Very nice cottage

Great location on a quiet lake but close to Lake of Bays so we could rent a speed boat. Loved that we could bring our dogs. Comfortable beds.

Family Getaway

We enjoyed a lovely getaway on Wren Lake. The cottage was very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. We spent a lot of time outside between lounging on the dock, roasting marshmallows and making great use of the kayaks, canoe and SUPs to explore the lake. The kids (and puppy) also loved playing on the lily pad! Communication with Michelle was quick and easy. 5 stars all around!
