Family Weekend Snowmobile Trip

The cottage is bright, fairly clean, and the kitchen has a good amount of dishes, pots and pans. The beds are comfortable as well. It would have been nice to have a working dryer for our mitts and hats. We noticed it had been down since October. Also, an area to hang winter clothes and matts to put winter boots on. We didn't want to put our wet gear directly on the floor. Knowing we were coming and we paid a lot of money to stay plus an additional charge for our fur baby which was more than indicated in the information booklet, the roadway and driveway should have been plowed prior to our arrival so we could have accessed the property without getting stuck. You notified us the day of our arrival indicating we needed a 4-wheel drive vehicle to get into the laneway, something you should have pointed out prior to booking. We drove a large powerful truck pulling a 4 place snowmobile trailer. We got stuck and wasted over 3 hours trying to get unstuck. As the owner of an expensive rental property, you should have ensured the access road and driveway was cleared properly.

Bear Lake Cottage

Good overall stay. Should have been informed ahead of stay that clothes dryer didn’t work, vents in bathrooms didn’t work, and gas fireplace didn’t work. But nice stay & family really enjoyed the paddle boat & kayaks. Beautiful cottage with lots of windows. It was very spacious & comfortable. When out shopping & returning to cottage actually sighted a baby bear crossing the roaf.

Bear Lake getaway

We had two lovely weeks in this attractive cottage on Bear Lake. The grandkids fished and were delighted by the frogs, toads and hummingbirds they saw. The small beach is perfect for small children.

Just like the pictures

Cottage is beautiful. We had 5 adults and 3 children and there was lots of space. The water is sandy and shallow though much of the lake is full of water lilies so it’s not a lake for swimmers. The kayaks were put to good use. Most importantly, the beds were comfortable. Nothing worse then vacationing on uncomfortable beds. Nick was responsive and provided answers to all questions. The corner store in the nearby small town is one of the best stocked stores I’ve ever seen for a rural location. Amazing vacation!
