Pond hockey weekend

Another great visit for our annual pond hockey getaway. Ice quality is always a roll of the dice but Tyler was accommodating with ice prep. Will be coming back next year.

Great location

Host was quick to respond. We were looking to rent some jet skis and he was able to provide a variety of options in the area. Cottage was clean, well stocked and had everything we needed. Would recommend

Awsome Place

Very neat, clean, spacious and great spot. The cottage is very well maintained and is fully loaded with every thing you may need during your stay. Cottage is located at the end of the road with awesome view of lake on both sides. We stayed for two nights, wished could have stayed at least one night more, but was not available. Fellon falls is just about 15 mins driver that is a very nice place to visit. Over all our stay was great, would certainly re book next year Canoe/ Kayaks were available however they are good fit for kids under 14 years, would be great if two kayaks for adults may also be provided. Its recommended if the check out time can be changed to 11am instead of 10am. Over all we would like to give 5 star rating to this place and loved the cottage

Great cottage but some aspects being neglected

Pros: The cottage itself and location were great, plenty of room and gorgeous views. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Cons: Check in was not smooth, It was 10 minutes after my check in time and I had not received the details yet. Contacted the manager and was then given instructions but we were not able to get in. The alarm went off and it was then unlocked remotely. We received another code. The base of the bbq had not been properly cleaned for a while so it burst into flames with our food in it when we tried to use it the first time but after cleaning it out ourselves we had no issues with it, it's a good bbq. There were no paddles for the two child kayaks and the seats are broken on the canoe so bring your own if you enjoy kayaking or canoeing. A few adult kayaks would have been nice. It was a great place but I guess due to the fact it is currently for sale, the exterior has been somewhat neglected and no concern for the fact the boats are not really usable.

Worth every penny

We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The property owner was really approachable. It was our daughter’s 1st birthday, so we wanted to create good memories with family. It was worth every penny. Harneet and Rahul
