Fantastic Stay......Again!

We had another fantastic stay at Grape Island. The location is terrific- quiet bay but close enough to the main channel on Stoney for easy access. Great swimming and tons of space in the cottage and bunkies. Pam was a terrific host, very welcoming and responsive to any questions. We will be back for sure.

Great Property

Great Property for our Family to wind down after long summer - cottage is very open with room enough for our Family (Adult Children) - property was exactly as described - easy to get to from mainland - very clean - all features required of a great stay. Pam was an excellent host who communicated all the way through rental with details and assistance to make our week most enjoyable!

Quiet, peaceful getaway....!

We spent Thanksgiving long weekend at Pam's cottage and it was exactly what we were looking for - quiet, peaceful, beautiful fall colours and sunsets. We took our Newfoundland dog who also loved every minute of it. Pam was fantastic and ensured we were all set before arriving at the cottage. The cottage is spacious, clean, well-maintained and has everything you need for a relaxing getaway. And you really are on your own little island! We really needed time away from our busy schedules and unplug from everything (including the TV, internet and the hustle-bustle of city living) - this was the perfect getaway for us. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of the Kawarthas in a beautiful and relaxing setting!

Incredible privacy!

We absolutely loved our stay! The property is perfect. The dock for the boats was awesome,layout was great. Owner was great to work with also...Only a few things I could pick out to make it 10/10! The inside shower(well just a tub) needs a surround or standard standup shower,outside shower was great if u are willing to go outside. And the parking inland was a surprise cost to use at about 160$ US. But we had three vehicles with boats so I totally understand but for parking in a high grass field I feel it was pricey.. believe me I’m being picky to even find those minor things! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful beautiful retreat!!! Loved it

Dear Brian Thanks for pointing out that the parking cost was not well described in my notes, I will change that. Surround on the shower, I could do that, I guess, we all love the outside shower. But I will could add that too. Im glad your stay was otherwise a 9/10. Pam

Perfect end to the Summer

This property was recommended by a friend and I am so glad we decided to give it a try. We had mesmerizing sunrises and sunsets from the property and there are tons of huge windows so you can see and hear the waterfrom every room! The bedrooms are large, the living spaces have lots of comfy seating and a big dining table and the kitchen had everything we needed. I enjoyed an outdoor shower every day. The property itself is beautiful with outdoor spaces around the cottage (Muskoka chairs , outdoor propane fire pit, large picnic table) the give views of the islands and Canadian Shield landscape. And there’s another island! What a treat to wander over the old wooden bridge to get some sun and swim on the other side! There is a large dock with more Muskoka chairs on the other island with a completely different (and gorgeous) view up the lake. I snuck away to meditate on the pink granite rock in the mornings! Solitude and serenity! If you have a big group and need space for many, or just want to escape for a while I can’t recommend it more highly!

Lovely experience for friends get-together

The place is dreamy! The main cottage is beautifully decorated and had nice furniture. The master bedroom is really nice! The kitchen is well equipped. The dishwashing was a bit stressful because we wanted to ensure we don't clog the drain and keep the sink very clean. Overall, it was a lovely stay and I would like to go back when the weather is nice.

Relaxing with family

Pam's property is very well looked after and we had no issues whilst there. The small tin boat with 15hp outboard worked flawlessly and would be more that enough for 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children to get to a few places on the lake for ice creams or lunch out at Hobarts light house, McCracken's landing. The beds are comfy and kitchen well stocked for a cottage. Great swimming off the small attached island. We would absolutely recommend a visit and it was worth the price. Thank you Pam, Bruce and Tulah

Unique and relaxing experience!

What an amazing and special place! We booked a stay for three nights to catch up with some family that we have not seen for too long and this place was perfect. The information provided by the owner made it easy to plan our trip and we didn't have any issues getting to the island or immediately being able to relax once we arrived. Luckily, we had nice weather so we were able to paddle, fish, and swim all day which this place is set up perfectly for. The main floor of the cottage was a beautiful place to socialize and relax, and all the bedrooms were comfortable. I am already thinking about planning another trip.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication

A good experience, but with a few issues.

