Cozy Place
We stayed here for a weekend for our annual sisters trip. The booking was smooth, instructions were clear, and the cottage had everything we needed. Since it was February, we appreciated all of the cozy blankets and pillows for our use. You can tell that the Bickle sisters put a lot of effort into making sure you have a fantastic experience.

Perfect Winter Weekend
It was my husband’s 50th birthday and I surprised him with a weekend getaway with friends & family. The Bickle sisters were very hospitable and I was able to do an early check in to set up everything before coming back to the cottage with my husband. The location was perfect bc it was 1 hour outside of the gta. The cottage was very clean and love the decor in the home. You can really feel the amount of love that’s put into their cottage. It was great that we were able to have a fire outside in the month of January and during the day walked outside on the frozen lake. I’m sure we will be back again. Cristina & Francois

Amazing Modern Cottage
We had an absolutely great time at this cottage! It was even more impressive in person than the pictures - the Bickle sister thoughts about every minute detail and made everything easy, from getting the kayaks/ canoes to throwing away the garbage. We would recommend this to everyone, and definitely stay again! Liam

Awesome cottage
Our stay was was great. The cottage was cozy but with a nice comfortable modern feel. The kitchen was amazing. The views of the lake from the deck were beautiful but even if you wanted to stay inside you could get a great view of the sunset. Bedrooms were all clean with nice beds. Loved how they offered canoes and kyaks aswell. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a waterfront property

This property was exactly as shown in the pictures. Very clean, comfortable and a beautiful view of the lake from the back room. Lots of seating for a large group. The owners are awesome and approachable. Very well stocked with kitchen items and towels for our use. There were 7 guests and we didn't find it crowded at all. I would certainly book again.

A perfect weekend, grateful!
The Bickle cottage was lovely in every respect. It was both homey and classy. Our family and friends were perfectly accommodated in the bedrooms, large common areas and waterfront. We really enjoyed our campfires, exploring the lake, generous common areas for discussion, games and music. We would love to make this our annual cottage vacation place!

Checks all the boxes
Way to many pluses to list. Ill try anyway. Beautiful cottage interior. Very comfortable. Fans in the room (big plus). Great kitchen island. Seating for family meals around diningroom table or sitting out front enjoying the sun. Good yard with space to enjoy a fire. The only thing that woukd be better is a bit more yard space and entry into the water thats a bit easier. It had everything we needed.

Fantastic Family Vacay at Bickle Cottage
Our family of 8, plus two dogs, had an absolutely fantastic time, and made some wonderful memories, over our week long stay. This cottage has been thoughtfully and tastefully renovated and provides all of the modern conveniences while still keeping the wonderful character and charm of the original cottage. The kitchen is bright, modern and well appointed. The family/dining room area is open, airy and spacious with a spectacular view of the lake. Beds were super comfy. Greatly appreciated the washer/dryer. Lovely sitting area on the back porch and at the front of the cottage there is plenty of seating and was quite lovely as well. We would highly recommend this cottage and would love to return one day.
