This property checked a lot of boxes for us. It was nice to have the lake in the backyard even though we didn't take advantage of lounging in the backyard. We were primarily there for an IMSA race at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, and for those of you who are race fans, it was only about a 25 minute drive from the house to the track.

It’s just beautiful! The outdoor space is a dream and has something for everyone. Having the pedal boat for use was so much fun.. there is direct access to get into the water and that was the highlight for the kids and our dogs.The host was so easy to communicate with and had someone come out and help us with the hot tub and air conditioning when we could not fix it. Everything is just like in the pictures and it’s so well kept and decorated. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing time with the family.

This house was beautiful and gorgeous views! Exactly what we were looking for as a back drop to get ready for my daughter's wedding. We even got incredible sunrise pictures of her and with the old white Rolls-Royce that's parked there. We loved listening to the waves crash and was peaceful to fall asleep to it. The house was well equipped and plenty of room and seating to enjoy. Our host even arranged for us to have lakeside massages done. The lady was amazing! Best massage I've ever had. We were all very impressed with this home and the land scaping and lots of parking. The silk bedding was a very nice touch and comfortable sleep as well. Our host was very responsive and attentive to us. Thanks so much! We would definitely rent again!

Perfect lakeside getaway

We spent a wonderful relaxing week in the Lake House while there were renovations going on in our own home. The property is located right on the shores of Lake Ontario and the view from the family room is truly spectacular. The owner is a wonderful host, very responsive to answer any questions and ensure that our stay was as pleasant as possible.The house is well equipped with modern appliances and is beautifully decorated and maintained.The area is very quiet and in a charming neighborhood.If you are looking for a place to escape and relax by the water I would strongly recommend the Lake House.

This was the perfect place for our mini family vacation. The house is beautiful and the backyard is gorgeous! We loved the many different seating options outside with the swing being a favourite. We spent a great deal of time enjoying the view and listening to the sound of the waves. It is a perfect place to relax and read a book. We also enjoyed the board games that were available to use. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The check in process was very easy. The host was very welcoming and had excellent communication. The house was very clean and we appreciated all of the care that went into the home. We had a wonderful stay!

An amazing property to stay at. The main floor bedroom was perfect for my older mom as it only had one small step and close bathroom. The tv was easy to use as well as most appliances in the kitchen. Did need extra clarification setting up the ice maker but between the host and Google I got it working lol the view is absolutely breathtaking. We sat outside more than inside during the day. Only thing I would suggest for future guests would be to maybe create a “how to” or trouble shoot booklet for how to operate the hot tub, fireplace and ice machine for ease and maybe relocate the BBQ from the upper deck to the lower level. We had a remarkable stay and would most certainly stay here again.
