I would recommend buying a pairing knife and detergent onsite. Garbage disposal was an inconvenience. Tapestry would help with sound absorption. And an instruction book or sheet would be nice. These are small things. Otherwise we had a great stay. Clean comfortable and great hosts. Thanks for everything!

Thank you for your review. I would recommend reading the house rules carefully before booking, as they clearly state that guests are required to take their garbage with them upon departure. If this arrangement is inconvenient, our property may simply not be the right fit. As for the kitchen supplies, we do provide dish soap, all-purpose cleaner, laundry detergent, and other essentials. Guests are welcome to open the drawers and cupboards to find the supplies provided. We’re glad you otherwise enjoyed your stay, found the home clean and comfortable, and were able to enjoy the convenience of several extra hours in the morning with a complimentary late checkout.

The house was even better than the pictures showed. Our family of 13 had plenty of room indoors and outdoors. The fire pit was wonderful for a bonfire and smores almost every night. Being from a Finish background our family loved the wood burning sauna every evening. The host was available anytime to answer questions and was very prompt and friendly.

Amazing cottage

Overall would recommend this cottage and rebook. Theres a ton of space for activities inside the cottage and it was very clean and comfortable. Communication with the owners was so easy. The cottage is about 15 min away from the community and is very easily accessible. There are no real beaches nearby but there is a little park with sand and water access.Would give it a 4.7 overall. If the cottage had access to the water from the property and we didnt have to take our own garbage id give it a 5/5.

Family Vacation

We were a family of 14 getting together for the first time in quite a few years. This property was perfect, it had the space, the bedrooms and the entertainment room in the basement. The owner was very accommodating with any requests. Great property for larger groups. Highly recommended.

Lots of room

Clean and comfortable. Lots of room for all 13 of us. Mattresses on beds were all firm. Some of our group were use to softer mattresses. So this was an issue for a few people. We enjoyed our stay there and would be glad to come back!

Wonderful break!

The property and the surroundings are fabulous! We were the party of 15, celebrating serious milestone birthday. We felt like kids having pool and table-tennis tournament, enjoyed hiking in the neighboring provincial park, loved the walk to the marina (did not remember its name!) and overall had a great time! We definitely want to come back!

Nice place for a little getaway

Our group enjoyed our time at this property. It is very clean and there are lots of bedrooms for a large group. Our group really enjoyed the activities in the basement and the firepit. It isn't on the water which was unfortunate because we went during a hot summer weekend but there is a very small little lake beach a few minutes by car down the road. There are other larger beaches too but it little further away (15-20mins). The only real complaints from the group was that had no access to the thermostat but Milana was quick to make changes for us quickly. The rental process was so easy with Milana. She was quick to answer all of our questions.

This property is beautiful !!

My family rented out this cottage for their friends and relatives for my wedding weekend! They loved it and had a wonderful stay. Lovely and extremely spacious cottage in Muskoka not to far from Hardy Lane provincial park great for hikes! Very convenient for us to shop for groceries in town only 10 mins away. Thanks Milana for your hospitality and for being super available in case we needed her. Definitely recommend renting ! Thanks again
