Beautiful property. Absolutely loved our stay. There are multiple spaces for socializing and everything you need is there. The swimming is good as well, and we spent a lot of time on the dock. The only downside is the train which passes by fairly infrequently, but can be a surprise the first time you see/hear it. The location is great for the Muskokas - close to amenities, restaurants and the Kee. Would definitely come back.

Property is idyllic. Just as shown on VRBO. Active train is no joke, it runs frequently and is loud, even overnight, we got used to it somewhat. Some items were missing, no dishwasher pods or firewood, and I feel there could be more and better indoor towels for use. We struggled a bit with getting the check in details, but the host was very receptive and it all worked out. The cottage/home is stunning, on a quiet bay. Kitchen and bathrooms stocked very well. We had a wonderful family vacation with our adult kids and would definitely book this property again.
