Review of K. D.'s stay in Jul 2023
Guest Comments: Wonderful weekend! I was amazed at how clean it was when I walked in, it was very comfy and I had great use of the screened in porch at night and for eating. The view of the lake was stunning and the water was great for swimming. My only issue was there was limited space for storing personal items, such as clothing, toiletries and food. Definitely would recommend and want to book there again!
Review of J. H.'s stay in Aug 2022
Guest Comments: The cottage was lovely. Clean, cute and totally perfect for a two-week holiday in the highlands (my favourite place in Ontario). We loved the wilderness, the water and of course the view from every part of the property. Our only drawback for this property is the absence of a dock on the water. We would have loved to rent a jet ski or a boat and were unable. Even a small dock for jumping off of would have really amped up the summer cottage experience.
CCR Reply: Thanks for the recommendation of a dock!
Review of J. H.'s stay in Sep 2021
Guest Comments: This cottage was lovely and cozy and perfect for a week with two people (but had room for 3-4 more!). Everything was as advertised and expected. The lake was clean and inviting, the property is maintained beautifully by the owners. We will definitely look at booking it again next summer—perhaps for two weeks this time because it was just so hard to return home after only one week. We loved that our dog was welcome at this property (so many don't accept dogs!) and she highly recommends this cottage for other dogs (especially if they love to run and swim).
Review of K. F.'s stay in Jul 2021
Guest Comments: We had a great time. The cottage was clean when we arrived and very comfortable. We used the canoe and inner tube as well as our. Windsurfers and a kayak (rental). The water and shoreline was lovely. comfy beds, lots of entertainment for rainy days. thankfully there were few of those. We hope to return again next year! The only negative were campers across the lake who would arrive in groups for a night or two and often blast thier music but not a huge deal…. Perhaps a discussion for the cottage residents association nearby.
CCR Reply: Thank you kindly for taking the time to tell us of your experience at Driftwood Hill. We are thrilled it was an enjoyable one. From our understanding, the land across the lake is Crown Land and has unfortunately been mistreated this year but thank you for your feedback.
Review of R. C.'s stay in Oct 2020
Guest Comments: Sealable, plastic containers in the kitchen would be helpful.
Review of A. I.'s stay in Jun 2020
Guest Comments: Great cottage, lake with swimming, fishing, kayaking or just relaxing the scenery and nature. Definitely a great place to escape the city and enjoy cottage country at its best.
