Perfect spot
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful 3 night stay. The property had everything we needed and was a perfect location for enjoying nature with also close proximity to shops in case we needed something. The cabin was comfortable and we had plenty of water kitchen supplies.

Very nice
Great place to stay. Exactly like described in the ad. Peaceful and quiet. Everything you need was provided. A bit of a walk to the water, but the lake is amazing. Would stay again. Side note, phone works the whole time and always shady and cool on hot days.

Fantastic Glamping Experience
Beautiful property, with a great little hike through the forest to the lake. We took advantage of the stand-up paddle board and the kayak, and the swimming was fantastic. I am an avid camper, my partner is not; the glamping experience was a perfect compromise. The listing is very accurate, so we were able to prepare well for our trip, and it turned out lovely.

Wonderful Stay
Wonderful property surrounded by forest. It was a lovely, cute and peaceful place to stay in the fall. We explored Arrowhead Provincial Park and Huntsville during the day and enjoyed campfires by the cabin at night!

Perfect spot to disconnect
Had such a nice stay at the cabin! The lake was beautiful to kayak on and swim in, and the dock was the perfect spot to watch the sun set every night. The outdoor kitchen had everything I needed - salt, pepper, and cooking oil provided was a nice touch. Was a short drive from both Huntsville and Burk's Falls for groceries and sightseeing (Screaming Heads was a great spot to check out.) The listing and communication from Kiyo was very clear about what to expect; all my questions were answered in advance. Highly recommended - I hope to head back!

A quiet woods oasis!
A quiet, clean, well maintained cabin with all the glamping amenities you expect, but nothing that you don't need. A short walk to a pristine lake, a bbq and a firepit. Everything I needed to reset. Kiyo is responsive if needed, but has provided everything you need in advance. If you are looking to disconnect for a few days this is a great place to do it.

Peaceful and Private
A Beautiful lake and trails minutes away from the cabin and we had everything we needed in the outdoor kitchen. The bbq grill was a huge plus since we did all our cooking with it. Spent majority of our time by the lake where we also went kayaking which was a beautiful experience. It was a very peaceful and quite trip for us, we really couldn’t ask for more. The host was also very nice and informative and we are looking forward to coming back next summer!
