    We loved The Cottages — had a memorable five days and will return again next summer!

    I had the bedroom downstairs and it was chilly during the night. Could have used an extra blanket. Couldn’t turn the heat on.

    The spacious comfortable cottage with 2 1/2 bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen — complete with a large covered deck facing the water. Bullock lake and the dock and boats were fun for my grown daughters each day. And we had a very short drive into Ganges for great shopping, art galleries and restaurants. Love the markets as well and the cheese place. We had a great five days together and loved our stay!

    For the amount that it cost to stay there, a 5:00 check in and a 10:00 check out did not seem appropriate. Again, for the cost, we shouldn’t have been taking out our own garbage at the end.

    The cabin was built perfectly for two parties - one upstairs and one down. The balcony was well suited for sitting outside.

    Better water equipment as a paddling equipment, or at least information to bring your own paddles. We enjoyed water sports but we couldn't use it as we expected. That was disappointing

    A great place to relax, and also from which to venture around the island!

    Coming from the US and without access to our cell phone networks, we had no way to get in, as all info was online and nobody was in the office. After knocking on the manager door, the dog alerted her and she came out to tell us how to get in. A non-virtual option would be preferred!

    The cabin has a great layout, and is close to dock/lake, wildlife. The covered porch off the living room was especially outstanding! The kitchen had everything one would want, and good quality for cooking, (with the one exception of a cutting board). We enjoyed cooking/eating, taking walks, reading/resting, quiet time in this space.

    The bath linens. They were rough. Probably the water used in washing them... assuming. Beware some cottages are on a steep incline. This can make parking challenging or walking difficult if you have disabilities.

    It was a lovely cabin like accommodation tucked away in the hilly island but not far from town. Amenities were very adequate but we only had a 2 day stay. The place was clean and views were lovely.

    Minor things like no garbage bag for the garbage can. Stains on the couch.

    The cottage we stayed in was clean, well maintained. Bed is comfortable and we had a goodnight sleep for 3 nights. So quiet at night that you can hear animals sounds such as chirping, howl. We cook and had breakfast, lunch outside the balcony and it was so good. It is a perfect weather for us, sunny with mix of clouds and not windy. This is a perfect getaway from the busy and hectic city life. So quiet, peaceful and a relaxing place to re-charge. Did i mention we are few steps from the lake and they have turtles too.

    The wild flowers were lovely, but someone needs the grass to be cut, so I could have done without the noise and the grass cuttings everywhere.

    We were in a 1 bedroom unit. It was well-designed, clean, and quiet. There is a lake with a lovely dock and ladder for entry and exit. The lake water was warm and the swimming excellent. Flotation devices, a canoe, and chairs are available t o use on the dock.

    The lake equipment didn't have enough paddles available. There were canoes/kayaks without paddles. There were only infant size life jackets when it is mandatory at the property for everyone using water craft to wear one

    Checkin is at 5PM and check out is at 10 AM. It be nice if the could adjust an an hour on each side.

    The property definitely exceeded my expectations. The cottage is very large, well kept and a good value for the price.
