    There is a private beach, but the lake is very weedy and not great for swimming. This is by no means the host's fault, of course! The good news is that there are several public beaches close by. I thought there might be a partition between the bedroom and living area, but it is all one big room. Again, it wasn't a huge problem, 3 adults and 2 kids were quite comfortable here. Next time, we will get the bigger cottage. There is no table tennis available, even though it is listed. This was a bit disappointing as we were looking forward to playing a bit in the evenings and/or rainy days, but this really wasn't a big deal as we had the ROKU.

    This cottage is just incredible! It is more like being in a hotel! The only thing you need to bring are your beach towels and food. You don't even have to wash dishes if you don't want to as there is a dishwasher. We had the one room chalet. The kids loved the loft. The king-sized bed was comfy, and we even slept an extra guest on the pull-out couch. The Smart TV is great for rainy days. We were able to sign into Netflix and Disney Plus, and we hooked up the Nintendo Switch for my son, with no problems. There are kayaks, bikes, and paddle boats you can use without extra charge. Life vests included! The patios/firepits are amazing, wood provided, and there is a long dock you can use as well. Everything you need is within a 5 to 10 min drive. Great heritage sites are also fairly close. We enjoyed Sainte Marie on the Hurons, and the Martyrs Shrine in Midland, and Discovery Harbour in Penetanguishene. This area is amazingly quiet. The host is wonderful and readily available if you have any questions. I highly recommend this place for families, but it would be a great romantic getaway for a couple at any time of year.

    I was expecting it to be more waterfront, and the spiders. But overall we were warned of the spiders, and it was good for me to have to face a few...

    The cottage was beautiful. I loved the dock, and all the outdoor things available to use. The host checked in and was easy to work with. I loved the spiral staircase!

    I thought it was a one-bedroom cottage, but it was more like a bed behind a kitchen wall. also, the double bed was too small for two people, it would have been better if they removed the end table and put a queen bed in that space. for that reason we would not go back to this cottage,

    it was very cozy and clean. nice location and Nicole was awesome and very accommodating. easy to find the cottage. we had a great stay. everything was updated as far as the kitchen etc...

    We should have asked about the sleeping accommodation before arrival. For our party of 2 seniors and 1 adult, thought we were getting 2 double beds. Got lovely king size bed, but pull-out couch very old and uncomfortable for the 3rd person and the loft was not an option for any of us. More direction for set up re tv viewing would be lovely, perhaps in the dresser drawer--just for tech non-savvy folk! Also, would be nice to know sooner if we forfeited any of our $500 Security held. Today is day 10 and no word yet or reflection of refund??? Will email if no word by the end of this week.

    Hostess supplied good detailed info prior to our arrival. Warm reception. Lovely interior (kitchen and accessories particularly clean, up to date and super luxurious). Convenient location for biking, other activities, touring. Free bike use a bonus. Lovely sunset from the dock! Really a lovely place for a stress-free get-away.

    Three chatlets and one lake house are closed to each other. The bay is in the west, no shade on the deck of the first chatlet from 10 AM to evening.

    Nicole did communication very well to accommodate our stay. Much appreciated it! The chatlet is supper clean. Everything looks new. The mattress is very comfortable.

    So grateful for this second time at Nicole's cottage. Extremely clean, upgraded cottages will make you appreciate every moment there, a variety of watercraft (paddleboat, canoe, kayak, paddleboard..) & bikes provided outstanding entertainment & workout. Thank you, Nicole, we'll be coming back again!!

    Room was small, had to use a card table and put it away after every use. Swimming wasn't very nice, too many weeds.

    Location was close to the Tay Shore Trail, location was very quiet. Grounds are very well maintained.

    Not much. One of the TVs had connectivity issues but the other one worked perfectly. Not a big deal at all.

    The place is amazing. You don't need too much space to have a great time. Very quiet and enjoyable. The deck with the BBQ was very nice as the kayaks and paddleboards. You can walk to Tay using the trails in less than 30m. The host was very friendly and attentive.

    Cottage 3 is tiny. It's essentially a kitchen with a bed in it. There is a downstairs basement but we found it unusable. It's accessible via a steep narrow spiral staircase. It's dark and dingy. The sofa is lumpy and TV connectivity is poor. The cottage came with a big list of rules of what not to do, but little info on how how things work - TV, cooling, cooker etc. Several of kitchen sockets didn't work. Bed was too high and bedding didn't fit which made for uncomfortable sleep.

    Beautiful lakeside location. Great water sport equipment. Well equipped kitchen.
