekend. The only downside was finding out there was an eco friendly toilet and not being told that toilet paper can’t be flushed down toilet before arrival.

Great Post-pandemic Getaway

Nicely furnished two-storey home; great quiet patio with good barbeque (gas supplied); large yard that we used for bocce ball and croquet; great tv options for rainy days; lovely view of lake with lots of bird activity to entertain (primarily swans and ducks); lots of pictures to take of large planes from nearby air force base . However, if you want to step off the deck to go swimming, this is not the cottage for you - not very good for swimming (weeds and algae) or boating (poor access to water). But close to some beautiful Provincial Park beaches (a park pass was supplied); lots of wineries to visit to taste and buy some really good wines and great food. Good post-pandemic shopping in both Trenton and Brighton (my first time in a clothing store in over a year).
