A hidden gem in the muskokas
This property is a great value for all the amenities you get. Phil has done a great job of creating an inviting environment where you can escape your day to day and just relax. The cottage comes equipped with everything you could possibly need (and board games for rainy days!). My fiance and I had an awesome time at this property relaxing, cooking smores by the fire and kayaking around long lake. Would stay again in a heart beat!!

Best disconnect ever
The house, property, and location exceeded our expectations. Phil was very responsive and so helpful! The house had everything we needed and was perfect for our family of 4! Our two littles had no issues with the stairs (5&2) and we all slept great in the loft. Beds were very comfortable and overall the home is so cozy. Can’t wait to come back!

Very cozy cabin on the lake. Nice bbq area and dock. Pictures are bang on. The host is very attentive and quick to answer any questions. Would have been nice to have cable tv but not the end of the world. The only thing we weren’t thrilled with is that if you are not fond of stairs you may not like the loft area staircase leading to the bedroom. It is a bit steep. Other than that it’s a beautiful place to relax and unwind.

A Perfect Hidden Secret
Fell in love with this Secret Gem from the moment we arrived. So comfy and welcoming. The cottage itself was lovely and well maintained. And if that was not enough you walk outside to the most incredible view of the lake. Then to enjoy the view even further we sat on the dock and enjoyed the amazing reflection of the autumn leaves colours and sun bouncing off the water. A perfect spot to enjoy some drinks and listen to music. I can see why they call it their little secret, it’s a special place to us! Philip and Claudia were great host.

Bala’s Little Secret
We were pleasantly surprised with our little cottage. It was just 2 of us and a dog. We had company stay one night and we were all comfortable. Cottage is well appointed with everything you need. Great waterfront and nice swimming So close to Bala (we walked one day) Port Carling, Gravenhurst. Totally happy. Philip and Claudia are great hosts. Very attentive and easy to get a hold of. We would rent again.

Bala's little secret
Great location and super property on downside would be it is between 2 rentals which are large and one of which is a shared property. We had great families so wasn't an issue but it could have been.
Property owner is very available and great to deal with.
Be aware there is a ladder staircase to the loft space so if you have mobility issues not the property for you but listing shows this.
The fire table on the large front porch overlooking the water is just delightful and really added to our overall enjoyment of the property.
Lots of water toys at your disposal.

Hi Susan, thank you for the review and we're glad you enjoyed your time at the cottage.
Just to clarify a few points to other potential guests that may read this review:
a) nothing is shared between the 2 cottages. Each has it's own dock, firepit, porch, water toys, access and parking. Cottages are side by side with approx. 50ft between each dock and each firepit.
b)access to the loft is not a ladder. It is a staircase however it is a bit steep when compared to a regular staircase and may pose a bit of a challenge if a guest has mobility issues. Then again even a regular staircase may pose issues is mobility is a concern. Just in case, the main floor futon can be used as a bed.

Lakeside Retreat
Had a great stay at Philip's cabin! Amazing location in cottage country with lakeside access.
Had a great time hanging out by the fire pit and going kayaking on the lake. The kayaks were complementary!
There was power outage with the broader grid while we were there (which was completely outside their control) but the hosts were very responsive to our messages and calls.
Note this is one of two dwellings on his lakeside property. This is the cozy cabin and the other is the main house. You might get other guests in the adjacent main house and the backyards of both dwellings both bleed into each other as they lead into the lake. There is a separate fire pit and kayaks for this cabin and the main house has their own.

Cabin is just fine
- first of all it is a cabin, not a cottage
- internet connection it terribly slow and unreliable. You probably can check weather or do text chat, but nothing more.
- all beds are in the same room, so adults will not have any private space
- loft smells, most probably it is a smell of mice feces (I grown up in a country side, I know smells)
- expect additional charge on top of all VRBO charges

Thank you Dmitry for your review.
I did go thru the trouble of googling the difference between a cabin and a cottage and this property is far from being a cabin. Cabins do not offer amenities such as a bathroom, water and electricity to name a few and are located in the middle of the woods.
As for the bedroom layout, the listing shows a 1 bedroom loft with the 3 beds so I'm not sure where the misunderstanding came from.
The listing also warns about the internet speed, "Please note internet is not always reliable in cottage country". There are times where the service is slow and unreliable but unfortunately for now Bell is not willing to upgrade the service in the Bala area.
In regards to the smell, that is not something I had noticed but I will look into it and resolve if needed.
Thank you for the feedback, Philip

No privacy! Non-stop noise. Book somewhere else.
If you expect peace and quiet at this cottage, that’s apparently your mistake—at least according to the owner, who implied it was my fault for not asking for it when I booked. The photos look serene, but they omit the giant cottage sharing the same property just feet away, packed with 16 people, crying babies, and screaming toddlers screaming. Privacy? None. Silence? I’m not the only one. Read the reviews people have complained about the lack of privacy for over 10 years. It was my fault for not reading the reviews prior to booking. Don’t make my mistake.

Nice getaway
Overall good place to stay.
Directions and check in were spot on. Cabin was clean and well appointed.
The cabin is small. And the staircase is a bit steep and narrow.
We went at the end of September and the lake was quiet and peaceful. Nice dock, nice fire pit and a nice deck with glass rail for a great view. All the cottages on this lake are close together so in high season I would think it might be busy. It is close to town and easy to walk in for essentials or a meal. Bathroom with shower were recently renovated very nicely.

It is truly a beautiful getaway. A home away from home with all the conveniences.
An excellent family cottage. For me personally, I stayed on the first floor as I have knee issues and the angle of the loft stairs may have been a challenge. The pullout futon on the first floor was surprisingly very comfortable. The bathroom and shower was 1st rate. A complete kitchen which was fully equipped with all the appliances. Communication with the owner was immediate and responsive. This is a cozy, homie cottage with a lovely little beach and dock to launch a kayak and sit and take in a sunset. Will go back!

Thank you Nicole for the great review.
To others that may be reading this review, the property is 200ft wide and is divided approximately down the middle (60/40) with a driveway to its own private boat launch. The 2 cottages are on either side of the driveway (approx 30-40ft apart) and both have their own dock which are also 30-40ft apart. They are also offset from each other, this cottage being much closer to the shoreline. The only area being shared is the driveway. As for seclution, unfortunately there is no longer much of that in the Muskokas. For complete seclution you would have to drive another hour further north.

Magnifique!
This a an amazing little spot. The cottage is so cute and cozy, and the little electric fireplace makes for a sweet atmosphere when the nights are a bit chilly. The kitchen is very well equipped, the beds are super comfy, the bathroom is surprisingly big and the shower is really cool! Outside, the little deck is perfect for a nice candlelight dinner (they provide lots of “Off” for the mosquitos), you can also lounge in the hammock, or sit by the nice firepit, but the dock is the star of the show. Yes, it is perfect for a glass of wine while gazing at the unbelievably beautiful lake, or for hours of reading and writing (which I did). Note that the neighbours are pretty close on each side, so it can get a bit noisy (depending on your neighbours) but the cottage in itself is just fantastic and the lake view is so breathtaking, it is worth it. A huge thanks to the owners for such a sweet, cozy and amazing place
