The host was quick and efficient at communicating and the view was spectacular and they had all the amenities and more that you could imagine from entertaining toys and games to ketchup and mustard all the details were there fantastic stay would highly recommend
Really the most peaceful and idyllic place. Maybe not ideal for small children due to the cliffside setting, and the bed in the bunkie was less than comfortable, but perfect for a family gathering for us. I loved that there were no close neighbours, and that it was spacious and comfortable but still felt very cottage like. We will definitely go again.

We really enjoyed having Harsha and her group at our place.
They were pleasure to communicate with, asked questions when they were in doubt, and our cleaning company said they were the BEST & CLEANEST GUESTS we’ve ever had!
We loved the views, the nice dock, and the lake. Communication with our host was very smooth and they made check-in and checkout very smooth. We'd definitely stay here again!
This was the most amazing place. The views and access to the water was beyond easy. I have been coming up here for 17 years fishing with friends. This place was above and beyond any place ls we stayed. The host was so easy to work with and went above expectation. Highly recommend staying here you won't be disappointed. We plan on booking again

We were a group of adult friends and one baby, away for a winter weekend reunion. We had a wonderful stay! Cozy, great kitchen to cook in, comfortable beds. We had a couple nice walks along the frozen lake. The host was friendly and responsive.

Thank you for your kind words! We loved your friendliness, trust, and your communication skills.
We would love to host you again 😊
Four friends of 46 years met for an annual reunion at this wonderful retreat. The accommodations were terrific, the view was wonderful, the air was clean and clear, and hiking in nearby Frontenac Park was great. We really appreciated the open and friendly communications with the hosts.
The property was an excellent location to explore the Kingston area on our road trip. We found the property very homely and 7 of us (4 adults and 3 children) fitted in very comfortably. We absolutely loved the view of the lake and the wildlife viewable from the sun room was a lovely surprise. So many squirrels and birds to view on your doorstep! The hosts also left some fishing rods for us to use which led to some successful catches. The hosts were very helpful and responded quickly to any questions. All in all a delightful stay and would highly recommend. Thank you
We spent four nights out here in April. Sadly the weather didn’t cooperate for us so most of the time we were inside. This location is excellent. We enjoyed the action at the bird feeders. The cabin had everything you need and then some. Beautiful and peaceful it was just what we were looking for. There is an excellent fire pit and lots of wood. Can’t wait to return.

Thank you for your kind words, Andrew.
We are happy that you were able to enjoy your stay with us despite the weather 😊
We would love to have you back some day!
Overall property is great. If you have trouble with climbing/walking up hills, this is not the property for you. Views are fantastic, great dock for boating or swimming. Plenty of room both inside and out. Great little getaway.
Beautiful, comfortable home had everything we needed. Great views of very pretty lake. Easy communication with owners. We enjoyed using the two kayaks. Loved the firepit. Dog loved the place. If you have mobility issues the hill down to the water might be challenging. There isn't a sandy beach but we loved sitting on the Muskoka chairs on the nice big dock.
Our stay was just lovely and the views were indeed amazing! We just loved that you could see nature from every window—trees, water, & wildlife—even if the weather was inclement. The lake and property was so quiet that you could hear the fluttering of chickadee wings as they swooped in for a bite at the feeders. The dogs loved watching “nature TV” (birds, squirrels, & chipmunks at the bird feeders outside). It was just the retreat that we needed and we definitely hope to return!

About the host
Hosted by Luiza Dowling
I am a teacher, and my husband recently retired. We bought this cliffhanging, lakefront property with a stunning view, that was over our price range. We made a decision to share it with others through VRBO, and never regretted it.
Why they chose this property
Our cottage is close to Kingston with its University scene, museums & galleries, gourmet dining, great shopping & grocery stores, 3 hospitals and good medical care, just in case. Frontenac Provincial Park is a 15 minute drive. Cataraqui trail 5 minutes away. Serenity, sunset lake views, birds, wildlife. Great swimming and even better fishing! Warm lake water with not too much sea weed. Amazing camp fires and marshmallow roasting. Our property feels secluded, but we are a close knit community, and we can reach out to our neighbours anytime when we want. There are holiday fireworks on the lake, and we can buy farm eggs, local meats, breads and pastries.
What makes this property unique
