Testimonials

"Definitely worth a gander" - The Globe & Mail

"I am listed on a number of sites and by FAR "Cottage Portal" brings in the most hits and most of my rentals.
When I list my incoming messages by sender at the end of the year Cottage Portal has more that all the other sites combined." Doug Blue Mountain Chalet

"This is only the second site for which we've paid for a listing--out of over 20 that list our cottages--testimony to the quality of what you offer. We do get quite a few inquiries that originate with you. As very small-time business people, we need to keep trying for the most bang for our very limited advertising dollars" Steve and Lisa, Cottage on Lake Iroquois, near Burlington, Year-Round Lake Cottage Near Smugglers Notch, 3-Season Cottage on Metcalf Pond, Jeffersonville

"Last summer was the first time I used your site, as you were kind enough to offer a trial opportunity. The results exceeded all my expectations, with immediate inquiries and several weeks of rentals arranged very quickly for our cottage (Stoney Lake in the Kawarthas of Ontario) plus many more inquiries than we could accommodate. As a result, we bought another rental cottage (Stoney Lake Cardinal Cottage & Kids Treehouse) over the winter, and would like to register both of them for this year." Tim McGuire

"I just wanted to say how easy the site is to use. I have had a cottage for rent now for two seasons and the ad has more than paid for itself! Thank you again....satisfied cottage owner." Elaine, Lakefront Cottage on Beautiful Balsam Lake

"The CottagePortal site has been a tremendous resource in renting out our cottages." Pat & Wilma, Cottage on Blackfish Bay and Blackfish Bay

"I would just like to take this opportunity and thank you for all the hard work and effort you & your staff are doing at CottagePortal.com site. Over the last couple of years we have been very pleased with the response to our ads and have appreciated the extra effort & guidance you have provided us when advertising with you. It's the " little things" that you have done for us and the personable one on one approach you use, that really set you apart as one of the premier land brokerage firms. " - Stephen Wuerch, Wuerch Properties, Ontario

"CottagePortal.com helped raise my rental rates 30% in the shoulder season” - Larry Kron, Natural Privacy, Manitoulin Privacy, Ontario

We had excellent response to your site. - Mary Jean Pudlo, Lake Muskoka, Ontario

"We had listed with another popular cottage rental site very successfully for a number of years, but their policies have changes in 2004, that listings became less effective in generating leads. In 2004 we found CottagePortal.com to be more effective and in 2005, we did not renew our listing with our previous advertiser. The service we received in last year from cottagePortal.com with its special features was definitely a better value for us." - John and Jean Weber - Weber's Cottage Golden Lake, Ontario

"I would like to thank the total co-operation and help in setting up the rental information on our rental property. Initially, to organize the information required, both mentally and in practice can be intimidating, however with the help of Cottage Portal staff the process became smooth and successful. Once again, thank you" - Gary and Olive Gauthier, Rumsay Lake, End of the Road on Rock Lake, Ontario

"I have used CottagePortal from their start up.  Their site has helped me greatly in finding good rental clients.  We have always had a full summer rental season. Thank you CottagePortal. Eric" - Picnic Is., Honey Harbour, Princeton Shores, Collingwood

I have our cottage advertised on your website and I just want to say that I think it is great!  Already we have had people contacting us about renting it.  Also I love the ease of using the site.  It is so convenient to go in and change or add information about my cottage at any time. Thanks, Anne Moher - Shallow Bay Cottage

"Thank you for looking after our listing updates so promptly. We are really looking forward to a great year of rental business. We were pleased with the results from your site last year and expect no less this new 2006 season! The enhancements you have made to your site and personal touches to the individual pages are most appealing and will no doubt keep viewers longer on your site which is optimum. Also the ratings on the search engines seems higher than last year! Congratulations for the hard work! Thanks from loyal customers - Anna and Paul" - Seagull Beach House
