What a cute little getaway. The hosts were amazing and easy to contact if we needed anything. Lots of room for our husky to run and play. I would love to bring our grandson up with us next time.
Inside the cabin is beautiful and also very spacious. Even when it was raining we all had a great time playing a few games of pool. The best was relaxing with the family around the fire pit.
The location is also very close to all amenities.

I went up with my boyfriend and our dog and it was an absolutely fantastic time! The motorhome was awesome. Very roomy, the ac was a lovely touch for the hotter days, bed was very comfortable and the tv with a huge stack of movies was a nice touch. Beautiful place with great views of the sunset, good for fishing, and relaxing. The host was very kind, friendly and accommodating. Totally went above and beyond giving us fresh veggies from their garden and recommending things to do. We loved this place, would definitely recommend and plan on going back up!

We loved Kaniyan's property. It was quiet and private and our dogs roamed around freely. The cottage was comfortable and had everything you could possibly need, and the pool table was a big hit. We'd definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay in this unique, pentagon-shaped cottage. The kids loved it! We had three kids and 3 dogs with us and all had lots of room to play, eat and sleep comfortably.
The driveway is pretty steep leading up to the cottage and there are a number of steps leading from the driveway to the door so be prepared to get your steps in!
We stayed during a heat wave and the air conditioner kept the entire main floor and lower level very cool and comfortable.
There were a number of tv's though we didn't use them as we wanted an unplugged week away.
The office downstairs was the perfect spot for my husband to sit and work virtually when he had to on his computer he brought.
The cottage is very close to the LCBO, grocery store, trails and beach which was very convenient.
My brothers, my husband, sister-in law and myself enjoyed playing pools together downstairs after the kids went to bed.
We brought a kiddie pool which was easy to set-up under the top deck and fill with a hose nearby and the firepit area was used almost every night.
Kaniyan was very prompt and helpful in responding to my emails and WhatsAPP messages when we had questions.
I'm sure we will be staying there again!
Highly recommend.
