Perfection… in every way!

We arrived late at night and were welcomed by the friendly owner. Everything was over the top perfect and due to our late arrival, we were offered a later checkout time at no extra expense. We loved the new dock, our morning coffee by the lake and wonderful sw in the warm water. Only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer! We will definitely be back.

Disappointed

For a facility advertised on Hotels.com, we were disappointed. No bathroom towels provided, just one small hand-towel. No morning coffee. The mattresses have seen better days and only a couple of small space-heaters had us nervous about safety. The place is better suited to people staying a week or more and bringing all their own stuff for a vacation. The nightly cost merits immediate attention to the above matters.

Beautiful cottage right on the water. Small towns located nearby to pick up the essentials. Friendly people onsite. All the other guests were respectful. Our pet was welcome. Reasonable prices for extras. Free kayak rentals! Quiet and peaceful. Have been before and will definitely return again.

My children and I enjoyed every minute we spent here! We had a beautiful beach on the same lot as the cabin. Lots of ducks to look at! A park across from our cabin. Access to a paddle boat. Literally everything we needed to make wonderful family memories!

Fantastic place! The ambiance is so relaxing and peaceful in front of a beautiful lake. We stayed in cottage #5 and it's very clean. The canoe and kayaks are complimentary for the guest to enjoy the lake.

Loved It!!

Cabin was quaint, quiet and comfortable. Everything it promised. Wish we had more time to spend there relaxing, 2 days was not enough. Would definitely go back. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The cabin was adequately equipped, the beds comfortable. No mosquitoes or blackflies and neighbours were quiet. Kayaks and paddleboat were gratis. Only negative was that there was no internet at the cabin.

Beautiful and peaceful!

We had a lovely and relaxing overnight stay in cottage #5, with its beautiful lakefront setting on the bank of Clear Lake. Our dog enjoyed taking walks on the property and we were delighted with the peace and quiet, as well as the gorgeous view.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely quiet setting

The little cottage (#5) was lovely and had everything one would need for a short stay. There was a sweet two-seater rocking chair that we moved to the side of the lake and spent a delightful evening watching the sun set and the family of ducks that came to visit. The highway seems close on the map, but the road sound was very faint - only noticeable when I actively tried to hear it. There is a fire pit and gas barbecue along with an equipped small kitchen (toaster oven, no range, bar fridge, electric kettle.) The only thing missing would be an armchair inside the cabin for a rainy day.

Beautiful area, request a renovated cabin..

We really enjoyed our stay!! The lake and area was beautiful, however the cabin was very old and out-dated (should we return, we would request one of the renovated cabins). However it was comfortable and had adequate cookware to make our dinner, as the cabins are quite remote. The staff is very friendly and we enjoyed getting information about the area. They also had firewood for purchase which made for a delightful evening sitting beside the fire pit, watching the wildlife and water activity.

Nice cozy "rustic" cottages by the lake.

Very much enjoyed the stay. Oxygen, and rustic. Well supplied, though some coffee to use in the coffee pot would have been nice. The beds could use better mattresses. Staff was very friendly.
