    Great property, location and amenities. Very please with our stay. The view in the morning is spectacular and the lake is everything it’s made out to be. Great spot for a family to relax and play.

    The cottage was unique and full of family history, perfect location and fabulous autumn weather! The place can use a good cleaning, lots of cob webs, spiders, mice traps And dust, dust, dust!

    Manager's Response:

    Hi Bernadett, we're so glad to hear you enjoyed the unique charm and family history of the cottage, as well as the beautiful autumn weather! We also appreciate you bringing the cleanliness issues to our attention. After sharing your feedback with the homeowner, they wanted to respond with the following:

    The cottage was professionally cleaned before your stay, but with some time between guest visits, a refresher would have helped address dust and cobwebs that can accumulate in a rural setting.
    We’re committed to improving our process during slower seasons to ensure the property feels fresh and inviting for each guest, no matter the timing.

    Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We’ll use it to provide a more seamless experience for future guests, and we hope you’ll keep us in mind for your next getaway!

    5/5

    We had the best time at the Shingle Shack! The house was spacious and comfortable. It is has a very homey feel to it. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. There is a great little

    market within a few minutes drive that we v bought all of our groceries at. The kayaks were fun to take out into the lake. The beach fire pit is going to be hard to top for all future vacation rentals. We did not use the bunkhouse during our stay. The lake is absolutely beautiful.Perfect for swimming, boating, etc. Highly recommend!
