Fantastic Location and Host
Guest: Nick F
(New York)
Date of Stay: 10/20/11
Review Submitted: 10/26/11
We've just returned from six nights in the cottage - a group of three men on a college reunion. We flew in from various parts of the world and had a great time. We were looking for a quiet getaway that was easily accessible from Toronto airport and this was perfect. The cabin was well equiped and we had lots of fun taking out the boat and canoe down the river. Closeby are many trials and would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone seeking a quiet retreat. Joe was also a great host and very helpful for all our needs.
Owner response:Dear Nick, It was a pleasure to have you come to our family cottage with your friends for your college reunion. We are always pleased to hear that our guests have enjoyed themselves at our special place at "The End Of The Lane". We look forward to your speedy return. Marilyn & Joe Maher

the location was everything joe said it was. We had a nice time, lots of room for all 6 of us. The boating was excellent, went all the way up to Georgian Bay, and all the way down to lake Couchiching.

End of the Lane Cottage

Looking at the river gave me the most peaceful feeling I have ever experienced. I drew a portrait while sitting in the Muskoka room (screened in on three sides extending over the river) in the adorable boathouse. The silence is perfect and so restful. I felt like I was the only one in a quiet world. Thank goodness I looked up from my work to see a beautiful Blue Herron flying by to perch across the river. I loved everything about this unique rental. I will come back every year.
Owner response:Thank you, Arlene, for loving our special place at the end of the lane as much as we do. It was our pleasure to meet you and to have you come to visit and we sincerely hope that you will come back again and again. Warmest regards, Marilyn & Joe Maher

2011 Summer vacation

This place is represented well. My family of 7 stayed there for a full week. The setting is beautiful. The host gracious. The house was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need to walk into a home. It is very warm and inviting. We are from Missouri and put a great deal of faith coming all the way up. It is in a convenient location. Roads are well maintained. I have siblings that are looking for a place to stay. We grew up coming to Orillia as children and will continue to stay in this place if it is available. I had the deposit refund within a week of my stay. I can't say enough good things, really! Joe, Thanks for sharing the beauty of your house. Oh and the boathouse was perfect as well.
Owner response:Dear Lisa, Mark & family, It was a pleasure to have you come to our "Place in the Sun" (Pahbah Keezis). You have a wonderful family and it will be pleasure to have you come back. Enjoy the rest of the summer and come back soon! Joe & Marilyn Maher
