Our second stay at The Winsley was even better than our first visit last summer… and that was hard to surpass!This exquisite property is a perfect place to gather together, relax, and recharge! Our family of 12 enjoyed every aspect of this beautifully maintained home. This spacious house, with more than enough room for everyone, has a dream kitchen: 2 ovens, 2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, 3 sinks and stocked with everything needed to prepare meals for a large group. The lakefront provides ample opportunity for boating, swimming, fishing, and playing in the sand. The new spa pool enhanced our visit and added to the overall peaceful nature of this get away. There are plenty of games, bikes, and tvs (World Cup 2026!) to make everyone happy. The back porch, a family favorite, has stunning views of the lake. Although we primarily stayed at the house, the area is centrally located and easily accessible to parks, shopping, trails, and a variety of summer activities. One of the best aspects of this rental is the ease with which we were able to communicate with Norm, the owner. He answered all our questions promptly, supplied us with helpful information, and quickly sent over someone when we discovered a hornet’s nest on the porch. This is the perfect summer retreat; we were truly able to sit back and relax!Thank you Norm and Julie!

This is the second time that we have stayed at this property with our extended family. It is exactly as advertised and easily accomodates larger families. We love that everyrhing we need to relax and enjoy ourselves is included with the property (bikes, kayaks, SUPs, games...) so all we have to donis show up. The location is quiet and scenic amd makes for a perfect get away. Norm is very easy to work with.

This cottage is perfect for the extended family that wants to get together for a vacation but is still large enough that everyone can "have their own space". Appropriate for all age groups. Something for everyone to do! Our grandchildren had a ball at the waters edge and running and playing on the property in a very safe environment. Movie room was a big hit with them as well. Everything was clean, in good working order and host was very available for any questions we had. Overall had a terrific family holiday!! Hope to repeat again for sure.
