Don and family were excellent hosts. Welcoming, clean, and with every amenity and convenience you could ask for when staying away from home. Highly recommend booking with the Dolphins.
It was a a great location , quiet , beautiful. Appreciated the water equipment ie trampoline, boats. Cottage was well equipped and hosts were welcoming.
The property was as advertised. Great dock and water. Very nice cottage. Great bbq (a bellwether for a good cottage). Owner followed up with me, rather than the other way around. Easy check in and check out. Not a bad thing to say.
Location was absolutely beautiful. The layout was perfect for our family. It just so happened it rained almost the whole time we were there but between the local bakeries, Bar and Grill (excellent food), local hiking areas, we were able to keep busy. I would maybe suggest some books, games, etc for the rainy days.Don was fantastic at communication. The rental was very well equipped. Maybe a booster chair for young children. Overall we lived our time there. Thank you and we hope to return with sunshine.
Everything was as described or better, we enjoyed the water toys, swimming, fishing and cottage throughly. Great views of the lake while also being on a quiet cove. Wish we never had to leave!
Beautiful location, stunning waterfront and quiet serene lake! House was pretty but a little small and pokey, only 1 shower. But overall we loved our time here.

The property inside and out is spectacular and breathe taking. A truly wonderful experience for my family and I.
Thank you Dolphin Family
Wonderful week with family (kids aged 10-17). The cottage was beautiful. Kitchen stocked with everything you could possibly need. The dock was a great place to hang out and fish. Lovely deep water off the dock and the water trampoline was a great place to bounce or have a nap depending on your age. We loved the nearby town of Dwight with 2 delicious bakeries. Our vacation week was perfection.
The cottage was a total treat for the our adult family. The setting was beautiful and oh, so quiet while we were there. So relaxing. Kudos to the owners for having such elegant and easy to use components - the living room TV was pre-wired for movie watching - no fussing with complex logins or settings. The HVAC system (we needed both heating and cooling during our week) was a simple one-touch master thermostat and the kitchen was a delight: fully stocked with every imaginable dish and utensil type needed (we stayed in for all our meals). We would highly recommend this cottage!
We rented the cottage from Don and Natalie. They were great hosts, having everything prepared in advance. Natalie thought of all the little details to make your stay enjoyable, which was a nice surprise for me and my family. The cottage was recently renovated and was clean and well laid out. Lots of room for a family of 10. Cottage sits in a nice quite bay. Don was very helpful in answering any questions we had prior or during the stay. I would highly recommend Don and Natalie's Dolphin Cover Cottage!
