Review of S. S.'s stay in Aug 2023
Guest Comments: This is the second year we have booked through Cottage Care Rentals and we were even more pleased this year. The cottage was amazing. We had a slight issue with the septic tank alarm going off but the staff at Cottage Care Rentals were very quick to respond and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable and fixed the issue quickly. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future.
CCR Reply: Thank you so much for providing your feedback! We appreciate your prompt communication with regards to the septic alarm, it helps us respond as quick as possible so you can get back to your well-deserved vacation! All the best - Team CCR

Review of M. K.'s stay in Aug 2021
Guest Comments: Hi Team, Overall our cottage stay was fantastic. Your team was responsive and great to work with. The only small issue was the cleanliness of the floors when we first arrived. With the cottage not having a upright vacuum cleaner, we did find the floors to sill have a lot of crumbs that we needed to sweep up. It also made it difficult to clean the floors after we left. Nothing major, just something to note. We are already talking about booking again next year. Thank you
CCR Reply: Thank you for taking the time to detail your experience at Evergreen Terrace. We have noted the suggestion for an upright vacuum - thank you!

Review of V. B.'s stay in Aug 2020
Guest Comments: Huge thank you’s to Cheryl, Stephanie and Daniel for making our rental experience absolutely flawless! The cottage was fantastic - the owners have done such a great job outfitting it and everything was immaculate. The games room was a bonus and was very appreciated by kids and adults alike. We had a lovely, restful time up north and look forward to renting again.
CCR Reply: It was our pleasure having you stay at Evergreen, looking forward to next season. Team CCR
Review of C. K.'s stay in Jul 2020
Guest Comments: We had the most fantastic two-week stay at the cottage! The pictures on the site simply do not do it justice. The view from the balcony over Kennisis Lake is stunning, and the cottage itself is so pretty with comfy beds, beautiful kitchen appliances and very pleasantly clean bathrooms. The games room in the basement was terrific fun for evenings and the couple of rainy days we had. Our only tiny complaint was that the internet service was a bit dodgy—it had a tendency to cut out quite frequently, and I had to top up our data package to compensate for it. Also, the folks at Cottage Care provide EXCELLENT customer service. They are super responsive and very communicative. We were sad to leave after just two weeks. We would definitely consider renting this place again next summer!
CCR Reply: It was a pleasure having your family stay with us at Evergreen. We did have Bell out to look at the internet issue and it's been resolved. Thanks so much. Team CCR
