Non mi è piaciuto: Check-in
The plumbing was a little off The games available were ok Had a hard time getting in as the lockbox was not very good and the secondary access was just as bad. Once in it was clean. Need to have a better upgrade with the pots and pans. Some overall minor issues price was high need to share the expense.

We had the cabin for a week and it was great. The area is quiet, nice and a great place to start exploring, e.g. Algonquin park, Ottawa …The rooms are nice and comfy. The lake view is a blast.Communication was quick an easy through the app.One of the toilets quit its job and the host sent a plumber and the cleaning lady right away.The kitchen cutlery needs an upgrade and due to the fact that this cottage uses a well, there might be limited water and also water pressure is low.We had a great stay and enjoyed the porch, Terrasse and the Great Lake view. Went fishing and used the canoe. Close to Bancroft for getting every day stuff and to start a trip

Great cottage, convenient location
We stayed at the cottage in late September and had a great time. The cottage is large, clean and well furnished. Location is convenient, relatively close to Bancroft but still quite quiet.

This place was beautiful, clean, and had lots of fun activities to do. When we had to add a person last minute to our stay, the property manager was so kind and it wasn't an issue at all.

Right on the Snowmobile Trail....!
The property was just as described and was perfect for 5 guys with 3 trucks and trailers. The marked OFSC trail passes on the lake directly in front of the cottage. Communication with the host was excellent. We enjoyed the entire 5 night stay.

I had booked this cottage for my son to stay over the weekend with his group of friends to celebrate his birthday. They were 9 and had the best time! The place was clean, full of fun stuff to do, like playing fuss ball and canoeing. There were enough rooms and washrooms for everyone. The host, Mustafa, was amazing. He was quick to answer any questions we had. You will not regret choosing this place

Quiet & Secluded Beautiful Rental
The property was amazing with a lot of space (inside & outside), modern decor, great amenities, and incredibly peaceful. Loved the hot tub, kayaks/canoe, fire pit, and games included. Lake is small & shallow but great for kayaking. The owner answered all questions immediately and the entire stay was awesome. Sad to leave.

Amazing Family Getaway
We stayed for 4 nights and loved every minute of it. In the middle of the forest, water front and with LOTS to do! This place was amazing and we cannot recommend it enough! The house is gorgeous with open concept and nice views. The owner was super responsive and very friendly! Hot tub, kayaks, canoes, life vests, and EVERYTHING you need inside the house, you couldn't ask for more!!

Nice
Place was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay...I would recommend a carpet runner for the stairs they are very slippery and the place needs a toaster.

We had a good time overall but the owners need to invest in basic maintenance and replacing a few essentials. I recommend this place for up to 6 people (not 8).The house was very clean, beds were fairly comfortable, and the kayaks and fire pit were a highlight. The lake is peaceful but, as described, not practical for swimming. The owner was helpful and quick to respond.The home is on a well service. Instructions sent a few days before check-in said to bring bottled water (or boil it) and to space out showers by about an hour to allow the well to refill. This should be clearly stated in the listing instead of only saying “UV-filtered drinking water.” No issues with water pressure.The deck gets full sun from mid-morning to late afternoon with no shade or umbrella. The walkout basement has two rooms—one lacks curtains, and the other has no windows (great if you like a dark room for sleeping). Some ceiling vent covers are still missing (see June 2025 review), so it stays much colder in the basement than the rest of the house.The main freezer doesn’t work (a smaller one does). Bath towels need replacing, and one set of sheets was heavily pilled and uncomfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, but many small pots and some pans are badly scratched or burned, and some plastic-handled cutlery is falling apart. The BBQ struggled to keep heat (we finished cooking the food using the microwave). The range hood filters are clogged and filthy, several light bulbs were burned out...
