Guest Testimonials

We had a wonderful relaxing vacation. The house was just perfect for us. We all loved going to the beach and exploring the area. The kides were fascinated by the wildlife. We will recommend the house to our family and friends.

The Rentons

Belleville, ON, 2009

We shared the cottage, a beautiful setting for a week with my sister and her children. Four cousins played, enjoyed and connected. We love the setting, the beautiful rocks and view of the ocean. The day trips to Luneneburg, Peggy's Cove and the beaches calmed and re-energized. We truly enjoyed our time here. The blueberry patch was awsome! We hope to be back soon.

The Wenzl Family

Toronto, ON, 2008

This cottage is one of the most luxurious and beautiful places we've stayed at and we've stay at a few! Great design only bettered by the view.
