Thanksgiving getaway
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 The property itself is outdated and it required a major repair.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.
Enjoyed the stay. Nice trails close by. Beautiful area. Cottage was nice a bit small but had most everything you need. Great BBQ and dock for hanging out. Tom was good to deal with no complaints.
This is our second stay at the cottage, needless to say we like it, a lot.
True Muskoka surroundings, trees, rocks and water and the cottage is cute too.
My wife and I enjoyed our stay and the wildlife, The cottage was very nice and cozy and the location was scenic and peaceful. Tom made sure our check in and checkout were seamless. He also provided some tips and nearby trail locations. Communication from the host was excellent.
The cottage and lake are beautiful. The place is clean and tidy. It was great having the kayaks and stand up paddleboards. Don't forget bug spray. The hosts are responsive and very polite. We really enjoyed our time there.
This cottage was exactly what I was looking for, on the water, quiet, amazing views and nearby hiking. I will book again. The host was easy to reach and very helpful.
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!
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.
Tom was lovely to work with as to the need we had for gathering spot for small family gathering. A bit smaller than expected inside but lots of outdoor space and decking area. Lovely spot at end of cove which allowed more privacy and great access to kayaks. Very nice accomodations.
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.
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!!
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!
