The cottage is located on a big land, there is a small pond next to it, with a paddle boat, but its steering shaft was broken, so it was unusable. Luckily, the owner allowed us to use the ATV there, and that was lots of fun. Rice Lake is right across the street but most of the shoreline is private property, so not really usable, except for a walk. The closest public park/beach is 20 minutes away, and it's overall nice and swimmable. The small village of Hastings is located about 20 minutes as well, and you can fish there. In terms of the cottage itself, it's old, but has some recent renovations (bathrooms mainly). Unfortunately, some beds were not that comfortable, some amenities were missing in the bathrooms. The kitchen was not very clean, especially inside the cupboards, but had the amenities that we needed. Overall, we felt like the price we paid was a bit expensive, considering the condition of the accommodation.
