"Kimberley’s place
is very spacious and clean! We visited in the winter and it was warm and cozy. We really enjoyed the large dining room area for games and having a nice meal."

"Spacious old style cottage. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen. Quiet area in winter (our experience) and close to Minden. Hosts are easy to reach and available to answer all questions promptly! The large screened in porch in the summer months would be lovely."

"Great place. Secluded so it really feels like your own personal spot. The cottage is built with wood inside so it feels really cozy and smells great! The cottage does not have AC however it does cool down at night so there are no issues with the temperature. The lake entrance has quite a few steps down and a walk back to up to the place but not that concerning. Had a great time!"

"This is my 2nd time staying at Kimberley's cottage and it is still by far one of my favourite spots when I'm in Norland! Kim is very easy to communicate with. The lake is clean, calm and beautiful. The cottage is clean, spacious and cozy!"

"Great place to chill back and relax! The kitchen is fully equipped so you can cook up a storm. Which we did. Host is quick at responding and very kind. It’s was a pleasure. The best part was canoeing early morning!"

"Kimberley's place was a beautiful cottage and in February it was very quiet and secluded. Everything was clean and lovely and we had a wonderful time there. I would definitely book Kimberley's place again!"

"Kimberly's cottage was an absolute dream. Although we had rain throughout the weekend, it was still absolutely stunning. The lake had an awesome sheet of ice over it, so it was extremely beautiful at all times of the day. The cottage had everything you needed! The walk back up to the cottage from the dock is quite tiring (I'm not the most active person lol), so remember to bring everything you need. We also got to watch some old movies on the VHS and it was an overall awesome touch to the entire weekend. I would 10/10 recommend :)"

"This is a beautiful cottage on a quiet lake. We had a very relaxing time and seeing the fall colours was a perfect addition to our thanksgiving. We had a great time on the canoe provided They had all we needed for cooking, even our turkey dinner! The steps down to the lakefront can be challenging for elderly but worth the trip down and can be managed with care. It was easy to get to and not too far from the city. I would highly recommend this place for a family getaway or a gathering with friends."

This place is a little slice of heaven! It was a reasonable drive from Toronto, and fit 8 of us comfortably. The lake is beautiful, clean and warm. The cottage is nicer than in the pictures even! The power went out in the area after a storm, and Kimberley made sure to keep in constant contact to find out for us when it would come back. Thanks again Kim, I will be sure to come back
