10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! We stayed for a week in July; a group of 3 adults and 3 kids ages 6-13. We loved the quiet location and the kids loved swimming and fishing every day. It was very hot when we were here, but as another reviewer stated, the ceiling fans and tower fans in every room kept the house very comfortable. Opening the windows allowed for cross breezes as well. While we were here we visited Toronto (1.5 hrs away), went to Splash On Water Park in Orillia, and visited area towns to eat and shop. Most of our time was spent on the lake, swimming, fishing and kayaking. The only issue we ran into while we were here, was the fridge stopped working, but the owner had it replaced within 24 hours! All in all, we loved it and would definitely stay again!

A beautiful cottage with all the amenities to make memories for a lifetime! Our 4-adult 4-kid group had a wonderful time during our 3-night stay. The waterfront is spectacular and we enjoyed the kayaks as canoe as well as the giant foam mat - a real hit with the kids! Host was very responsive, and the cottage was well equipped. Very well maintained throughout. Just remember to being your own towels. We would love to return, either in the summer or another season. Thanks, Jake!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
We had a great time at this cottage, very quiet and peaceful, a clean space and great spot on the lake. The only negative was that the wifi did not work during our stay so if you anticipate needing an internet connection while here take that into consideration. Otherwise a wonderful spot and we'd go back for sure.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
The property was very private however we did have a few issues upon arrival. The slider door screen constantly fell off. The cottage itself could use a good cleaning. Very dusty and lots of cobwebs. The lake is far to weedy to allow for swimming off the dock.
