Bright Sun Escape, Kennisis Lake

This cottage is really great. The views from the upper deck and the dock area below are beautiful. Everything is very well suited to family fun and the cottage is well equipped.

Beautiful place, great location, Great Lake! However, carpenter ant infestation in the cottage. Not just one or two…. We killed over 100 over the weekend.

This was our second time visiting Bright Sun Escape and we all agreed it was the best week of the summer. The cottage is clean and spacious with everything our family of four could need. The marina is an easy walk for supplies, ice cream and the new pickle ball courts. The kids loved swimming off the dock and playing on the Lily pad and exploring in the paddle boat.The view from the hot tub can't be beat! We really recommend visiting the Wolf Centre especially the evening Wolf Howl walk. I hope we can visit again next summer and continue the tradition.

Everyone in the family loved the cottage, both inside and outside. Plenty of space for 10 people with children. Great views of the lake and surrounding. Thank you, owners.

This was the second time we stayed .This year was just a fantastic as last year. Is very well equipped (dishes, pots, etc.)The view from upper deck and living room, dining area, breath taking. Hot tub, such a bonus. When there we like to go into Dorset and eat by the water, not far from the huge general, gift store. Makes for a nice outing. Very easy to get a hold of the owner, or person in charge. All in all, wonderful time was had. Our son, daughter in-law, daughter and 3 yr old granddaughter love going to this cottage.

I have a crew of 8 that usually camp or cottage together. The pictures advertising the cottage are accurate....the place was fantastic. Great water activites and a couple of areas to play games, which were available. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen together as it was so spacious...8 of us could sit comfortably while 1 or 2 tended tondrinks or cooking. The doc is in incredible shape and easy to get in and out of the water with good plastic wide ladder. Dock fishing didn't yield any catches so be sure to canoe out across the lake for a catch. The firepit has seats but for best comfort bring your own camping fold up chairs. We hope to go back next year!

This is our 3rd time at Bright Sun Escape and it never disappoints. They have absolutely everything available at this cottage. The lake water is great, the addition of the water slide and water mat were great for the kids and hot tub is always an added bonus. We hope to definitely come back again. Greg

We brought the whole family together for our first visit to Kennisis Lake and we were wowed! What a beautiful and peaceful lake, stunning landscapes from the deck, dock and boat. Some great hiking trails, and we had fun visiting the wolf sanctuary nearby. The Saucy Pig restaurant was a fun treat and - don't worry - we were at the Marina every day for ice cream! A 5-minute walk to ice cream is more than we could've ever asked for. The cottage was beautiful and so clean - you can immediately tell that it's well taken care of. It was a little colder than anticipated so we made good use of the hot tub, overlooking the quiet lake. We even saw a few loons! The kayaks, paddle boat, paddleboard and lilly pad were all enjoyed during the week and there was no shortage of fun activities. Even the babies loved going for a dip in the water off the private beach! Fires at the fire pit were great, too - it's private and surrounded by trees and conveniently close to the cottage if you need to grab extra marshmallows! This is a great cottage and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation with lots of fun things to do.
