We can't say enough about this property, and it was a wonderful stay. We loved meeting our hosts Don and Perky. They were warm and friendly and very respectful of our privacy on the shared property. The apartment was super clean, comfortable and attractive. The use of the laundry was a bonus. The yard was a great place to sit and read or play with our dog. Instructions about the rental and recommendations for local restaurants, beaches, etc. provided were great. Check-in/check-out was easy.This was hands down the best stay we had on our short get away vacation celebrating our anniversary. We'd love to visit again and will definitely tell our friends about this beautiful find!! Thank you!!! Sam and Toni

This was our second time staying at Don and Perky’s cottage, and it certainly won’t be our last! We had another absolutely wonderful stay.The cottage is immaculately kept and well-equipped with everything you could need. Outside, the lake is beautiful, we especially enjoyed the stunning sunsets. Perky’s gardens are also very beautiful and add a lot to this charming property.A massive bonus for us, the property is pet-friendly. Finding high-quality, pristine rentals that welcome pets can be incredibly difficult, so we deeply appreciated being able to bring our furry family members along.Don and Perky are friendly and extremely gracious, thoughtful hosts. We cannot recommend this beautiful lakeside getaway highly enough!

Clean, comfortable and great location!

Don & Perky were wonderful hosts and we really enjoyed our stay. It was a great location for our day trips to Burlington & Quebec. The guesthouse was clean and comfortable and we were lucky to spend the day there and observe the eclipse over the lake, avoiding the crowds.

Our stay was lovely in every way. The property was very clean, and well kept and the owners were conscientious about all precautions for covid related travel regulations. The lake was beautiful—perfect for a relaxing stay and quiet weekend.
