Luxury 7000 sq ft Lakefront Home with Hot Tub, Sauna, and Pool

We really enjoyed our stay for the few days we were there in Dec. Given that we were house bound for most of the time due to inclement weather, everyone had a great time because of all that was available to entertain ourselves, especially for the kids of all ages. Would make a great summer rental being a beach front property with an inground pool, aquatic equipment etc in addition to all that is available inside.

Gary and Mina were the ultimate hosts, by the time we left I felt like I'd made two new friends even though we never actually met. They were a light in the dark after another property fell through at the last minute due to a cockroach problem. Their home was amazing - spacious and cozy, the perfect Kawartha Retreat. We had lots of room for 16 of us, with comfy beds, spacious washrooms and seating areas everywhere.With a competitive family, there were some fierce ping pong competitions, lots of billiards, shuffleboard, air hockey and card games. The rec room had a bar, roulette table, sauna, children's area and more.Their record collection was outstanding, nice to go back in time and have a turntable spinning the tunes. Beautiful children's books for bedtime stories.A large kitchen was the source of some great family meals and much laughter.The lake wasn't ideal for swimming due to the hot summer but that didn't discourage water fun as the heated pool was always full, plus a hot tub to relax in. Kayaks, a canoe and paddle board were available if you wanted to venture out. Even the trampoline got used.The sunrises were stunning and sitting on the deck watching the sun come up was a wonderful way to start your day. If you're a bird watcher, there were lots to see. The outdoor setting around the fire pit was picturesque, and the home was surrounded by colourful perennial gardens.I could go on, but I'm out of characters. Couldn't have asked for more.

We LOVED our vacation at Gary and Mina's property. Our multigenerational family of 10 only have great things to say about the house, the grounds and the activities. Gary and Mina were responsive to all our questions before we booked and during our stay. The heated pool and hot tub were huge highlights for the whole family as were the the fishing off the dock and boating on the lake. We enjoyed the fire pit and the ton of games in the basement (pool, ping pong, air hocky, shuffleboard and even a little play area for our 2 year old). The house is huge and comfortable with great gathering spaces for TV, games and eating. I loved that several basics were supplied such as toilet paper, paper towels, seasonings, soap, coffee filters, etc. The backyard is beautifully landscaped with lovely trees, gardens, chairs around the firepit, and lights around the pool. The house has many personal touches (games, books, paintings, etc) which means it is not just a bare bones rental. It's very homey. We all had a great time! Thank you!

This was the perfect spot for our family holiday! The property has endless activities and things to do to keep everyone entertained and having fun no matter the weather. The heated pool and hot tub were a highlight and the kids swam all weekend even on cloudier days. Communication with Mina and Gary was easy and effortless. The hosts were very responsive. We would highly recommend and hope to return again as a family.
