Perfection… in every way!
We arrived late at night and were welcomed by the friendly owner. Everything was over the top perfect and due to our late arrival, we were offered a later checkout time at no extra expense. We loved the new dock, our morning coffee by the lake and wonderful sw in the warm water. Only complaint is that we couldn’t stay longer! We will definitely be back.

Disappointed
For a facility advertised on Hotels.com, we were disappointed. No bathroom towels provided, just one small hand-towel. No morning coffee. The mattresses have seen better days and only a couple of small space-heaters had us nervous about safety. The place is better suited to people staying a week or more and bringing all their own stuff for a vacation. The nightly cost merits immediate attention to the above matters.

Beautiful cottage right on the water. Small towns located nearby to pick up the essentials. Friendly people onsite. All the other guests were respectful. Our pet was welcome. Reasonable prices for extras. Free kayak rentals! Quiet and peaceful. Have been before and will definitely return again.

My children and I enjoyed every minute we spent here! We had a beautiful beach on the same lot as the cabin. Lots of ducks to look at! A park across from our cabin. Access to a paddle boat. Literally everything we needed to make wonderful family memories!

Fantastic place! The ambiance is so relaxing and peaceful in front of a beautiful lake. We stayed in cottage #5 and it's very clean. The canoe and kayaks are complimentary for the guest to enjoy the lake.

Peaceful setting, the owner was very nice. We stayed in one of the older cabins and it was clean and perfect for our small family. We had a great time!

Loved It!!
Cabin was quaint, quiet and comfortable. Everything it promised. Wish we had more time to spend there relaxing, 2 days was not enough. Would definitely go back. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The cabin was adequately equipped, the beds comfortable. No mosquitoes or blackflies and neighbours were quiet. Kayaks and paddleboat were gratis. Only negative was that there was no internet at the cabin.

Beautiful and peaceful!
We had a lovely and relaxing overnight stay in cottage #5, with its beautiful lakefront setting on the bank of Clear Lake. Our dog enjoyed taking walks on the property and we were delighted with the peace and quiet, as well as the gorgeous view.