Pros The view: Upon arriving at the location, you immediately noticed the beautiful view off of the dock. The island is very private and quiet as advertised. The dock is maintained very well and the main building has a cozy all-wood interior. The fishing was very good off the side of the main dock and the sunset was spectacular! Interior: The interior of the main building is very welcoming and comfy. The kitchen has many utensils and cookware to choose from, which was great as we did lots of cooking. The fridge, oven and other appliances also worked very well. Cons: Washing dishes: As we were told, the plumbing system is very delicate, so we should be extremely cautious when washing the dishes. As it cannot take any fat or even tiny bits of food, we had to wipe dirty dishes before washing and drying to avoid clogging the drain. The water pressure was also very low, so we ended up spending a significant amount of time washing dishes each night. Something to keep in mind, especially with a larger group of travelers. The bugs: Unfortunately, there were a lot of bugs at night – everything but black flies. As a result, we were forced to stay indoors as soon as the sun went down each night. I’m sure this will be less of an issue later in the Summer season. The heat: On the weekend we went, it was very hot and stuffy in the bedrooms. The two floor fans that we found were both broken. If we had one in each room, I think it would be much more comfortable at night. Thankfully, the living room had a great breeze from the big windows surrounding the seating area. Overall, we had some fun over the weekend. Thanks, Pam.

Island Getaway

Great spot for a family reunion. We had fun fishing, swimming, boating, enjoyed lunches outside, dinners inside, and wine near the fireplace. Everything was well thought out and had a cozy/homey feel about it. Pam was informative and cooperative (connected us with a neighbor who helped us with transportation to the island).

Perfect Escape

We loved our trip. Wonderful house with amazing views of the water from any place you sit or sleep. Lots of time was spent soaking up the sun on the swimming dock, and reconnecting with family in the big open living area. And we enjoyed watching the beaver munch on water lilies at supper every day!

Best Turkey Dinner ever.

My family and I ( eleven of us ) spent Thanksgiving weekend at Pam's cottage. The pictures on the website do not do it justice. This is a beautiful cottage plus an awesome rustic cottage, on 2 islands on a gorgeous lake. If we had better weather, I would think that I was in heaven. Family had a great time and the most memorable Thanksgiving weekend. Pam was great communicating and getting us all the details etc about getting to, and what to do on the island. Looking forward to coming back again someday.

What an amazing place.

My family and i just spent a week on Grape Island - Stony Lake Ontario, and the property exceeded our every expectation. The cottage is beautiful, open and has windows everywhere. Windows on top of windows and a lake view out of every single one. I seemed to relax the moment we stepped foot there. My son stayed in the 100 year old log cabin on the second island (attached by a footbridge) and he loved it! I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for the perfect getaway to a private island. I can't wait to return. I would like to thank the property owner for sharing this very intimate family space with us. Beth Leahy

Interesting island experience!

We had a nice stay at this cottage - it is a charming place and an interesting place to stay on two little islands joined by a neat footbridge. We found the lake and scenery beautiful (along with the sunsets!). The kitchen had everything we needed and the hostess was absolutely amazing about being in touch well in advance with all the information we had to know about the cottage itself. We certainly felt there was thought put into ensuring our stay was pleasant. There are lots of other cottages on the lake so it doesn't feel like you're a complete castaway and it is interesting to boat around to see island life out on Stoney Lake. Definitely an experience! :)

Lovely destination

We recently stayed on Grape Island for a week with our baby boy & small dog. The cottage is so beautiful and cozy and perfect location for a family week away. The living and dining area are very well set up for a large group or family and the kitchen is well stocked with anything you could need. The bedrooms are very comfortable. The views over the lake are stunning especially at sunrise & sunset. We look forward to going back again soon.
