Excellent Cottage on the most amazing Lake!

From the moment we walked in we were welcomed with coziness. Everything was exactly as described and in a perfect location in the Chanel allowing easy boat side pickups and drop offs with friends and family who live on GL. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

If water issue is resolved, I would book again.

Very nice cottage. The issue with the sulphur water was terrible. However, we appreciated the quick response from property owners. Due to holiday weekend, the water issue could not be resolved. Thank you for your efforts!

Quaint

Nice area. Beautiful back yard. Very dark in the house unless all lights were on in living room and dining room, even during the day. Water smells like rotten eggs when used and twice had to wait after it ran out. View from the patio to the channel is blocked by weeds outside of windows when sitting down. Perhaps for a younger couple. Overall enjoyed our stay.

A Relaxing Weekend

We checked in Thursday and left Sunday morning. The cottage was clean and well maintained. The bed was comfortable. The waterfront provided mostly good fishing and all good relaxing views. If you're not used to well water, you'd do well to bring in water for drinking. It was, all in all, a lovely, relaxing weekend!

Nice stay

Nice cozy lake house. The kayaks and canoe were a fun plus. The bathroom was small but adequate. Check in and out was super easy. I would recommend that you bring your own drinking water. Overall: thumbs up, we would come back! Had a nice relaxing weekend. Thanks to the owners for sharing your peaceful getaway with us!

Perfect

Cute, cozy house. Quiet, beautiful scenery. If you don't mind a short drive to attractions, this is a perfect location. You can also enjoy the lake while you're there. House has a canoe and kayak and you can dock your own boat right outside the house. Bring your fishing poles and enjoy the day. There was a private garden that I especially enjoyed, having an invisible disability.

Just what we needed!

Our ten day stay on Gravel Lake was everything we hoped for! We have rented from Sue, Cathy and Andy two years in a row in lake houses next to each other. Our daughter rented a house from them the same week we were there. All three homes are very comfortable, well equiped and clean. The beds are comfortable and bedding is provided. The kitchens are well stocked for cooking meals for our big family. The owners are always available for questions and conversation about the area. They were SO accommodating when we asked if our daughter could park at the pier at our house for dinner. As one of our daughters and grandchildren own on Gravel Lake we plan to return and rent from Cathy, Sue and Andy every summer! We may even be back for a weekend this summer! Thanks for all you do to make our stay amazing!
