What an adorable little cabin. Clean and well stocked. The water was shallow off the dock but we were able to use the paddle boards and kayaks provided to paddle out into the deeper water and do some fishing. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. This cabin is highly rated for a reason. Would definately recommend.
A really great place to stay! Check in was easy, kitchen was well equipped for cooking needs! few things just needed to be replenished or fixed such as lighters had no fluid, some fans didn't work, battery candles didnât work which was no biggie as we were well prepared just in case with being off grid. Not having wifi was a nice way to escape, some of us still had service for GPS. We had our dog with us and she enjoyed the grounds, was a little hot for her with no air conditioning but there was a nice breeze outside for her when laying on deck or exploring!! It was really nice having paddle boards and kayaks on the property!! Fishing was good off of the little island dock on property, nice for fun easy catch and release. Was slightly disappointed that another cottage was right beside us but nobody was there during our stay which was very much appreciated just having the grounds/area to ourselves! overall nice, peaceful and relaxing place. Would recommend for sure!
We stayed 4 nights at this off-grid cabin on Burridge Lake. The location is tranquil but several issues during our stay made the experience disappointing â especially given the high cost of the rental.There were many cockroaches in the kitchen cabinets and even in the beds, which made it hard to feel at ease. The shower head dripped constantly, keeping us up at night. On the third day, the cabin ran out of freshwater entirely despite our judicious use of showers, and we had to hike out to get cell service in order to contact the owner. While they responded and pumped us more water, it was an awkward experience and this should have been anticipated and avoided.In addition, some amenities were not functional: the kayaks were missing seats and couldnât be used comfortably, and several fans werenât functioning â making the cabin very hot and stuffy in the 30C temperatures during the day.Future renters need to be aware that since there is no cell service or Wi-Fi at the property, itâs difficult to get in touch with VRBO about any issues. Their policy requires guests to report missing or broken amenities within 24 hours of check-in to be eligible for a refund or support, which is impossible to do from the cabin itself. The lakeshore in front of the cabin is very weedy and one has to paddle out well beyond the floating dock to be able to swim comfortably.Managing the cockroach infestation and maintenance of amenities is needed to justify the premium price of this rental.
The cottage was super clean and well stocked. Everything needed for cooking was available, as well as drinking water. The grounds are well kept and organized. The fire pit was lovely. The paddle boards also very useful!We had a great stay over a long weekend.
Exactly as stated! This spot was great for 4 people. Be sure to read the whole listing and reviews. The cabin was SO cute ! The lake was nice as it was a quiet lake, not like the neighbouring Bobâs Lake. Which was amazing for the paddle boards and the kayaks that they provide. AND they left a cute little package when we arrived. Would come back! 10/10
We had a very successful get away at Bay Stay. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boards, and swim dock. The cottage was very tidy and we had no issues with running out of power. Recommend staying here.
My girlfriend and I, as well as my dog spent the weekend at the Bay Stay, and even with some rain had an incredible visit. The cabin is very well stocked and prepared, and talk about spotless! We had a small welcoming basket waiting, firewood and tons of watersports equipment to enjoy during the stay. The host was attentive to messages, and the off-grid portion was not a hiccup or challenge whatsoever. The french press made great coffee, and the kitchen was well stocked with all cooking utensils. And the reviews claiming the "massive and steep hill" are only fractionally accurate, as it is steep but is maybe 50 yards long and not a challenge for the average person. We plan to come back again, do not hesitate to book!!
We enjoyed every single detail of this gorgeous cottage! I found it well-stocked; coffee, tea, ice, bottled water, right down to aluminum foil, saran wrap, and spices for cooking! It was immaculate, and cozy. We loved the "off-grid" experience, and exploring the beautiful area. Highly recommend!
Perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. The cabin was nicely decorated and equipped with everything you need! Was welcomed with a lovley basket of goodies for our stay! Will definitely come back again!
House was perfect for me and my new wife and dogs. Very clean, secluded, and quiet. Host was quick to respond with any questions I had which was greatly appreciated. Would absolutely stay again in the future.
Our first off grid long weekend was absolutely beautiful! The cottage is cozy with fabulous amenities. The towels soft and fluffy, beds comfy, a wonderful greeting basket complete with a bottle of red! Even the fire pit was stocked! No problem with the fridge and we bought a camp stove toaster to make toast on the propane stove which we left for future guests. I used my hair dryer with no issue and never ran out of power.
The description was spot on as well as the photos. The weekend did not disappoint at all!
Hint, we brought battery operated lamps and votives which lit up the cottage at night giving a lovely ambiance. My cell phone provided music that I had downloaded while playing cards. The stars at night are incredible with no light pollution from towns or other cottages.
Beautiful little cottage to get away from it all!
A Hidden Gem for Nature and Luxury Enthusiasts: The Bay Stay Cottage Review
We had the pleasure of staying at The Bay Stay cottage, and it was an absolute delight. For all you nature and luxury enthusiasts out there, this cottage is a must-visit destination.
Everything described in the listing was not only accurate but exceeded our expectations. The cottage was immaculately clean, and every detail had been thoughtfully considered. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy for us to prepare our own meals and enjoy them on the lovely patio with a view of the lake.
One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional level of privacy the cottage offered. It truly felt like our own little haven away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
We must extend our gratitude to Tyson and Katie, the wonderful hosts of The Bay Stay cottage. They gave us a warm and friendly welcome, making us feel like old friends. The complimentary basket of goodies waiting for us upon arrival was a lovely touch and greatly appreciated.
We wholeheartedly recommend The Bay Stay cottage to anyone seeking a great getaway experience and exceptional service. Tyson and Katie's dedication to making our stay memorable was evident in every aspect, and we can't thank them enough for their hospitality. Whether you're looking for a romantic retreat or a peaceful escape into nature, this cottage has it all.
We had a wonderful stay. The boys had a blast fishing, frog hunting and swimming. Lots of great memories. We like it uses solar power and we were cautious when using power.
