Beautiful quiet winter get-away
What a wonderful place! As all guests have noted, the cottage is extremely comfortable and beautiful. On cold winter days the wood stove (and plentifully supplied wood) keeps the house cosy, and the vast glass front to the cottage allows one to feel you are sitting in the woods. In December it was extremely quiet, we didn't see anyone else nearby or on the lake - making for a very remote and relaxing experience. We were able to walk on the frozen lake and along snowy roads, as well as cook in the well-equipped kitchen and hang out comfortably in the open living space. I would recommend this place as a winter getaway to anyone who likes to feel far from everything - it was just perfect.We (and the owners!) had the bad luck of the water pipes failing for pretty much all of our stay (no fault of anyone's... and not likely to happen again I wouldn't think now that things are repaired) - so we had a bit more of rustic week than planned for. Samantha and Rob were, of course, extremely responsive. They gave us the choice of leaving with a full refund for days not stayed, or of providing us with water for us to 'rough it.' Given that this happened over xmas, the level of help and efforts to fix the situation were really stellar. No one wants or anticipates this kind of crisis - but when things happen, then having kind and responsive hosts is what is needed, and Samantha and Rob really were great.Would recommend this place without reservations.
