Nice place.

Beautiful cottage. Has AC and also heating for cold nights. Wood stove worked well for extra heat. We were counting on using the BBQ a couple of nights but the burner tubes were so rusty they were falling apart. A new BBQ is required. During the tornado watch when the cottage lost power the owner kept us informed by text of the Hydro One alerts when power would be restored which was great.

Great Weekend Away

The cottage was absolutely beautiful with a great view overlooking the river. Chris and Alina did a great job making us feel welcomed and providing a clean and comfortable cottage to stay. With a nice walkout to the water it made it easy for me to take my dogs for a swim. We hope we get to come back soon!

Tilleys place

Overall good. Water entrance safe for kids. Bbq needs cleaning. Dog hair prevalent. Some people reacted to dog hair with slight allergies. Some amenities lacking.

Great fully stocked cottage!

We had a great time - cottage and property are lovely! Has everything you need for a great vacation. Only tricky thing was the stairs with 2 little babies. Very steep for lots of up and down but otherwise everything was perfect

Beautiful modern A frame

We loved this newly renovated cottage. The River water was clean, shallow at the entrance then gets deeper as you swim further in. The cottage was equipped with all new appliances and kitchen needs. There’s a paddle boat for use, but wish there was at least a canoe or or kayak to explore the river/lake more. There are no blinds, so if you like to sleep with blackout blinds, it may be too bright for you in the mornings. Host was super responsive and gave clear directions.

Great stay

Had a great stay at Alina’s cottage rental. Very easy to find, easy check in, and nice cottage exactly as described. The beach had nice soft sand which was an added bonus. Very clean cottage, and very spacious. Would definitely stay again.

Modern cottage

Lovely A-frame cottage modernized with all the comforts of home. Gracious host who reached out to check that we needed anything and left a note and a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. Took one star off as the steps to the ground floor are steep with no railing. Could be a safety hazard for small children and seniors. Overall a great place to relax and watch the boats on the river!

Cozy and well equipped

Our stay at this cottage was great. We arrived to a welcome note from the owners and a bottle of wine. Nice touch! It's comfortable, cozy and very well stocked. The location superb. It rained the day we arrived so the outdoor furniture cushions were soaking wet but that was the only negative. The beds are comfortable, wifi worked great and the kitchen had everything you would need. There is a new dock to lounge on and enjoy watching the boat traffic. We would definitely return to this location.

Amazing location

My family of 6 stayed July 2022 and we absolutely loved this cottage. Alina our host was wonderful and very helpful. The cottage is a modern A-Frame with a large open concept kitchen. Very nice upper deck and large new dock. Being on the river is nice and there is great fishing off if the dock! Overall great week. Thank you.
