    Peaceful lakeside cottage in a beautiful farm setting.

    Beautiful scenery in a peaceful setting. The views are amazing and the cottage was well appointed and situated right on the dam.

    A perfect getaway in an idyllic setting.

    The photos don't do this little peace of heaven justice. The cabin was beautifully decorated with luxury bedding and a great shower. It was warm and cosy, the heater and electric blankets were a bonus.The veranda is perfect for bird watching and soaking up the atmosphere. It is so peaceful, we used the canoe which was fun and did the lovely walk around the dam. A perfect getaway.
