Read reviews b4 hand and disagree with a few. The accuracy of description was dead on. Hence why we booked. Very clean when we arrived and I very much enjoyed no cell service. Internet worked fine 4us and that said it was only used 2 check weather. Our 3 boys ages 5,7 and 12 enjoyed the experience. David and his wife will definitely hear from us on future bookings. Thanks David

Enjoyed our time, this could be exactly what you are looking for, can’t be too picky about mouse droppings though, it is an old house and they are active at night, food needs to be put away. Beautiful sunsets, calm quiet lake at night, good swimming at the floating platform. The road is close and a little loud in the day with dust kicked up from the gravel road, but not overly disruptive. I wouldn’t bring small toddlers if you are expecting to go in right at the water’s edge as it is muddy. Overall as described, cute but rustic.

J'ai beaucoup aimé le chalet.L'emplacement est magnifique et la chaloupe a été bien appréciée. Lorsque que nous sommes arrivés il y avait énormément de poussière nous avons donc fait un bon nettoyage pour bien profiter du chalet.J'y retournerais sans hésiter en sachant même que je dois nettoyer.

Amazing spot for a long weekend, I enjoyed bbq grill, fire pot, forest, lake, canoe, even though mattress not really comfortable and some things to get fixed by yourself, I really enjoyed my time in this place. Owner is really reachable and kind.

L’état du chalet était atroce. De la saleté, de la poussière, de la moisissure. J’ai même pas osé prendre une douche tellement c’était pas propre. Les ustensiles de cuisine étaient sales. 2 ronds de poêle sur 4 ne fonctionnaient pas. Les gilets de sauvetage étaient moisis. Les deux portes ne se barrent pas. Il était censé laisser de l’eau potable et il n’y avait rien. Pas de wifi comme dans l’annonce. Des canots mal entretenus.

1. No running water (no shower, sink, toilet boll flushing) 2. There were mice nests in the house, we also saw suspicious things in the couch / sofa (to us they looked like maggots) 3. NO WIFI (even tho they stated it) 4. Everything is outdated (couch has crumbles and is dirty) 5. The beds were bent and terrible 6. The canoe is not well maintained (unstable and doesn't float above surface) 7. I had to run after him for a refund (which we agreed upon) and made it stressful and was not proactive. 8. The house is tilted towards the water side (there vas an angle in the house)

A nice little quiet place, well worth it. David was communicative and helpful.

I spent 5 nights at this little cottage on the lake as a solo traveler with my dog. Pictures are very accurate. This is a rustic older cottage and not luxury by any means, however the ad never promotes luxury. Things go wrong and things break, and as a frequent cottagers you have to roll with the punches and solve any little hiccups that you encounter. I would rent this cottage again for sure. A little close to the road then I had hoped for, as I love quiet and solitude when leaving the city, so you do hear road traffic on the dirt road, and it can be busy at times. The fence helps with traffic lights at night. The hiking trails are magnificent, I rented in the Fall and its was just gorgeous. I will add that the hiking trails would be considered advance hiking and not necessarily for beginners or young children. The back patio door locks and the front door could use a little work to help lock better, thats if if people have to have a locked door. This did not bother me at all and I rented solo. I had a wonderful small get away, having a small fire in the wood stove in the morning while sipping coffee was such a treat and having an out fire at the pit was so nice eith a glass of wine after dinner on a cool evening. Older furniture as you would expect in an older cottage. I could do away with the carpet in the bedrooms as I have allergies, but as I mentioned previously I did not let the small things effect me or my stay. David is very responsive to inquires and questions and I met friendly people in the area walking along the roads to the hiking trails. I would add the vrbo ad that renters must bring septic friendly toilet paper to protect your septic tank, thank you David for making sure thete was dome at the cottage. The steps down to the dock are steep when you not used to them, I would have taken the canoe out around the lake, but got busy hiking around the forest as I love to photograph. Great little spot, thank you David for everything and I really enjoyed my stay at your little cottage on the lake 😁 Kimberly

David’s description is accurate. This is a basic old school cottage. Don’t go here if you expect perfection. The outdoor spaces, lake view and rowboat were perfect. It was a nice place to relax and enjoy a quiet weekend on a beautiful lake. The swimming raft looks great but it was too cold to take advantage of the water.

The Good - what a wonderful, peaceful, quiet location with a lovely lake, canoeing, great hiking trails across the lake, a fire pit with supplied wood. We loved making a fire in the woodstove inside to take chill and dampness off. We also enjoyed the games that were supplied. We did not see any mice during our stay. The Bad - When we arrived we cleaned the cottage for two days so that we could be more relaxed. The Ugly - No matter where we looked there were either thick layers of dust or grunge on very surface. It looked like the cottage had not been cleaned for months. There were mouse droppings in the kitchen cabinets, in the bathroom and other areas of the cottage. We washed out the fridge before we put our food in, we washed out the first shelf of the kitchen cabinets and washed all the dishes on that shelf, we scrubbed the kitchen, livingroom and bathroom floors as well as the shower. What a difference that made. When I turned down the bed the sheets had not been changed and were full of pet hair. Fortunately there were some new sheets and we used those. Suggestions - From one VRBO property owner to another. Fire your cleaning crew and hire someone who can clean. Your guests will thank you.
