The cottage and bunkie are fabulous. Everything we could think of was there, and the place was spotless. The decor is beautiful as well. The hosts are very kind and communicative. They know and love the area, and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. There were lots of sitting areas outside and in for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves. We had a lot of fun kayaking, canoeing and fishing off of the dock. Wonderful cottage vacation.
Joanne and Ron were excellent hosts. They did an amazing job on the renovation down to the smallest detail. The bunkhouse was fantastic and our teenage boys loved it. We brought our boat with us and the floating dock accommodated nicely in the quiet calm cove. When we first arrived we thought our GPS was leading us astray, but once you pull into the driveway and walk down the steps you will be in awe. Thank you to the hosts for sharing this wonderful cottage, we truly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you very much Justin. We feel like we have a hidden gem and agree that the drive in makes you question the GPS. The meandering drive along our cottage road is surrounded by forest and wetlands before finding our driveway. We had the same feeling the first time we drove in many years ago! We're glad that you and your family enjoyed the water and hope the fish were biting. Thank you for your kind words about our cottage. It has been our pleasure hosting your group and hope you'll be back again.
What a little slice of heaven! If this cottage doesn’t have it, you probably don’t need it. Everything was clean, well stocked and felt like home away from home! Excellent hosts and top notch accommodations. Our highlights were fishing off the dock and watching the kids catch bass, bluegill and perch, kayaking and canoeing the little cove, and touring the waterway on our fishing boat! If you bring your own boat, make sure to grab lunch at the Waubac, located between Swift Rapids lock and Big Chute! If you want a family friendly place on the Trent Severn Waterway, look no further. Such a beautiful location

About the host
Hosted by Joanne Simpson
We are semi-retired, longtime cottage lovers from Caledon and love sharing the cottage with friends and family.
Why they chose this property
From the moment we began driving down the private cottage road, we felt the tranquility of Muskoka. Passing forested areas, the Canadian shield, wetlands, and eventually the cottage view of our bay on the Severn River, we could hear and see the natural beauty of cottage life. Visitors watch for signs along the way for the highlights. Drive slowly and you may be surprised to see the herons on their nest or a beaver paddling around at dusk.
What makes this property unique
The open living spaces outside and inside make family gatherings so special for us. We love sitting on the dock and watching the boats go by in the distance. Having areas to be together or quiet places to sit and relax on the water or the deck allows you to feel a sense of peace.
