Family celebration
We were at Cutis’s lovely home for 3 nights over the Thanksgiving weekend. We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary with the kids and grandkids. There was something for everyone there! Everyone enjoyed the pool table and ping pong. It was fun to try shuffleboard and air hockey. The kids took out the canoe and a kayak and the young ones even had a quick dip in the lake. Others just fished. The whole area is beautiful, especially in the fall. We were very happy with our time together there.

Nice cottage with lots to do
Stayed here as part of a group of eight friends. The main room is beautiful and we loved hanging out there when we weren't sipping coffee on the dock. There was also plenty of space indoors and outdoors to spread out throughout the day, with lots of things to do (as described in the listing). Curtis was an excellent host -- very accommodating, communicative and generous with the check-in treats ;) We had a great time overall and would certainly recommend the place. Be aware, though, that this is an actual family-owned cottage, and as such, it isn't one of those pristine "investment properties" with coordinated linens, zero clutter, and so on. This place has personality and quirks (for example: good luck figuring out what half the light switches do). Bottom line: if a cozy, somewhat weathered and 100% authentic vibe is what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed.

Family vacation on the lake
We had a fantastic time staying at this lakehouse! My favourite part was being on the water paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boating. The lake is beautiful! Curtis is a great host, very accommodating and communicated well with us all weekend. Would definitely go back!

A Long Weekend with Friends
Curtis is an exceptional host. He was welcoming, clear, and responded quickly with all communication. He made sure we had everything we needed and wanted us to have a great time in his space. The cottage has lots of character and you can tell is well loved by the family! It's a warm, rustic meeting place for family and friends- this is not a "white and grey, newly renovated McMansion" like many cottage rentals these days. Highlights of the rental include plenty of toys: movies for days, water toys, firewood, BBQs, everything you need to relax and have fun. The kitchen is well stocked, the many beds have clean bedding provided, and the bathrooms were both clean with lots of towels and toiletries. The lake access and swimming is fantastic. Great dock with chairs for hanging at the water. One note that was unclear to me from the listing is the bedroom division. There are three bedrooms on the main floor, plus a large loft that has many beds, which opens onto the living room. Something to consider if privacy and noise is an issue for your group. Overall, I'd highly recommend.

INCREDIBLE
This cottage is labelled the fun house and it certainly is - the place has every game and movie you could think of - air hockey and darts and pacman and shuffle board and ping pong and pool but also tons of toys and boats down at the water and lots of other outdoor games. The host is the most lovely person who is so helpful and was just amazing. The swimming is amazing and the dock and the lake are fantastic. I would give this 5 stars - so much to do esp if it is raining and I would love to rent again The whole family just loved it. Thanks Curtis and family!

Cottage with lots to do
Great host and location, lake is very clear, great fishing and lots of things to do. There are three private sleeping rooms and many beds on the upper mezz. Everyone slept very well, washrooms on both levels were very convenient and all the games and activities inside made for a great time even in bad weather. the common area on the main level was well laid out for large groups and the swing chair in the middle was a big hit. Would definitely go back.

We had an amazing time at Curtis’ place! Extremely comforting, beautifully decorated, and full of things for us to do! Clean and easy access to the lake made our trip go extra smoothly! The dock was spacious for our group to chill around, and had lots of space for us to leave our jet-skis docked.
