“The lake was great! House is beautiful but needed an update (specifically furniture). But overall it was great!”
“We had an amazing stay at this Blue Heron cottage! The location is quiet, beautiful, and private. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the place was equipped with lots of amazing amenities and had steps down to a private dock right onto the beautiful clear water. The host was wonderful, very supportive, and always ready to help us with anything we needed. We felt so welcome and cannot wait to come back!”
“Endroit bucolique, directement sur le lac Rond, accessible en petites embarcation, par contre prévoir aller plus loin si vous possédez un bateau plus massif, à moteur, la pente est assez escarpée, mais nous avons eu accès facilement avec nos kayaks. Rowan et Don sont très proactif et répondent rapidement, cordiale. Emplacement, chambre et tout les espaces de vie très chaleureux et convivial pour un grand groupe.”
“it was a very pleasant stay,”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Perfect Lakeside Getaway
We recently stayed at this beautiful cottage on Round Lake in Ontario and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The cottage had absolutely everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
The outdoor amenities were fantastic. We loved spending our evenings around the fire pit, and the unlimited supply of firewood was a wonderful touch. The hot tub was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring, and having access to a kayak allowed us to make the most of the stunning lakeside location. The BBQ was great for outdoor cooking, and there was even a games room that kept everyone entertained regardless of the weather.
Inside, the cottage was warm, cozy, and full of character. The traditional décor perfectly complemented the beautiful forest surroundings and the tranquil setting of Round Lake. It felt authentic and welcoming, offering the ideal balance between comfort and rustic charm.
