The cottage was great for our annual friends weekend away. The cottage was clean and Tushar, the host, was very responsive. The location was also great… right on the water and very close to town if you need to grab anything. Would recommend this property for larger groups.

The pictures are beautiful but the property is even better! The location, views, layout were all ideal. We loved kayaking and swimming, watching the night sky from the dock and eatting/bbq'd on the large deck off the kitchen; Playing pool in the evening. So close to grocery stores, etc. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage!.

Great location for a family vacation!

Tushar was quick to respond to questions, the check-in was simple and the cottage was exactly as described on the site. The kitchen was well equipped and quickly became the center of activities. It was nice to have 2 kayaks to explore the bay and plenty of chairs indoor and out to enjoy our friends and family. We had a wonderful 55th anniversary week in Muskoka!

Great time in Muskoka

We rented the cottage for our family as our daughter was getting married in Gravenhurst . The owner was great to deal with . Answered my questions promptly and was helpful with a few things I had requested. Property was beautiful and we were able to get some beautiful wedding pics overlooking the lake .

Great family stay, loved the shallow entry into the water, large size of the cottage and fact there was a bathroom for almost everyone (3 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms). The cottage was clean and the owner and property manager were very responsive. My only feedback is the couches need replacing/updating as they were broken/sagging and leather was torn. But the size, west facing for the dock and cleanliness were top notch.

So glad you had a great stay. And we appreciate the feedback on the couches. They got damaged during a previous stay, and we are currently working on replacing them. Hope to have you back again in the future!

3rd summer of family time!

For 3 years in a row, we’ve enjoyed 2 weeks of wonderful family time at Red Rock cottage. So much space for the kids. Great sandy, shallow entry area for the young ones. Very close to town for groceries. And fishing off the dock makes every one happy. We’ll be back!!!

View was fantastic, close to town, plenty of room. The “game/tv” room was our favourite room, all 14 of us had a seat. Lots of washrooms. Well stocked kitchen (some things missing/not working properly - beaters and hand can opener). Disappointed that, for the high cleaning fee, we had to take our garbage with us, that’s a first!

Thank you, Barb. Glad you enjoyed the cottage. Sorry about the missing items in the kitchen. We'll get those replaced, as items seem to somehow disappear from the house from time to time. Regarding the garbage, we had to put that rule into place since some groups were leaving 12-15 bags behind after a weekend stay! We are certainly open to any suggestions of how to make the stay better for guests like your group, while discouraging other groups from leaving the place in poor condition. Please do let us know if you have any. Thanks again!

Amazing Ladies’ Weekend

Enjoyed out ladies’ weekend at this property for the second time! Great property! Peaceful mornings on the dock enjoying our morning coffee! Close to the town of Gravenhurst and all the local sites, easy to get to. Place was clean and spacious with multiple places to find your own “quiet space”. Great rec room with air hockey and pool table. Owner was a pleasure to deal with quick responses. Would recommend for a large group!

Winter Excursion

We found the house and amenities more than adequate for our family weekend getaway. Large communal spaces for relaxing, playing games or just hanging out together. Large kitchen well appointed. Bedroom configurations able to sleep multiple children/families. Located right on the lake but close to town for picking up things. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone. Upstairs den overlooking the lake at sunrise cannot be beat!!

Amazing Experience!

All places should be run like this - fro the booking experience t to the property manager. It was an incredible beautiful place to stay and on top of that the property manager was incredible to deal with. Case and point the TV Screen started to fail and was a bit choppy. i texted the property manager and he had a brand new one delivered and installed within hours. I had a large group of 13 up and every single one of them was in shock that a place like this even existed, and asked if we cold make this place our annual destination. Would re-book in a heartbeat.

Shock and disappointment

This was the 4th summer that we stayed at this cottage. We were expecting the same conditions as before. What a shock when we pulled into the driveway and saw the dock. It was so heavily covered in goose poop that I couldn’t let kids out of the car. My son had to use a SNOW shovel to get rid of the poop and then wash down the dock with water before anyone could stand on it. The next problem was the grass. It was totally covered in poop also. My son also used a sand shovel to flick the poop into a large tin bucket. It took him 2 hours to clear a path from the deck and front door to the dock. I was hoping that the inside of the cottage was still 20,000Worth of wonderful. I realize that rental homes take a beating in wear and tear. But over this winter a lot has happened. All 3 leather cottages in the lower family room need to be replaced as they are in various states of disrepair. The deck off the kitchen needs to be replaced as the wood has so many holes in it that a small child could get their foot stuck. We had many chair legs stuck. One outdoor chair has had a broken back for 3 years and it’s never been replaced.I don’t know how VRBO works, if you just rent out the places and someone else is a property manager. But over the years we have spent 70,000 to rent this once beautiful cottage for only 2 weeks of the summer and I can’t imagine how much the owner makes per year. We love this property and will keep renting if it is properly maintained.

This was the 5th year we have rented this cottage and would never go anywhere else. The lake has a shallow entry as well as a very long dock. A perfect sandy spot for little ones. It is 5 minutes from town and three minutes from ice cream. The cottage is large with lots of communal spaces, room for every one and every activity. This year the decking was new as was the dock. It is always very clean. Any problems are addressed quickly by the property management. We are ready for season #6!

Great cottage and well equipped

We stayed here with friends and our kids, total of 9, and it was great. Games room kept adult and kids occupied and interactive, large rooms and well equipped throughout. We went in the winter and were able to ski on the lake and take snowmobiles on the lake for a rides and easy access to official snowmobile trails few km's down the lake at the wharf. Nicely equipped kitchen with dual ovens, we couldn't get the broilers to work in either ovens but reported that and I'm sure they will be fixed. The stove top is little slow to cook on (radiant glass burners cycle on and off constantly ) making it longer process to cook certain meals, but other than that, great place to stay. Would have given 5 stars if not the oven broiler problem and slow cook-top which made it longer process when preparing meals for large group.

Beautiful cottage for a weekend getaway

This cottage was exactly what our group was looking for when we had a weekend getaway from the city in mind. The place provided a variety of different activities, plenty of space, fully equipped kitchen and more to help make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Jake was also extremely helpful and attentive when we had questions and required assistance throughout the visit. Would recommend for larger groups.

Amazing Cottage! Clean and Beautiful.

The cottage was so clean when we arrived! And the property is to die for - right on the lake. Wonderful big rooms and lots of room to sleep plenty. Definitely will recommend this to friends and family. The property owners were a pleasure to deal with. All services worked perfectly (WiFi, etc). No complaints here.
