REVIEWS | Laura |  |
| We enjoyed an idylic stay at the cottage. Plenty of room for six adults to roam, talk and enjoy the water together. Both the dock and the upper deck were roomy for us. The hosts thought of everything! The shore is the usual Muskoka rock, but with the turf in the watermade entry for a swim easy. The kitchen is a delight to work in, with all the conveniences of home. The closeness to Hardy Lake Trails, to Gravenhurst and Bala gave us plenty to do for a few hours a day, before we headed back down to the lake for a swim or a paddle in the canoe. When I return to Muskoka I would book this cottage again.

| We definitely enjoyed our stay at this cottage. We especially enjoyed the great access to the lake with a beautiful dock area facing west to catch the sunsets. The cottage boasted great amenities too including a dishwasher, a comfortable common area, and a great kitchen area with a lake view. Also the cottage was super clean and was thoughtfully stocked for guests.

| A fantastic week in cottage country. The cottage is exactly what you imagine from the pictures and more. The hosts (Dave and Alison) were very welcoming, and present to go over everything to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. They were available for any questions throughout the stay. The cottage itself is newly renovated with great appointments, including a bright and open living room and fantastic kitchen with everything you need. Outside, there is plenty of room to explore, and felt very private and quiet. The deck was great for meals with the family, and we spent tons of time on the dock. The kids wanted to swim all day, as the water was warm and inviting in the small lake. I thought jumping off the swim dock into the water was enough, but every day we swam further to the rockface that lines the water and jumped in (kids from a lower height and I gradually crept up to something slightly higher). Tons of fun. The entire family also enjoyed paddling around the entire lake, thanks to the SUP and canoe available. The location is ideal, as you can be in Gravenhurst or Bala in 15 minutes, and hiking trails across the street. As much as we liked staying to hang out at the cottage, we did drive somewhere to explore every day, so the location was a beneficial. We would return anytime to spend another week here.

| The Johannes Rock Haven is a stunning, clean and cozy retreat. Upon entering the cottage, you walk into the gorgeous well-equipped kitchen. This kitchen has everything!! Cooking oils, spices, food wrap, etc. It's the little touches that make the difference - like the welcome bottle of wine from the hosts and the starter pack of pods for the Keurig machine. The beds are comfortable with super soft sheets.
The dock is the perfect spot for a relaxing morning coffee, and we were lucky enough to catch some fish too. The lake is great for swimming, and with all the water toys made available, there is no shortage of fun. We had no rain during our stay, but if we had to stay in on a rainy day, this is the kind of place that you wouldn't mind lounging in.
Thank you, David and Alison, for an amazing family vacation at your cottage. We hope to be back again soon.

| We had a wonderful time at the Johannes Rock Haven cottage. The space is beautifully renovated - just as pictured, and all amenities are accounted for. The kitchen is very well stocked with all the basics, plus a large spice rack, and includes a host of smaller appliances (toaster, coffee keurig maker, blender, even a crock-pot, etc). All towels and linens, including beach towels, are provided, and everything is in an immaculately clean state. The beds are very comfortable, as are sleeping arrangements with three separate bedrooms. The outdoor area is equally as inviting with plenty of seating, an outdoor dining table and two loungers. No major weeds or vegetation in the lake off the dock - just large rock formations, very pleasant for swimming. Should you forget anything (even sunscreen, or a floatie pump) you will likely find it stocked for your arrival. Communication with hosts is very timely and clear. Thank you again David & Alison for such a memorable week at your first-rate property, we'll certainly be back!
