Thank you for a very relaxing week at your cottage. The boys loved the paddle boat and, on the rainy days, the satellite TV. The cottage is very spacious and the kitchen is very nice, clean and well stocked. Thank you for a great vacation. -The Raczywolski Family (August, 2010)

Dear Sandra and Mike, Thanks again for the use of your cottage for another wonderful family holiday. Kids are older now and loved the beach. We had great weather all week! Lots of laughs and great memories of another great week of summer at the Goldthorp's cottage. All the best. - Scott, Yvonne, Mel, Rico and the kids (August 2010)

Hi Mike and Sandra, Thank you for another fabulous year! Have a terrific summer and see you next year. -The Pryce-Noiles Family (July 2010)

Dear Sandra and Mike, Thanks for sharing your cottage. This was our second time back and now we are 3 with our little boy. We brought along friends and the two little families had a wonderful time. The kids loved the beach and lake. Thanks for the use of the crib and the sleeping quarters suited all very well. We'll be in touch as we hope to be back next year! The kid's also enjoyed the little table and chairs and paper and crayons! Thanks again for the happy holiday at your charming cottage. - Scott, Yvonne, Theo, Juliette, Melanie and Ricardo (August 2009)

Year 4 did not disappoint us. We swam, relaxed and enjoyed our week. See you next year! - Rod, Sherry, Ashley and Kylie (July 2009)

We had a wonderful time at your cottage! It took us 8 hours to get here and, WOW, was it worth it! It was great! We'll keep this place in mind for next year. Chippy seemed to like us....and our many bags of peanuts. The lake was beautiful and jumping off the raft and fishing was a lot of fun. We also enjoyed the farmers market. - The Field's Family (July 2009)

Dear Sandra and Family, We had a great time at the cottage! The weather did not interfere with our enjoyment. We would love to come back next summer. We'll be in touch. - The Smyth-Commodari Family (July 2009)

Dear Sandra and Mike, Thanks for letting us have your cottage for the week. It's a beautiful spot and we enjoyed waking up early to that gorgeous lake. Although we had pretty cool weather, Hershey, our Lab, had no trouble swimming every day. Thanks for having everything so tidy and clean! We had a really relaxing week. - Amy and Craig (August 2008)

We had a great time. The cottage is truly comfortable and well stocked. Children had a great time on the beach. The Osborne's (July 2008)

Our third year at the Goldthorp cottage was, yet again, a blast. Another year of cherished memories to add to our family album. See you next year! - Rod, Sherry, Ashley & Kylie Noiles (July 2008)

Sandra and Mike, WOW! What a fantastic cottage. We enjoyed swimming and hanging out on the deck, catching minnow, and nature walks. We even saw a huge tadpole and catfish one morning. What a fun place for our boys. Thanks so much! Keep us in the loop for next year's availabilities! - Shane, Tish, Quinn, and Tate Oldreive (July 2008)

What a wonderful place you guys have here! We enjoyed meals on the front porch, campfires at night, canoeing in the morning and walks in the evenings. We hope to be back in the future! Thanks. - Yvonne and Scott (August 2007)

What a great cottage and lake. It was perfect for our 11 month old and 2 1/2 year old grandsons! We enjoyed our stay. Thanks. - Brenda and David Watt (August 2007)

Year Two and it continues to get better - the cottage, the lake, the weather etc. We even caught fish this year. Whitewater rafting and the Madawaska Canoe Center on Tuesday was a bomb; we will do that again next year. So....the last week of July is ours for 2008. Thanks. - The Moreno's (July 2007)

I like Carson Lake. My sister, Kylie, jumped off "Exile Island" for the first time. I enjoyed your cottage. - Ashley
Thank you for another terrific year. A year of firsts in our second year. Rafting, diving for Ashley, jumping for Kylie, fishing for both! Another year of great memories! - The Noiles Family (July 2007)

This was our first family cottage getaway with three young children. We were not really sure what to expect. I am pleased to say that we really enjoyed ourselves. We were lucky to have wonderful weather and quickly fell into a routine of morning walks/hikes followed by exploring the lake by canoe/paddleboat and then cooling off with a swim before lunch. Afternoons were spent lounging on the dock, swimming out to the floating dock and making sand castles. We return home full of good memories. We will definitely do the 'cottage' experience again in the future. The cottage, Carson Lake and renting were all great. Thanks for the opportunity! - The Harrington Family (July 2007)

Sandra and Mike, Thanks for a great week. We enjoyed it so much just like the past years! The water was wonderful and the cottage was excellent! Thank you so much and we will see you next year! Thanks. - Heather, Craig, Ashley, Shannon, and Becky Webster (July 2007)

Thank you for a sparkling clean cottage, a beautiful lake and a lovely view. - The Gallivan-Roszak Family (August 2006)

Hello Goldthorp Family, What an amazing cottage. This is our second year at Carson Lake but our first at your cottage. We had a terrific two weeks and look forward to many more summers here. Thanks again and we will see you next year! The Noiles' Family (August 206)

We arrived after a 7 hour drive from London and WOW!! what a great view. A super "cottage" - we had an awesome week. Carson Lake and Goldthorp's cottage was the perfect Canadian Ontario summer vacation. We loved it! Thanks so much and see you next year. - Carrie and Peter Moreno (August 2006)

We had a great time. The cottage, setting, and area was wonderful. Thanks. - Randy, Laurie, Carolyn and Kevin (July 2006)
