The cottage is very rustic. The location overlooking the lake for sunrise, sunset is spectacular. Although small, the beach area water was sparkling clean. Dogs had a wonderful time.

Talk about best kept secret. I almost hate to tell anyone how wonderful this location is. The listing, and the hosts explanation of how rustic the cottage is, was accurate. It’s an historic cottage perched on a smooth rock point that’s nestled at the end of a dead-end lane. You come to this place for the lake; to swim, tube, cruise, and fish. That is exactly what our family loved and appreciated. Our hosts met us upon arrival. Fresh bread in hand and a brief guided tour of the property and cabin. The cottage had a spacious screened muskoka room as shelter from rain and mosquitos but we were pleasantly surprised that the bugs were not bad during this time of year. The breeze through the muskoka room helped on those hot days. And the view of the lake was amazing while we sipped our morning coffee and planned our day. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked for all cooking needs. Water is not potable, so be sure to bring your own water for cooking and drinking. That said, there was plenty of hot water for showering and dishes. Great private dock and boat launch right across the lake. Free parking at boat launch plus parking for 4 vehicles and boat trailers at cabin. Some previous reviews criticize what we call “charm” about this cabin. But none of that mattered. Get outside. Enjoy the lake. Fish from the point. Swim off the rocks or the dock. Appreciate nature. Be in awe of the sunrise. Snap a pic of the sunset. Just Breath.

My brothers, Dad, and I had a wonderful week here. The property has a fantastic northern exposure that's great for stargazing. The lake and surrounding terrain are beautiful. The cabin is classic and well cared-for. 10/10 would recommend
6.0 / 10.0Average·Sep 2023
The owners came by when we arrived and dropped off the homemade bread which was lovely.
The road into the cottage is single lane and very rough and scary in places. Don’t arrive after dark!!
The cottage is very old and in very poor shape. There are no bunk beds as described in the write up which left us without enough beds and parents bunking with kids. Only one toilet- bathroom is extremely small. There is a leak in the kitchen pipes that leaves a large pool of water on the counter.
The fire stove for heating was very challenging.
The list of what was expected for us to clean was lengthy including cleaning the oven. So our final day was spent cleaning instead of enjoying the fishing and swimming.
We enjoyed fishing, campfires and swimming and kayaking. The kids really enjoyed playing in the woods. It is a beautiful spot and sunsets were spectacular.
I would recommend serious repairs before continued rental and no more than 5 people as there isn’t enough seating at the dining table beyond that.
