My best cottage rental experience!
Lara and her husband, along with their stunning property, are true gems that are difficult to come by in this business. From even pre-check-in to post-check-out, they were consistent and extremely helpful in their communication and accommodation. From the cleanliness of the property to the attention to detail and tour / welcoming nature of the hosts, it was honestly everything our group could have asked for and more. What impressed me especially was the care and thought they put into improving the experience every time - notably, their continuing efforts to remove the weeds from the bay/dock as per previous comments to have a clean and well-kept swimming area. Everything was explained fully from the beginning and anything that needed to be fixed was addressed right away. You don't think it can get any better, but it does: after we left, one of us realized he had forgotten his hoodie on the property, and Lara took thoughtful measures to bring it back into the city for us and arrange a seamless pick-up. This really just speaks to their character as people and not just hosts. Thanks again and we would love to come back someday! :)

Great location and cottage!
We had another amazing week at the Sun Bay Cottage! The location is perfect and the kids played on the beach and in the water all day. The host is amazing and so easy to contact if you need anything, but since they have thought of everything you never need to contact them.

A great spot to spend time with family
From the first communication to arrival any questions or queries were answered promptly. When we opened the door there was a view of the waterfront from the bay to right across the lake through a huge picture window. Fishing, swimming, and many hours of playing in the sand for a 3 and 6 year old. Large grassy front yard offered space for playing with many areas to sit and relax Coffee on the dock was beautiful and so peaceful Living space was spacious for 8 adults and 2 children and two bathrooms worked out just fine. Our hosts were kind, gracious and very accommodating. We would have no problem returning to such a lovely spot. Thank you Lara for all you did to make our family vacation a success!

Perfect house for a large family group
The house and grounds were exactly as listed. Very well appointed, comfortable and roomy. We enjoyed being able to sit down together as a large group in the dining area. The deck and the yard leading down to the lake were spacious. The swimming was poor in spite of efforts to clear the weeds near the tiny beach and dock. It is the entire reason for a less than 5 rating. This is not the place for those that like to swim..

Great cottage!
We had a great time staying at Sun Bay Cottage! The whole family enjoyed the lakefront property and all the amenities it came with. We all enjoyed taking the kayaks on the water and making fires each night. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials which made the meal preparations so easy. Thank you Larisa! We had a great time and hope to be back next year!

Amazing Vacation
This was our first time at Sun Bay Cottage and we could not have been happier. The place is wonderful, easy to get to and fully stocked with anything you could need. The location was so handy for quick runs into town or just for an outing, there are so many attractions around. The cottage is beautiful, the kids loved the swimming and building sand castles, the grass lawn was like walking on carpet. The hosts are amazing, they met us at check in and were available if we needed anything. They are truly ‘premier host’ and have thought of everything you might need. Can’t wait to go back.

Amazing place to relax
Our second time here at the sun bay cottage. the hosts are so nice and keep the place very clean and comfy. Amazing for both adults and kids. the sand area is prefect to play in and the kayaks and paddle boards are perfect for some time on the water. The town is just around the corner and has fun activates all summer long.

Ideal getaway for all ages
Our stay at the cottage was fantastic! With a group of 8, including both adults and children, we enjoyed every moment. The property offered great water activities and a spacious yard perfect for kids. Nights by the fire pit were a highlight, and the comfortable, well-equipped home had everything we needed. A top-notch choice for families seeking a memorable retreat.

Beautiful location
Big house, well stocked kitchen, located 10 min from both Fenelon Falls and Bobcaygeon which both have beaches. Water at this property was not suitable for swimming due to the weeds. Excellent outdoor spaces for eating and sitting to admire the view. We went kayaking everyday. Hosts left us a lovely gift of wine. This place was super clean. Great campfire area. Gorgeous lakeside views. Only drawback was that we had to go out to buy toilet paper.

We had a wonderful time at this amazing cottage. Lara provided an effective and concise orientation and was very attentive to any questions we had during our stay. We loved the nice grassy area for playing games, the outdoor gazebo with screens and a big table, and lots of other outdoor seating.

Great stay
The cottage was great, although at the time we were there, the algae kind of wrecked the swimming,T.V. area was not comfortable for our whole group of 8 to watch a movie at the same time., but fit 4 comfortably. The one bed in the room with just a dresser was very uncomfortable,and very hot with the door closed. Could use a fan.. We loved the gazebo on the deck, and the closeness to a really great golf course. The hosts were great, and made themselves available for any needs.All in all our time was very enjoyable.

Great family week at the cottage
The house was large enough to accommodate the 8 adults and 2 babies in our family. The showpiece was the backyard that was huge and fastastic playing cornhole, bocce, soccer and throwing the baseball around. There are two docks where you can fish from or just relax on and a small sandy beach that was great for the babies. A negative was that there was algae in the lake which was not good for swimming. The mattress in the master bedroom was very good but they were not great in the other 3 bedrooms. Overall it was a good experience.

Great stay!
You can tell Lara and David really care about their property and guests. Upon check-in, they gave us a tour which was very helpful in maintaining the property at a considerable standard. Lara and David were so warm and welcoming and their cottage is well-kept and clean. Our infant and toddler felt right at home (which isn't easy to do in an unfamiliar environment). We will absolutely stay here again. Definitely recommend!

Another fabulous stay!
We stayed at Sun Bay cottage last summer and returned this year with our family from the UK. Once again, it did not disappoint. Lara and David have put so much work into improving their beach and lake front for swimming this year, with the child and teen in our party easily able to jump off the dock and swim freely. They had hours of fun. The cottage is fully equipped with everything you need for a family break. David and Lara truly meet their super host title. They think of everything and were there to greet us again. Their warm welcome feels like meeting old friends. We cannot wait for our next visit, thank you both!
