- Tania (10/5): Cottage exceeded expectations, hosts were excellent. - Location was so close to town, easy to get ice cream and groceries in a few minutes. Cottage was bigger than photos showed. Lots of space and great stocked kitchen. Being on the river was fabulous. Super clean and spacious. Wish we had a shady space during midday. Otherwise all was great, happy for the a/c.
- denny (7/5): - Very peaceful N/A
- Garnier (4/5): - L'environnement de la rivière La location vétuste : viens canapés, vieilles lampes de chevet abîmées, des plaids trop petits pour les lits (pas de couvertures).
Peu soigné dans l'ensemble: hote très très grasse,moutons sous les lits ect.....
- ghaffari (9/5): - Location 10/10 Mattress covers were not the best
- alexander john (10/5): A good place to stay and relax . - Quiet and peaceful.
- Lea Ann (3/5): -
- Julie (10/5): We had a great time, the cottage was perfect and location is great. I will definitely be back. - Beautiful property right by the water. I loved everything
- Dragozetic (1/5): Owner will not respond to text messages,emails, or voice mail - Just the river but getting to the dock with a broken ramp made it difficult. The plastic chairs are rotten and the legs gave out and i landed on the dock. The dock was littered with goose droppings.
Owner statement " it's not a hotel" wow It's all about $$$ Well the cottage was 37 degrees no blinds in the kitchen NO AIR Conditioning. Carpenter ants in bathroom and kitchen area. I told the owner previously about the carpenter ants . We found that the baseboards where still on even at 37 degrees celsius unbelievable. Broken blinds
- Alex (10/5): Exceptional - Peaceful Riverfront Escape – Highly Recommended!
We had a wonderful stay at this charming 4-bedroom cottage by the river. The location is incredibly peaceful—tucked away in a quiet and scenic area that truly lets you disconnect and relax.
The cottage itself is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully furnished. Making it ideal for both families and small groups. The outdoor space was definitely a highlight—whether we were enjoying meals outside, sitting by the fire, or just watching the river flow, it felt like our own private retreat.
If you're looking for a quiet getaway , this is the perfect spot. We left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to come back again!
- Andrew (7/5): A comfortable, rustic cottage on a river with lots of room for a larger family / extended family. - It was easy to find. The location was great! The cottage is spacious and comfortable for a large family. Lots of windows facing the river. The kitchen was well equipped with all of the necessities and a decent stove & fridge. The furniture was adequate. Good sized dining room table for a large gathering. The neighbours seemed nice enough. Fairly quiet when we were there. The host was very responsive, friendly and followed through with repairs quickly. The host also refunded our first night, since things were not fully ready. That was much appreciated. Initially, the water smelled like rotting swamp, nasty, when we first arrived. After letting the host know. It was addressed and corrected the following day. Apparently, it was a problem with high water and the location of the water intake from the river. It was beyond their control, but was addressed efficiently.
The first night, we were about to BBQ dinner ... only to find the BBQ rusted and falling apart. It was unusable.
Again, the host arranged to have a new BBQ for us to use the following day. Which was good but we had booked the cottage months in advance. This is something that should have been addressed and ready to go for when we arrived!
Same with the floating dock. The bridge connecting the dock to land was broken / detached from the dock and sinking in the water. You had to jump over it, onto the dock. The dock itself was mostly floating, but one corner was sunk into the water. Basically, it was not safe to use. This too is a maintenance issue that should have been addressed before our arrival, especially given the long notice they had before we arrived.
The kitchen was pretty good ... but the stove was in a dimly lit location and the light above it was completely inadequate. 1/2 burned out and covered in grease. Again, a minor maintenance issue.
These maintenance issues were annoying at the time.
Had everything been functioning properly .. the experience would have been much more enjoyable.
- Rajguru (3/5): Worst ever cottage experience - The property is beautiful location is good but very less amenities and not that maintained. We weren’t informed about the horrible smell in tap water. The smell was so so bad that we can’t even brush our teeth. We had to go buy bottle water, use bottle water for our basic things. Not a single board games or any games, mentions kids friendly but nothing to keep them engage. Coffee filters weren’t there, many basic things in kitchen no there. We are really disappointed. Also the deck is slippery and not maintained
- Paul (8/5): Very good -
- Murray (9/5): Superb - Location and accessibility and cleanliness.
