Quite simply one of the loveliest places we've stayed. We enjoyed
champagne under a full moon, morning searches for the resident porcupine
and forays into the countryside from village to town. The enormous wooden deck provided a springboard for diving competitions and a fantastic barbecue venue. The scenery really is spectacular and we fell in love with Skeleton Lake. Best of all, however, were our hosts - Paul and Sandra. They extended every kindness to us and have now become friends.

Let me just say once more, on behalf of both of us, how much we LOVED our stay at the boathouse. It exceeded all our expectations—we couldn't have asked for anything more. Fab and I both agree—it was the nicest cottage we've ever been to and it was the best cottage experience we've ever had. Part of what made our stay so enjoyable was meeting the two of you.  You were so warm and welcoming - it made us feel so comfortable on our vacation.  Thank you. If you'll have us, we'd love to come back next year.

Thank you once again for a wonderful weekend.  We've always enjoyed our experiences at Skeleton Lake and this most recent one was no exception.  We truly enjoyed our stay at the Boathouse and your hospitality was a pleasant surprise. Sophia still talks about her driving experience, and both Kerri and I enjoyed the "tour of the Lake".   It was a pleasure to have met both of you and we sincerely hope our paths will cross again.  It would be nice to have you over for a glass of Niagara wine this fall.  Hope to stay in touch.

We had a very nice time at the boathouse—one our best holidays ever. I am trying to get back to Canada and we would like to rent the boathouse again at the end of August, we enjoyed it so much the first time.

What a beautiful Boathouse. Thank you very much for allowing us to enjoy it this past week. Thanks too for your many acts of kindness, helping us unload the vehicle was no easy task. Also Paul, we really appreciate you taking Dave to the marina in the pouring rain. This will be a very memorable summer vacation.
P.S. The wine was delicious.

Thank you so much for the use of your Boathouse. We were thrilled to see the beauty of Skeleton Lake and bask in the colours of fall. We enjoyed the quiet, but the highlight was when we were joined by our children. Thanks again.
