Summary: The lake was lovely, and fairly quiet. Sunsets were beautiful. The extra large water float was a big hit! 8 of us spent a couple of hours on it, each day. Surprisingly, the two small bathrooms worked out fine, for the 10 of us.The cottage was clean, but not in good enough condition to warrant the price, we paid. We knew the furniture was older, from the photos. What we didn’t expect, was a cottage that nothing had been done to it for close to fifty years. To summarize, the cottage worked out fine for the 10 of us, but a myriad of small things added up. Again we expected better, for the money. It felt as if someone had lived there, forever, and when they moved out it was put on VRBO, with everything left as it was. It is a nice cottage. If attention to details are taken care of, it will be a great rental.

Summary: Loved the accommodations and lake!! We brought our own pontoon and launched it from the public access across from the house. Easy in, easy out. Used the fire pit a couple of times. Loved the fire and not having to pay extra for the firewood. We’ve had to do that at other places we’ve stayed. Loved the house and layout. Plenty of space for everyone (8 adults, 1 infant). Easy access to neighboring towns. Went to Charlevoix one day (25min drive) and got pizza from BC pizza in town. Would stay here again!

Summary: The house was simple but clean. The upstairs stayed nice and cool. Kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking appliances. Gas grill worked great. Fire pit was well stocked with wood. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Boats were all in working order and plenty of life jackets and fishing gear. The kids loved the floating station. Everything was clean. The location was great! We loved the view and being in the water. Star gazing was incredible. House and site was as advetized. Amanda was so kind and accommodating. We would book again.

Summary: Our family of 11 enjoyed our stay and appreciated several aspects of the home. The easy access to the lake, ample sleeping accommodations, onsite laundry, and convenient amenities like the air fryer made our visit comfortable. We especially enjoyed gathering around the large dining table for family meals and game nights, and the TVs with streaming options were a nice touch. The owner was very responsive to any concerns or questions we had. The wifi worked extremely well for working a bit while there. Cell service was hit and miss and messages would sporadically go through.That said, while the home wasn’t dirty, it could benefit from a deep cleaning and some modern updates. The upstairs bedrooms have air conditioning, which was appreciated, but the rest of the home did get quite warm during hot days—though plenty of fans were provided.Overall, it was a pleasant and fun stay with a lot of potential, especially for larger families or groups.
