Very relaxing after long road trip

We should have stayed a bit longer, Tom's cottage is perfect to calm down and relax after a long and intensive sightseeing road trip through USA and Canada. No motor boats on the lake, the next busy road quite far away - best place to relax. We liked also on evenings to make BBQ with the gas grill and the camp fire in the fire pit . I hope there is a next time to get there.

Great stay

Me and two friends went for some fishing and relaxation. Great little spot. Shallow water off the dock so we caught lots of jumbo perch. Cleanliness was excellent and we forgot our bluetooth speakers at home so it was a nice surprise that one was provided. Nice to have a row boat with the rental as well. Host was very responsive and friendly.

Super location

Stay was wonderful! View of the lake from cottage was amazing. Cottage right on the water. Close to our favourite restaurant the Wilno Tavern. Close to charming little parks and beaches and hiking trails. Only stayed for 2 nights and wished we booked longer. Went in October. Only minor thing was the sofa was very uncomfortable to sit on and watch tv. Tom followed up with us which I thought was great. Thanks Tom.

Family Vacation

Our time at this rustic cabin was wonderful. The host's communication was perfect and the description was almost spot on. This cottage provided us the opportunity to relax, read, swim and spend time with each other. The weather was amazing so we were outside almost all day every day. The beach is great, we did a couple of paddles on the kayaks and the boys did some fishing (little perch). The cottage is very private and the lake is serene and quiet enough to hear the loon. The boys loved the zip line and the view was amazing. Thank you to our host for sharing your little gem.

Lovely weeklong getaway. Lots of opportunity to boat, fish, beach, enjoy a nighttime campfire, and be one with nature. Pet friendly, which was necessary and fantastic!

Tom's Rustic Cottage was a great escape from the city. The cottage had everything we needed, bedding, kitchen supplies, and a fire pit for smores. The lake was clean, peaceful, and didn't have any seaweed tickling my toes. Best of all, we were able to bring our dogs and spend a week with them enjoying the outdoors. Great Stay.
