Beautiful cottage
We had a wonderful time staying at Indy's cottage over Thanksgiving weekend. The fall colours were absolutely stunning. The location is ideal, whether you're looking to explore Algonquin on foot or enjoy a round of golf in Huntsville. The cottage is spacious, well-designed, and offered plenty of outdoor and indoor space. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and Indy kindly accommodated us with early check-in and late check-out. Indy was incredibly responsive, quickly fixing a dishwasher issue when it clogged. There's even a small desk inside if you need to get some work done during your stay. Kayaks got a work out, and those dock chairs were well used too! Beautiful stay!

I don't usually bother doing reviews. However, this cottage was lovely and exactly as described. Beautiful view of the lake and in a great location between Algonquin park and Huntsville. Host is lovely to communicate with. Hope to return!

Excellent cottage experience
We had an excellent stay as a family with four children ranging from 14 to 8. The cottage was clean and a good usable space inside and outside, communication with the host was spot on. The location was brilliant, we explored a bit but mostly made use of the lake and equipment provided. A thoroughly enjoyable stay and we would not hesitate to book again.

Fabulous Location
We stayed as a family of 6 adults with two dogs and the property couldn’t have been better for us! Great waterfront and views (even better than photos). Check in was a breeze and we were generously offered both early check in and late check out which was greatly appreciated. They also provided 3 large water refills, a generous amount of toilet and paper towel tissues, beach and bath towels, laundry detergent etc. All instructions to use devices were clearly explained in print outs and a binder for reference. We will definitely book again!

Trading Bay Cottage
We loved the property. We enjoyed that had just about everything you would need to enjoy a relaxing weekend. It was right on the highway which was perfect when we got a foot of snow. The host plowed the same day so we had access to the road. The host was always available and quick to respond to all questions.

Great Location and Beautiful Property
My wife and a couple of our friends wanted to have a short getaway and this property did not disappoint! We had 3 beautiful days away and the location and amenities helped amplify the stay. Lots of room and activities to do kept us busy and made us not want to leave. Great location and a beautiful property!

Most beautiful cottage
This is the second time we have stayed here. And there is a reason we will continue coming back. The cottage is so well equipped and wonderfully laid out. We tend to have the older adults upstairs and the younger adults and teens hang out in the lower level. The property is absolutely stunning and there are so many wonderful places to sit in the sun, out of the sun, under the gazebo (when it rains) . The views everywhere are gorgeous. It is truly heaven and we had a wonderful time. Thank you

Great Property and Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The cottage is spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. We spent a lot of time fishing from the large dock. Property is minutes from amenities like Main Street Dorset, Pizza on Earth and the Lookout Tower. The property manager is very responsive and the whole rental process went smoothly.

Great Cottage, Property, Location and Amenities
It was truly a pleasure to stay at this VRBO and everything was terrific! It was booked for an annual snowmobiling weekend that my 3 brothers and I have been doing for decades now, and everything from the cottage, property, location and amenities , to the immediately responded to communications with the owners was flawless. We were particularly impressed with the cleanliness and spaciousness of the cottage, along with it being equipped with all of the cooking utensils, small appliances, electronics and conveniences that you could possibly imagine. Everything was perfect and we hope to be back again soon. Thank you sooo much Indy & Jason, we had a wonderful time!

We were so impressed with this property. The cottage easily sleeps 8 with modern decor, full amenities, and easy access. We enjoyed our time here while snowmobiling but could easily see ourselves returning in the summer months.
