Great cottage. Really enjoyed ourselves.
We had a group of 12 (8 adults, 4 kids) stay here and we had a great weekend. There were more than enough bedrooms and bathrooms for us to be comfortable, and the open concept main area was spacious. The property is very large with a gorgeous walkout and deck towards the lake. We loved the fire pit close to the lake! We enjoyed our stay and looking forward to hopefully renting this cottage again.

Kirkfield cottage by the river
We had a great stay in the cottage. Richard was very helpful to walk us through the details and was responsive throughout. We really liked the place, it was cozy, clean - the outside propane fireplace was really good place to hangout. We were able to do some light fireworks beside the water area on new year's eve. Would very much like to explore this place again in summer time to use the kayaks, boats and bicycles provided with the cottage.

Great Trip
We had a great time at this property. The outdoor space is exceptional - plenty of space for large groups and the swing set and flat lawn was perfect for young kids. We enjoyed fishing, canoeing, biking and hanging by the 2 docks and gazebo. Unfortunately the paddle boat was broken but Richard was prompt to assess the issue and order replacement parts. Indoors, we found the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms clean. The beds, pillows and linens were comfortable. One of the sofa beds do not pull out but this wasn't an issue for us as the couches were comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to returning next year.

Kirkfield Caper
Getting information about the facility, directions and checking through Vbro was frustrating and unduly complicated by their security issues. When finally able to communicate with the host, things improved and he was very helpful. Property itself was as advertised; house was well equipped and very comfortable. Amenities such as the barbecues, lawn furniture, and watercraft were plentiful and readily available. The grounds were extensive, well maintained and in our estimation, the best feature. The view out on the lake was beautiful and the calling of the loons was awesome. The only real disappointment was that the lake had a mucky bottom and was totally congested with weeds, making swimming almost impossible, especially for small children. Otherwise, our holiday was very enjoyable.

The cottage was absolutely beautiful and exactly how it shows in the pictures. The property was well maintained and was extremely clean when we arrived. The host was fantastic and cared to any question or concern that i had prior to our stay and for the whole weekend he were there incase I needed him. Overall 10/10 stay and we look forward to going back in the future!

Cozy Cottage with Stunning Exterior!
We had a fantastic stay at Richard's property. The cottage was well-stocked with essentials and we had a very comfortable stay. The cottage itself is cozy, but the real showstopper is the backyard. There's a covered electric firepit, as well as an unconvered firepit by the water. There are kayaks, canoes and a paddle boat available for use. The dock is a great place to watch the sunset as well. Will definitely return! The karaoke machine was a personal highlight!

Two families with adult kids shared the cottage over Thanksgiving weekend. We enjoyed it immensely. The cottage was close to hiking trails and trail riding by horseback . The kayaks, bicycles and firepit were well used. The host responded to questions quickly. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing time with our extended family here. Fits 10 easily. We had plenty of non motorized water sports to use. Lots of outdoor space, two gazebos, two fire pits outside and a huge long dock to enjoy the view. Owner was very responsive and helpful throughout the booking.

Relaxing cottage retreat
My family and friends just stayed for one week at the property and had a fun time. Lots of outdoor flat space to play sports or just sit on the dock and read. The kayak and canoe were great. Many night time campfires with s’mores were enjoyed. Good bbq. The lake is very shallow with weeds, so, sadly not conducive to swimming but we had lots of fun on the boats and fishing. The owner was very helpful and accessible to answer any questions we had. Our only constructive feedback would be to consider getting a dishwasher machine and a larger dining table as it could only sit 6 comfortably. Overall it was a lovely summer retreat.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage has a lot of great amenities to offer. Our kids really enjoy the playground. I will recommend this place to anyone in a heart beat. And will look forward in booking this place again in the future. The only one small recommendation which is not a big deal is to include carpets in the washroom so the floor doesn’t get wet after a shower.

Family Time
The property is huge and we all loved the large back deck with the gazebo. More than enough chairs to accommodate our family of 8. Didn't use the propane fire pot on the deck as there was no propane. Loved having 2 fridges. We brought lawn darts & bocce ball & played daily. Our 3 adult sons & ladies made daily use of the canoe & kayaks but unfortunately the paddle boat was broken. Saw lots of geese, 3 baby raccoons, a huge turtle & befriended & fed 2 chipmunks who ate peanuts from our hands. The living room area is cramped but still worked for us. The kitchen needs a thorough cleaning; the exhaust fan and cupboards & walls around stove are quite greasy. Also there was some mold in one bathroom. The double sized beds were too firm. Also, washcloths & top sheets for the beds are not provided, and we never found a milk container for our bagged milk. Richard responded quickly to our emails when we had questions. I would recommend his property. It was peaceful to just sit out & chill.
