| This is a very well maintained cottage with lots of room, comfortable beds, 3 washrooms, lawn games, boats, and other games plus a jungle gym. Easy access to a warm lake so great for toddlers through teenagers. Kitchen is large and well stocked. Very quiet and private. Highly recommended.

| I'm not one to usually write reviews but surely this was a cottage worth raving about!
Absolutely loved our stay at this cottage. Place was clean and very spacious. Victoria was very quick with responses and was very accommodating to our needs. Kitchen is spacious and well stocked with kitchen tools. Seperate guest room was very well thought out with its own kitchen and bathroom.
The backyard was amazing. Equipped with a giant and CLEAN hot tub and massive deck, our dogs had tons of room to run and play and swim. Such a perfect stay and the drive was only under 2 hours away from Toronto.
Definately recommending this cottage and will remember to book again in the future.

| My second time booking this cottage! I think we'll make it an annual thing because we had such a lovely stay again. the hosts are super communicative, friendly and understanding. The home itself is magnificent! Spick and span :) very tidy home! they also have a tv compatible with disney+ (you just need to log yourself in and out) makes for a perfect cozy time once the sun goes down. what a great start to our summer! The yard is also a decent size - we played some bocce too haha. Overall excellent experience. We'll definitely be booking again :)

| What an amazing experience. This cottage was everything and more than what we expected. The cottage is minutes away from conveniences like the LCBO, Beer Store, Groceries, etc. The driveway has room for well over 5 vehicles. The cottage is located in a heavily wooded area that feels very private. It's huge! Two kitchens, two fridges, huge deck, great view. We will definitely be booking again next summer!

| Great place! We booked for 6 adults as a bit of a 'everybody is vaccinated family reunion'. No disappointments as to who got the small beds because all bedrooms had at least queen size. Home is spacious and private. Big, well stocked kitchen.Two refrigerators plus a wine fridge. Large deck. Well maintained 6 burner Weber BBQ. Hot tub was a treat fwe enjoyed each cool evening before bed.A small sandy beach leading into a clean shallow lake. Boat launch. Nice dock. Big fire pit. Flat, grassy yard for outdoor games. Lovely little lake. Beautiful sunsets. Five or so minute drive to Bala (Don's Bakery is a must). Muskoka Lake winery and Clear Lake brewery nearby. Fifteen minutes to Port Carling. I'm trying to find something negative here, but there isn't anything. We had a great time in a beautiful setting surrounded by a lovely area. Thank you to the owners for sharing this treasure with us.We'll be back!
