Lovely stay

Perfect location close to Havelock. Water is warm and close - great for kids swimming. Lots of wildlife and a mama and baby loon who visited us a lot. The host is wonderful and the cottage is comfortable and cosy.

Summer visit

Jen’s place was perfect! Great amount of space for 3 friends. Very clean with a well stocked kitchen. The Dock was lovely and private and the fire pit has a beautiful view of the lake. Would highly recommend!

Water dream

We loved our 4 night stay at Jens simple yet perfect cottage. The proximity to the water was the highlight - feeling like we were in a houseboat on the lake. It was charming and just perfect. Had to be mindful of the weeds but once you got the hang of it, it wasn't a huge deal. The Loons and wildlife were amazing and the sunsets spectacular.

Great, responsive host!

We had an excellent time during our stay, with beautiful views on the lake and the coziest fireplace. Lots of warm lights throughout the cottage, games, and a well-equipped kitchen made the weekend easy to enjoy. But we were most impressed by the consideration and graciousness of our host. Jen was responsive, thoughtful, and thorough. We greatly appreciated it!

Fantastic, flexibile, and friendly!

We had to postpone our trip due to a COVID case, and the owner was extremely helpful and flexible with helping us get rebooked. We also had some questions throughout the stay and communication was always prompt and friendly. The itself property was very clean, cozy, and well heated (we went in November). A wonderful location, tucked away on a quiet lake but only about 10 minutes away from all the essentials (key because the water cannot be consumed). Would strongly recommend for any time of the year!

If you are looking for a cottage to recharge your batteries, this is the one! Coffees on the dock in the morning, drinks on the deck in the evening as the sun sets and the loons dive for their dinner, this is the quintessential Canadian cottage. Spotless with all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay, this cottage has it all. The hosts were readily available to answer any questions, the neighbors were warm and welcoming making this a memory we will treasure. We will definitely return.

If you love the sun and killer sunsets then this is the place for you. West facing and unobstructed tanning all day. The cottage has everything you need, but be sure to bring blankets along with your linens. The water is warm and shallow for a ways which makes swimming easy but can be a bit reedy at times, not a big deal for us. Jen was very responsive for all concerns. You are close to other cottages, but everyone was very nice and respectful and we had no issues. Great value for how close the cottage is to the water.

The cottage was exactly as described in the description in Vrbo. We loved being right on the bay, the swimming was awesome, beautiful sunsets with excellent bedrooms as two of them are on corners, with windows on each side. Feeling the breeze at night and hearing the loons in the distance, what more can you ask for. The inside of the cottage is very nice as we loved all the wood throughout. Having cable television would have made this cottage a 10 out of 10 for sure. Thank you to Jennifer who responded quickly to a few small issues. We also enjoyed talking with our neighbor next door. He made us feel welcome and offered his assistance if we needed anything. All in all, a super one week in Havelock! Thank you!

Very nicely decorated spacious luxurious accommodations. Very well furnished. In late August the lake was quite weedy fairly far out. There was also a rat in the main floor bathroom, though it kept mostly to itself.

Beautiful getaway property!

This cottage was so cozy and comfortable. It's nice to have the extra bathroom and the beds were very comfortable. The fireplace pilot had gone out but a quick call to the owners who talked us through relighting it and we were enjoying the fire. Great place to get away from the city lights!

Great escape

I had a wonderful experience here. The place is nicer than it looked in the ad, was in a very quiet location, but still only 15 min to town, and had everything you need to just unplug and relax. I will definitely come back here.
