Beautiful property, luxurious details, spotless clean and super well appointed with every comfort. Came with my extended family, everyone loved it, kids had the time of their lives. Boats, water trampoline, lily pad, hot tub and sauna were spotless and ready to use when we arrived - really appreciate all the thoughtful touches by the wonderful owners. Will definitely return.

First and foremost, the host was available and responsive and cared that we had an excellent experience at his cottage. We were welcomed with 3 bottles of wine and 2 boxes of s’mores in the kitchen. What a nice touch.Spectacular view of the lake from the cottage. The hot tub was flushed and clean, dock trampoline were new, lots of beach towels, extra propane tank available for the bbq , the place was immaculate when we checked in. There was a power outage and Sam kept us updated on when it would be back.I cannot say much more than you will be very happy with your stay as Sam really cares that you enjoy your vacation. Gravenhurst farmers market on Wednesdays is a must to go.Enjoy!!!

Our group had a wonderful stay. Sam, our host, was fantastic. He made sure we knew all the details of the house, how to use the fireplace and the sauna. There was a lot of snow and Sam made sure that things were shovelled and that we had access to everything. The house is beautiful, clean, and perfect for our group. The views were incredible. Lots of wildlife around, we saw 17 deer one morning. All together a great place!

Fabulous stay on the Lake

We had a fabulous stay on the lake! The views, the sunsets, the peace and quiet - it was all just magical. The house was stunning, just as advertised and we had everything we needed. Grocery store and some gift shops nearby, it was perfect. Thank you for hosting us. ox

Great location

Nice spacious and updated cottage. Great for large groups. A lot of outdoor seating space. In need of a little bit of TLC; some dock lights not working, lots of cobwebs, hot tub needing cleaning. Owners were very responsive and quick to address some things that needing taking care of.

This is an incredible home for a family vacation with everything you could want! The water amenities made for a very memorable experience, with a canoe, kayak, peddle boat, water trampoline and a couple floats. And with shallow water, kids could easily play and feel safe. Inside there were a couple of arcade games, an air hockey table, and a pool table. There was also a sauna and assorted gathering spots indoors and out for games, and sitting around. It was very, very lovely and we would love to go back next summer!

Family vaca

Everything was easily accessible and convenient. The only thing I will say is it is busy in this area. Not in a bad way but if you have little ones trying play you’ll have to keep an eye on them. This has nothing to do with the property owners, you just never know who’s driving by. This was an excellent property for any big family.The picture I added was from a beautiful sunset from the dock

Amazing Cottage

This cottage was so fabulous, as soon as you walk in the door you can tell it has been professionally cleaned top to bottom. There were even blankets folded into bows on the beds which made it seem like you were walking into a resort. The host was very communicative and helpful with any questions, and provided immediate responses. There were even multiple propane tanks for each of the BBQ's which was great! The lawn was well maintained, as was the pathway down to the dock. We spent hours and hours laying out in the sun on the dock as well as on the water trampoline. I cannot think of one negative thing to comment about our stay, everyone had an amazing time - all made better by such premium accommodations.
