This property was fantastic & everything i was looking for. Spent the weekend away with the boys & couldn’t have asked for a better place. The wrap around deck was perfect for the rainy nights. Will definitely be coming back with my family!

Great place to stay for Rice Lake and surrounding area

My friends and I stayed at this location and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Everything you need was included. I found the host was easy to talk to and appreciative of the stay. I loved the fact that there were no neighbours and the property was all on its own. I'm looking forward to booking here again.

Out in the Widerness

Although the cottage is close by to the Peterborough attractions (eg Canoe Museum, Petroglyphs, Zoo, Art Gallery, Pioneer Village, Dinosaur Park) the kids enjoyed the back woods trail the best where they built a fort.

Amazing cottage

We had the best time at this cottage. It was beautiful and huge. We loved the large outdoor area, the fire pit, barbecue, and the design of everything inside. The place looks newly built, so there are a few little things that could still be improved. For example, we wish that there were mosquito nets on the windows. Some drawers in the kitchen would get a little stuck, and the dishwasher had some issues. Despite it all, the host was extremely nice, responsive and helpful. I’d absolutely recommend this cottage to others and would definitely stay here again.
