In general we had a nice stay. The property itself is outdated and it required a major repair. The views around the cottage is spectacular and the host is responsive.

Our mini vacation
We were very blessed in that the weather was terrific. My developmentally delayed son age 55 and my best friend another Margaret stayed with me. I swam every day as did my dog Carson. We put the garbage in the bin at the end of the driveway as suggested, and separated the recyclables and left them in the two recycling containers as directed.. We cleaned and tidied before we left and believe we left the property as we found it. We would seriously look at returning another year.

We had fun
Our primary reason for this visit was for my children and husband to fish. They had so much fun fishing and spent each day on the dock. The cottage was perfect for what we were looking for and the animals and nature was a perfect atmosphere for us, we even encountered two beavers that wanted to interact and play. It was so much fun and we made beautiful memories there. Thank you Tom for being such an amazing host.

Cute cottage
Owners were excellent to communicate with promptly. Would be better if linens were included in the rental. Not enough indoor dining chairs to accommodate the number of people advertised for. Great outdoor dining space if the weather allows. We had a cozy quiet little getaway which was great!

I can’t say enough about this cottage, the location is so close to Bala, Gravenhurst, and great trails too. Tom was great at making sure I had all of the info needed to check in and be able to just relax and made sure I knew I could message him with any questions. 5 stars for sure!!

Weekend getaway
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in a beautiful location. Tom was great with the check-in, providing plenty of information and answering all of our questions. The rooms are a little smaller than we thought from the pictures, but great for sleeping. Many hours were spent on the dock sipping a beverage, watching the wildlife, and touring the bay on the kayaks and paddleboard. Memorable weekend!

Cozy family cottage + dogs and great dock fishing!
Property is well maintained at the very inner part of the bay. Our dogs were welcome, dock fishing is premium and plenty of kayaks to explore the bay and lake. Was searching for pike and walleye but caught tons of smallmouth bass and some pretty big ones too! Would highly recommend this charming Muskoka getaway.