- Diane (10/5): Very beautiful private spot - The views The door to get in
- Alessia (9/5): Superb -
- Helia (3/5): awful toilet flush, not clean, getting enough for what you pay, good heating - the heating system was very effective and it kept the cottage warm during cold days. There were also two additional electrical heaters which were very helpful to use in colder rooms during the night. Kitchen appliances was very good and sufficient. There was no water when we arrived and then the host sent a plumber to fix it in about an hour which was ok. The MOST uncomfortable and awful was the toilet flush. It didn't flush properly and we needed to plunge every time, but still it didn't work correctly.
The overall house was very dirty, it seemed that it hasn't been properly cleaned for few months if not years.
The mattresses were not comfortable at all, there was no blanket/duvet which was mentioned in dthe escription to bring but we missed it.
- Ryan (10/5): Fantastic location. - This is a fantastic cottage location to get away for a few days. My family discovered this place about a month or so ago and we’ve been back twice. We’re looking forward to booking our next getaway. We fell in love with the location.
- Ryan (9/5): Fantastic location. - This location was amazing for our experience. We can’t wait to go back
- Qin (10/5): Wonderful! - Tranquil, water side and cozy cottage, with the most kitchen utensils. Weather help us this thanksgiving, with beautiful clouds and sunshine, so good time enjoying fall colours, lakes and trails. Highly recommend. We are very satisfied. Everything is fine. The host is very nice and easy going. The location is so convenient. A river is just in front the cottage.
- Tom (8/5): Very good -
- Adella (8/5): We loved the property and had a great time! - This was a beautiful property on a river with a dock, fire pit, big back deck. Three bedrooms and a bunkie. Lots of room. Full kitchen, wi-fi. Everything you need for a great time! We booked last minute and didn’t realize linen was not supplied. We had not pillow cases, sheets or covers, towels or kitchen linens but we survived :)
- Edvin (10/5): Exceptional - Very quiet
- Brian (9/5): Superb - Convenient location
Lots of space for 6 people. No password for the internet connection was available.
- Boris (10/5): Review - Beautiful spot with the perfectly sized cottage!
Beds are super comfortable!!
Floors are nice new looking laminate (I think)
Appliances all work well
Super quiet and peaceful area and a fantastic place to find focus All was good - but feedback could be maybe newer appliances and some minor paint touch-ups could add to it; but existing all work without issue and are perfectly good 👍
- Honey (8/5): Very good - Loved the property and location, very clean. Kitchen was well equipped with cutlery and cooking items. It was lite cold in the night room heaters were not working.
- German (10/5): Amazing riverfront location - The location was amazing. The cottage has a dock where you can sit and go in the pristine clear water river, and a big lawn where you could play volleyball, badminton, frisbee or just run around with the kids.
- Heather (8/5): A Beautiful Getaway on Gull River! - Location beautiful right on the river, 10 minutes from Gull Lake. Yard huge, cottage nicely laid out. Beds super comfortable! Shower very small
Not all windows opened
Very hot with no AC
Laminate in kitchen needs some repair
- Rozenfeld (7/5): Peaceful escape into nature's heaven:) - It looked like the pictures, and the location was perfect. It's extraordinarily calm, to the point where I could hear the birds swimming in the water! Also, the sunsets reflection in the water is phenomenal. There are some issues with the house, but they should be resolved.
- Eric (10/5): Exceptional - Very cozy clean and everything you need
- Eric (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lindsey (8/5): Lovely, quaint, peaceful, simple. - Such a beautiful area this time of year (autumn) and a nice cozy cottage to spend it in. We spent our Friendsgiving weekend here and the long harvest table was wonderful for it. The hosts were quick to respond to any inquiries.
- Carlos (8/5): Very good -
- Stacey (8/5): Easy access great facility and beautiful grounds - Great property Weather
