Fabulous Vacation
I stayed with family (6 adults, 2 children), in early spring. Given the time of year we had cool temperatures and some rain but none of that affected how much we enjoyed our stay. The home is beautifully decorated, clean, and all the rooms and bathrooms were comfortable and well appointed. The open floor plan and big table and couches let everyone be together. A highlight for me is the outdoor space with great views of the lake off the gated deck and a big yard with tons of wildlife and cozy a fire pit by the water with great stargazing, it is beautiful. We wanted to get onto the water and the owner went out of their way to get the pontoon launched early for us. The kids loved the paddle boat and the older kids loved the kayaks. We went to the clubhouse pool, it isn’t very big, but still relaxing and the kids loved the pool. The attention to details was really what stood out most to us. Small details like a popcorn maker and both indoor and outdoor games, having a few laundry pods available because I forgot to bring some, even a big electric griddle to do a large amount of French toast so we could all eat together; once we had groceries we didn’t need to leave because they have thought of everything. Also, right from booking the owner was great communicating and very accommodating. They understand what makes great memories. I would definitely book again.

Get away
The house is a wonderful little getaway for fmaily and friends. It was very spacious with all the families we had and kids. The kids loved all the games and the basement was wonderful for them. It was nice that all the adults had their own space as well. It was little disappointing that we were under the impression that we were able to use the pool, but once we got to the pool we had to pay a fee to get in.. as we thought all Canadian lakes amenities were included per the description Over all it was a wonderful stay we all had a blast, just wished there was little bit more information on the amenities part.

I am glad you enjoyed our home and I will improve on the information provided regarding the small daily fee for the use of the club house and indoor heated pool. Thank you for taking the time to review our home and I do hope that you come and stay with us again.

Holiday get together
Nice location and very spacious and comfortable home. Fireplace was inoperable and basement TV either didn’t work or we couldn’t make it work w/o instructions. Owner responded quickly to inquiries.

My apologies for the the inoperable fireplace during your stay; unfortunately the repair was set up and it could not be completed prior to your stay. I appreciate you pointing out instructions for the TV downstairs and I will put together instructions for it. Your comments help us improve on the service we offer and I am eager to improve by the comments from our guest. Thank you for choosing to stay at our home in Canadian Lakes and we do hope you will visit again.

Home away from home
This home went above and beyond our expectations. We stayed here with our entire family: 8 adults, 4 kids and 1 baby. The house has everything we needed to entertain and make everyone in our group comfortable. The home was very clean and the owners are beyond accommodating and responsive. We will be staying again!

Great time at Canadian Lakes
A great vacation rental! It was as good as was described. Large, comfortable and perfect for a large family gathering. It has a wonderful beachfront with network of lakes for great boating. Close proximity to the area center Is a big plus too. Cheryl was a great host and we definitely consider coming back.

an amazing place to stay! Like home, but better !
The house was spotless when we arrived and it's so open and Airy and welcoming. There were so many special touches and thoughtful items that it felt warm and inviting- like going to a close friend's home. The way the home is set up, There is always a place to find to spend time with family with out disturbing others. From the game room to the huge deck, it was an amazing stay. We also rented the boat which so nice to just go step on a go. All in all, a wonderful place for families with kids of any ages or just a friend and family get away with lots of space for everyone.

Great Stay!
Overall communication was excellent with Cheryl, which was very much appreciated. Check in and check out process was very straight forward and easy. The house and property were perfect for our annual family vacation (9 adults and 3 kids ages 3-10). Very spacious and open both in and outside the home. The yard and little beach were great to have; water was not too deep (about 5 ft off front of dock). The house has everything you need to cook meals, roast marshmallows, do laundry, entertainment/games (host provided starter detergents, coffee, toilet paper, and paper towel) which was helpful. Plenty of chairs/seating both inside and outside. Only negative would just be the dated vertical blinds in a majority of the rooms, as some were missing from the track and were difficult to open/close. The house is close to a grocery store, Ace Hardware, restaurants, ice cream, golf etc. we throughly enjoyed our stay overall :)

Beautiful clean spacious home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! This spacious home was perfect to accommodate our large family for our sons wedding. The location was perfect! The rehearsal dinner at Antlers (right across the street) and the wedding/reception at Tullymore Golf Resort was only a couple of miles away. The added bonus was the option to rent a pontoon boat. I'm so glad we did! The family enjoyed the beautiful Canadian Lakes and my great nieces loved having access to the beach right outside the house. We definitely recommend this house for your next vacation!

Beautiful spacious home with great lake access
This home fit my family so well. It is spacious with plenty of beds and bathrooms for the entire family. The dogs enjoyed the large yard to run and play in the lake. The porch has a beautiful view of the lake with plenty of seating. The lake was clean, calm and attached to an all sports lake where you can cruise on the pontoon. It is a members only lake, which means the boat has to be registered to the home owner if it's on the lake. Cheryl offered her pontoon to rent which was a big hit with my family! Cheryl was an amazing host! She had great communication and was the best host that I've worked with! My family definitely is excited to come back! Thanks Cheryl for the great stay!

Room for everyone
This cottage is spacious inside and out. We came with our large multi generation family and had plenty of bedrooms and room for eating and playing. Three bedrooms with queen beds + loft with another queen and a master with a king. Our 6 granddaughters slept well in the basement bunk room and had their own bathroom. Our three teenage boys slept in the loft. Cheryl generously offered extra twin mattresses. The yard is huge giving plenty of room for whiffle ball games and trackball. The beach and water provided hours of fun each day. Kids loved the paddle boats and did lots of exploring and fishing on the lake. We love to cook and the kitchen was well equipped for a large group . Overall this was a great stay…we will be back!

A great location for our winter getaway.
The space worked well for our group. We had a couple small issues in the beginning that needed attention and Cheryl was quick to respond. The rest of our stay was nice and there was plenty of room for everyone. A well stocked home. The weather did not cooperate with any snow for this winter getaway but, thankfully the ice was perfect for skating. Thank you for opening your home to us as guests. It’s so nice to have space for our large group to be together. We hope to return!
