Our decision to stay at Hawthorn Cottages was strictly because it was dog-friendly, as well as perfectly located for our hiking vacation. We stayed in Cottage 9 - and it had everything we needed for our home away from home. Brian was an amazing host and makes a point of making you feel welcome.

We booked the 3 bedroom cottage for the week, had a great relaxing time! Already booked for next year and hoping for New Years ! Cottage very clean and well appointed ! Brian and Jayne are great hosts ! The best time was when our 2 and 6 year old granddaughters came up for for 3 nights , going on a boat and fishing and catching fish and just having great outdoor time was the best ! Seeing how happy they were most of the time and what great memories we made !

Situated on the shore of Lake Eugenia, this hidden gem is a family run establishment who makes you feel like long time friends from the moment you arrive. We were impressed with the well manicured grounds and the view of Lake Eugenia was breath taking. We stayed in cottage 3. The cottage was charming and rustic and well decorated.

The large deck provided the perfect setting for dinner as well as having
