Annual Cottage with the Family

This is our second time staying at this location and once again was an exceptional stay. The host has even installed a generac for power back up since the last time, which came in extremely useful as we had a storm that knocked out power halfway through our stay, but having this allowed us to continue our stay. Otherwise, we would have had to leave as power was out for the rest of the duration. The host is very good at responding to any questions you may have and the location is great. We will definitely look at going again.

Springtime Family Weekend

Quiet and quite private location. Home was very spacious with excellent layout for sleeping and bathrooms. Shared living space was not as nicely laid out. Could use some refinement to take it to the next level of comfort.

Our stay at Bob's Lake from Aug 1 to 8 was fantastic from beginning to end. The property was exceptional with beautiful green space, a small beach and of course a wonderful lake. Our family enjoyed swimming, kayaking, and canoeing every day. A thrill for our grand-daughters was catch and release fishing right off the dock. There was plenty of space to enjoy being together as well as space for solitude.The interior was quite spacious with the four bedrooms (and a loft) and four bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and the best coffee maker! (a favorite for the adults) . It was lovely to eat inside with a beautiful view of the lake or outside on the well equipped patio. We will enjoy returning to this Bob's Lake Paradise again.

Great Family Vacation

9 adults, one grandson, and two dogs all had a great time. It's so hard to find a nice cottage that can handle all of us, especially the dogs, but this one certainly did. The views of Bob's lake from the dock are amazing and the sandy beach and protected bay is perfect for swimming and paddle boarding.

Bob's Lake Paradise a True Paradise

We were completely impressed with the property and the location of the cottage. We have gone to few other locations and this one by far was the best with the cottage itself and the lake. We would spend every day on the dock and enjoy the lake as access was great since you had a sandy entrance with little amount of weeds. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

My family's weekend stay at this cottage was wonderful. The property has everything you could ask for, and the children loved the outdoor playground, and getting out on the lake. It didn't hurt to wake up in the morning to that gorgeous view, either! Our only regret was that we hadn't booked a longer stay - would definitely return for another visit!

Relaxing getaway

This property is amazing and perfect for large families. I could just imagine a nice xmas dinner or Thanksgiving dinner overlooking the beautiful view of the lake from the large cathedral windows. This cottage was very well equipped, organized and very clean. Forest was a great host and am definitely recommending this cottage.

Memorable stay for big groups

Had a wonderful stay at Bobs lake paradise. The host was warm and very responsive. The cabin is gorgeous, spacious, well outfitted and very clean. The lake is also beautiful and swimable ( though it was too cold in April). We had a small issue with the plumbing which the host responded to very quickly.The reason for the overall 4 star rating is that the cabin doesn't have any hiking trails around it. And the nearest town is 20 mins away. If those things are not important to you, this cabin would be a 5 star experience.

Amazing Time!

Our family (5 adults, 3 kids and a dog) rented the cottage for New Years Eve! It was amazing! Easy to get to, and had everything we possibly could need! Forest had amazing communication with us and readily available if needed. Our hope is to be able to go back in the summer time.Thank you Forest for renting us your beautiful property! Would highly recommend!

Gorgeous Weekend Stay

We had a wonderful time at this property! We rented it for my mother’s 70th birthday and were very impressed. The house was clean and gorgeous and my mother greatly appreciated the air conditioning. Communication with the host was excellent and all questions were answered quickly. The area was gorgeous and all the children (ages 2, 5, 9, and 11) enjoyed swimming in the lake. Thank you for a fabulous stay!

Bob’s Lake

Nice location and lovely views. The cottage was spacious and large enough to accommodate our family of seven. Disappointed in the lack of basic cooking utensils which caused me to have to quickly change cooking plans for Thanksgiving. Cottage could use a deep clean with particular attention paid to black mould around kitchen sink and master shower.

A wonderful Thanksgiving weekend getaway!

We had a great family get-together for the long weekend. Although the weather wasn’t the greatest, we managed to go for a bit of a kayak and take some lovely walks. The pool table and air hockey were wonderful entertainment. We easily prepared our feast in the well- equipped kitchen and just enjoyed being together in such a beautiful setting. The complimentary wine and cookies were a great bonus, as well as the supplied coffee. Many memories were made! Thank you, Forest! Vicki & family
