Thompson Vacation Rental cottage

From the moment our family walked into the kitchen to unpack, to the quiet time at the dock the morning we left, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Our family of 8 arrived at Pam and Craig's lakehouse tired and depleted. We run a Bed and Breakfast ministry in our home and had so looked forward to our week long stay at Fiddle Lake. We were warmly welcomed by Craig and delighted to see the fresh cut flowers in the kitchen. The house was immaculate and had all that we needed for our retreat.

We dined at the lakeside each evening enjoying the beautiful view, then had a fire in the firepit to roast marshmallows. Craig and Pam even provided the firewood!

It was evident to us that providing clean and comfortable surroundings is priority to this couple. Not a detail was missed. I especially enjoyed floating on the raft, and my husband sailed to his hearts content, well, paddled mostly as the wind didn't cooperate. We also enjoyed a large family of wild turkeys that visited several mornings.

I would highly recommend this lovely home to anyone looking for a family friendly, quiet and relaxing lakefront vacation.

We've already booked for next summer and extended to two weeks.
Thank you Pam and Craig for such a lovely time. You truly care about your guests and go above and beyond to ensure wonderful memories.

Better than we ever could have hoped for. It was a wonderful escape from the bustle of a big city. It was amazingly quiet and peaceful and I haven't seen that many stars since out West. While the living room had some outdated furniture, the bedrooms were beautifully antique. But overall the house was charming and homey with a lived-in type feel. The lakeside amenities were plentiful--canoe, rowboat, paddle boats, kayaks; life vests--but if you're coming on a busy weekend, you might have to share with the bed&breakfast too. (But you won't have to share the fire pit where you can roast marshmallows next to the lake or the swinging bench.) The oven was a bit on the fritz and if you bring a lot of food, you might need more pantry space to put it. But you will never want for more and you will never find better customer service or nicer human beings who tend to your needs in a flash. You will never want for activities either--even if it's miserable weather. They even have lots of board games for kids and adults and a lot of kids movies. I guarantee you will probably overpack for this trip because they have so much waiting for you and if you didn't have it, they are the type of people who will drop everything to get you what you need fast! I'm sure next year the prices will go up! We brought a two year old and four year old with 5 adults. The only bad thing was the weather and the cold water, but the owners hospitality more than made up for it.
