Reviews/Testimonials

We love our renters and our renters love us!
Hear what they having to say about their experiences renting with Kennisis Cottage Rentals Inc.

My family and I had a great time at Camp David. This was one of the best among the many cottages I have rented in the past. It had every feature we wanted in a cottage.
—R. Mark (Camp David)

We appreciated the comfortable settings in each room. Lots of space to read, play games, or simply enjoy to views. The sunrises at the beach were spectacular. We loved the convience of the fire pit, and waking up to the beatiful view of lake from the deck.
The kids loved the beach and the kayaks. The beds were very comfortable and the spaces in the cottage and cabin were generous.
—Barb Stuhlemmer (Awatere)

The cottage, and even more so the lake, were fantastic. Might even be our favorite rental so far. So quiet and private with great swimming and lots of lake to explore.
It was a great vacation.
—T. Welters (Getaway Bay)

Our stay was absolutely fabulous. The cabin is so well equipped with everything we needed and more. It was clean and cozy and so cute. The view and lake were spectacular. It was a great week.
—T. Moore (Fireside Cabin)

It was great! The cottage is beautiful and the new renovations are stunning. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you’d need for cooking etc. which was great as we’ve rented some that were lacking. Both docks were lovely to sit on and watch the water and sky.
We were lucky enough to have 4 generations there (my parents, myself, my daughter and grandson). My parents took the main floor bedroom so they didn’t have to do the stairs and the rest of us were upstairs…it was perfect. Lots of pictures and memories were made. Just sad that the week is already over.

We’ve used two different rental companies over the years but yours is the one I will highly recommend to anyone. Your communication was amazing and I had no fear that you wouldn’t answer your phone or email if I had any concerns.

Thanks again!!
—T. Pearson (Heron Landing)

My husband and I share many fond memories of our repeated visits to Kennisis Lake. We were very lucky to have met Lea Harper through the Kennisis Cottage Rentals Inc. website when we rented our first cottage with the company six years ago. We still remember jumping into the still lake on a beautiful Thanksgiving afternoon, and the paddling into the many bays on the lake. We also met Lea in person on our next couple of cottage rentals. Always willing to help us out, Lea would ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Thank you for helping us build great memories of our trips to Kennisis Lake.
— Peter & Dorothy M.(Kennisis Retreat)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for the last couple of years. Both years’ bookings were seamless and everything exceeded our expectations. The cottage itself was beautiful with everything you could need and more. Hopefully we get a chance to do it again. We will definitely be booking through Kennisis Cottage Rentals.
—M. Hughes (The Phoenix)

Thank you for the incredible week. I didn’t know what my dream cottage was until I arrived. We never tired of the view.

—A. Riekstins (Redstone Vista)

The week was absolutely wonderful. We loved the cottage, it was very nicely decorated and suited the cottage atmosphere. The interior had all the conveniences of home and more. Kitchen was very modern with lots of kitchen space. Sand beach and dock were great. We spent a lot of time there. It was an awesome holiday.
—Anonymous (Big Sky Beach House)

My family and I had a great time at Getaway Bay. It was exactly what I like in a cottage – welcoming and rustic but with all the conveniences you would want (the kitchen had everything !). My parents were there for a couple of days and the fact that the cottage was one level and the grade of the property was relatively flat was good for them. We loved the privacy of the property and the lake was pretty quiet (not sure that is normal or just because the weather was cooler). We saw a loon a few times and heard the wolves one night. We did a lot of star gazing, swam, ran, cycled, puzzled. Mornings on the deck, afternoons on the dock and evenings at the fire pit. All in all we had a very good week.
