wonderful family bonding at the lake!

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our week-long stay at this beautiful cottage property. The cottage is incredibly comfortable and super well-equipped. It suited our two families perfectly! The children (and kids at heart!) loved having daily swims off the dock and exploring the trees and rocks on the shore. The owner was also very responsive to a small but pressing issue we contacted him about during our stay. We couldn't have asked for a nicer cottage experience (and this is coming from a group of seasoned cottagers!). We hope to be back!

From start to finish, our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. The cottage was just as advertised, even more beautiful in person. We hope to make staying here an annual thing after we enjoyed ourselves so much. Beautiful location. Only regret was only staying two nights. Thank you for your hospitality!

Excellent Stay

Our 2 families had an fantastic 4 day weekend at the Mooz. Everything in the write-up was exactly as stated. On arrival we noticed the swim platform was still on shore but the owner explained the winds the weekend before didn't allow him to place it. They attended the next day and placed the platform so the kids were pumped. Very nice property.

A may long weekend for all ages!!

Dave and Manon were so easy to communicate right from the get-go. It was our first cottage rental, so I had lots of questions which they were so prompt with and patient in answering. The cottage itself is beautiful. Ideally situated on the water, perfect sandy beach area for our young kids to play in, lots of water sports to offer, and well stocked kitchen. It was great that there was a variety of indoor activities as well for when it rained. We had plenty of space, the cottage was clean, and we loved our stay here. Will definitely keep this place in mind for future bookings. Thanks for a wonderful stay ❤️

Mid-winter getaway

Excellent stay. Comfortable, clean cottage with everything we needed and more. Plenty of room for 9. Ice fishing was slow (1 pike), but it was fun trying.

Beautiful cottage

The location was excellent and the property beautiful. The cottage had everything you could possibly need. Lots of outdoor places to sit both in the sun and shade. Only caution would be getting down to the lake is a bit difficult for anyone who might have mobility issues. So happy we chose this cottage!

Beautiful location for a cottage get away. Far enough from the city’s and close enough to the towns.

The property and location are ideal to plan a get away. Close enough to get the “items” you run out of and far enough away from Toronto that makes it feel like a get away.. totally enjoyed our stay.

Mooz is Amazing!

What a treasure! Just the right amount of comfort and coziness So many cute little spaces to unwind and relax. We loved the birds and squirrels kibitzing over the feeder. Can’t wait to come back. Lots of games, reading material and a kitchen thst is fully equipped for cooking up some Amazing meals. One of the best rentals I’ve ever stayed in.

Cosy cottage with all the modern conveniences.

We had a short but very comfortable stay. Mooz Cottage was a great choice for us because we were in the area specifically to play golf nearby. Since that activity took up most of our day we didn't get to fully appreciate everything that the cottage had to offer. I have to say the kitchen is very well equipped (except for the lack of a microwave) and there are lots of games and things to do. Beds are very comfortable. We had a lovely stay.

The lake is perfection. Quiet, weed free, many entry points. The kids loved the cayak and the little sand beach. The cottage is not your typical cottage - it is a lake house! Goregous and roomy! Will be booking again.

A Piece of Heaven on the Lake

We all agreed the best part of this stay was gathering on the beautiful dock to share the view of Lake Manitouwabing! What could be more relaxing! Soaking up the beauty of this Canadian scenery was wonderful. The provided kayaks added to the experience. The well stocked cottage had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. A special place for family and friends!
