Real reviews from guests who’ve stayed at the Lazy Beaver.
Booked the cottage for Canada Day long weekend 2024. Had a wonderful stay! Cottage is super clean. Anna and Mike were wonderful hosts, super responsive and happy to answer any questions you have. The cottage website is great too, as it talks about things to do and places to eat in the area.
Thank you, Marja. It was a pleasure to have you in our cottage, glad you enjoyed your stay!
Our family spent a wonderful weekend in the cottage. The cottage is nice and cozy. Children spent half a day in the river nearby. Neighbours are nice and the owner is responsive to every question we have.
Thank you, Joyce, for the kind review. The river is a lot of fun for everyone, and kids especially love it!
The owners were very responsive to any questions we had about booking and accommodated us for a weekend rental. The cottage is very clean, especially the kitchen and bathroom. The beds were very comfortable and the AC on the upper floor made sure sleeping was comfortable. It’s a pleasant walk down the lane to the river where people were swimming. We brought our dogs and it was nice to have a safe place to walk them. The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are steep but there’s a handle on the wall, so no issue for us. There’s a large bedroom downstairs for someone who can’t do stairs, and the bathroom is downstairs as well, so very accessible. Had a pleasant stay.
We are glad that you had a pleasant stay with your family in our cottage, and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
Cottage and the grounds were very nice and clean, large bedrooms and comfy beds. Lots included, did not need to bring much. Short walk to the river, and it was not crowded. The owner was very responsive. Overall we had a great time with my family and will be back again.
It was a pleasure to host your family at our cottage. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay, and thank you for the review!
I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at this charming cottage, and it was an experience that surpassed all my expectations. The cottage itself was a delight, impeccably maintained and tastefully decorated, with an atmosphere of warmth and coziness. The owners have clearly put a lot of love and care into making it a true home away from home. The location was exceptional: within a 15-minute drive there’s a lake with a very nice beach, and it’s close to supermarkets too. The kitchen had everything I needed to prepare meals, and the hosts were exceptional in their hospitality, with valuable recommendations for nearby activities.
Hi Yulia, thank you for your kind review, it was a pleasure to have you as a guest. We look forward to hosting you again. We have a variety of places to swim around the cottage, Crowe River is a two-minute walk and there are other lakes a short drive away. You can even make a day trip to Sandbanks Provincial Park.
We had an amazing experience! Cottage was very clean and the owners (who are amazing) provided all of the essentials and more, towels, linens, paper towels, extra blankets, firewood, soaps, sunscreen, etc. The beach area was super close and, although it’s a rocky rather than sandy shoreline, the water was fantastic for swimming. It’s a great little cottage community and everyone is super friendly. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend staying here.
Isabela, thank you for your detailed feedback. We’d be happy to see you again! There is only one cottage on the property and you are not sharing it with anyone else. It sits in a small community and river access is shared with a few other cottages, it’s not public though.
Great place to stay, had everything we needed and more. The cottage was cozy and comfortable. Great neighbours and great fishing! The owners were wonderful to deal with. Can’t wait for our next stay!
Thank you for your note, Ryan. We are happy that you found everything you needed in the cottage and yes, lots of great fishing spots in the area!
We had a great experience staying at the cottage, it was very neat and tidy with all the required facilities. The lakeside is walking distance, where the kids had great fun. Thank you Mike n Ann!
Hi Pooja, we are glad to hear that your family enjoyed your stay at Lazy Beaver, and thank you for the lovely drawing your daughter left for us.
We had an amazing stay at Lazy Beaver! The hosts Mike and Anna were wonderful to communicate with. They were always available for any questions and gave awesome recommendations for local activities. We look forward to going back!
Thank you for your feedback, we’re glad your family had a good time at our cottage. Looking forward to hosting you again! Mike and Anna

Thank you, Sophie, for your review and recommendation! Cheers!
We had a lovely time at the Lazy Beaver! The cottage is cozy, the beds comfortable and the surrounding area beautiful (especially in the fall!). Thank you for having us!
Julia, thank you for your review. Yes, the fall colours are beautiful! We know how important it is for our guests to have a good night’s rest after a full day of exploring the area. Cheers, hope to see you again!
The cottage was tidy and well equipped with everything we needed. Beds are comfortable. The river is a short walk. In a quiet neighbourhood. We would stay again!
Thank you for your review, Tracy. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Come back and see us again. Cheers!
I really enjoyed my stay here! The kitchen was equipped with everything needed and the patio is the perfect spot for lunch under the umbrella. And the nearby Crowe River is wonderful, really convenient since it’s so close by.
Thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Lazy Beaver Cottage.
