Check in was super easy. The owner was extremely quick with replying to any questions and the cottage was great! Only reason we gave it a 4 star instead of a 5 is because we would have loved more comfortable seating in the living room area. Other than that the place was great. Would stay again
What a lovely way to spend a couple of months in the Winter. Very cozy cottage with everything you need. Super easy access to winter sports, restaurants, grocery stores, and bigger cities if needed.
The place was clean, well-supplied with dishes, glasses and mugs, utensils, foods you may have forgotten, small appliances, tables and seats inside and out, cushions, games and more. Great programming on the TV. Helpful labels were placed where needed and a chalk board with my name welcomed me. The owner even gave us an easy-to-recall code for entry! The beds were large and comfortable, and the dressers and closets were more than adequate. The water sports equipment was generous, and with the shallow lake, beginners were safe. The instruction sheets were very clear. My visitor wants to book for the family next year. My only small complaint was the bedroom on the upper floor had no bedside lamp, so once the switch by the door was turned off the room was in darkness as you found the bed's location. Fortunately, I had a flashlight with me. The host was easy to communicate with and helpful. I would book again.
Fire pit right by the shoreline.Spent most of our time outside enjoying the fire, the beautiful views of the lake and did some kayaking. Loved how clean and cozy the cottage was and loved even more that we were able to bring our dog along w us. The neighbours are super nice and the host is well. We would love coming back again someday!
There was 6 of us total and a dog. The location was beautiful, the property was great, water was so nice, host was super friendly and firepit was so relaxing. Honestly one of the best breaks I've had here in Canada. Would 10/10 recommend this place. Will definitely be back. All of my friends and my dog had a great time.
Pros:
Shallow lake for kids/dogs
Clean
Easy check-in and check-out
Great communication with host
Fully loaded kitchen and excellent bbq grill with all tools
Generally quiet mid-week
Fully fenced-in yard
Cons:
Near busy road - constant traffic noise
Musty smell in bathroom
Some outdoor furniture needs to be replaced
Camera on balcony
Vacuum odour when used
We had great time in the house. The lake was warm (last week of May), no mosquitoes before dusk. A lot of floatables and kayaks/canoes. The lake is shallow and the bottom is muddy, so we used floatables to swim away from the shore and swim where it is deeper. The water is crystal clear, so the swim was perfect. The view from the deck is perfect. The road is close, but it didnât bother us much, especially on weekdays. The gas grill worked well (the ignition didnât work, so we had to use a gas lighter). We used just 2 bedrooms of three and the house was very comfortable for 4 adults with a 5 month baby.
This is a very nice three bedroom, waterfront, rustic and modern cottage. The master bedroom and washroom is on the main/upper floor the lower/basement floor has a family room With a gas woodstove and two bedrooms. There is a beautiful deck off the main floor which is 10 feet off the ground in the backyard and the lower floor also has a covered deck. We had a great time and I would definitely recommend this property.
The place is clean and cozy atmosphere. It has a well equipped kitchen and has a fantastic location too. My husband and I loved our stay at Cedar Haven!
Would definitely recommend and will definitely return. Thank you Ann!
We wanted to get away for a relaxing trip and that's exactly what we got. We really enjoyed the property and how simple the checkin/checkout was. Everything was clean, local stores were close and easy to get to. we'd be happy to stay again.
This was an adorable cottage with a great lakefront spot. Close to the general store which has everything you need. The cottage was clean and well maintained and had everything we needed! The property owner was very responsive and kind. I would 100% recommend this place!
Advertising is misleading for those wanting waterfront cottage to swim - especially with kids. Itâs shallow for miles with muddy /seaweed bottom. Inside is old no upgrades but clean. Living room only has one small old wicker couch no comfy and not enough comfortable seating for a family of 4 or more on main level. The host and family are lovely people. I recommend upgrades to cottage and revising the advertising.
We had a great time for our weekend stay. The chalkboard greeting was a nice touch, and the cottage smelled super fresh when we walked in the first time.
There was a vast selection of water equipment, and the canoe/kayaks are in good shape (a few spiders in them but that's hard to avoid). The dock itself was pretty solid and the backyard was really nice overall. The hanging lights really help set the mood out back.
Beds were comfortable, and ameneties inside the cottage were good. There was some wifi issues when it was raining (Point to point internet), but they sorted out in the morning.
Overall a great cottage to come to, especially with the drive not being as long from Toronto as most cottages are.
