Amazing mini stay in carpenters cottage. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was set in a spectacular location, somewhere with views that can be seen nowhere else in the lakes. Being able to wake up and look outside and see the Coppermines Valley and the old man looking down upon us made the stay very special. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage to all.

One of the best locations of any cottage we have ever seen or stayed in. The cottage is rugged and functional, very fitting for where it is. The hot tub is a great addition. We have stayed several times and will definitely return.

Our last visit was in Sawyers Cottage but Carpenters was just as good, if not better. Fabulous showers and hot tub as before and we can't wait for our next stay up here.
