Beautiful Lakehouse!We fell in love with it instantly, it was exactly as described. Peaceful, private setting deep in cottage country but easy access to town if you need it. Quiet. Our plan for the 4 days was to just chill and hide out and that was easily accommodated with the setup of The Lakehouse.The first thing we noticed was how clean it was and how well appointed. Everything you could need is available - the kitchen is well stocked, as are the towels and pillows. There were so many beds, though we only needed 3 this time. The fire pit was perfect for roasting smores while looking out onto the water. Loved all the loons we could see and hear. The dock, the deck, the water toys were fantastic and we made good use of them while the weather cooperated. When it rained, we appreciated the large dining table to play games, and the TV to watch the Jays. Excellent communication with Patrick and a comprehensive info binder was available for any questions we might have had.Best getaway we've had in a while for 2 adults and our 2 almost-adult sons. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

Beautiful lakefront property. Wonderful dock with easy water access. The cottage itself is lovely and very well maintained.The downside was the number of stairs from the parking area to the bedroom level, then more stairs to the living area and more stairs to the water. Given all the rain that we had the driveway which is very steep became unstable. One of our luncheon guests had to call CAA. and be pulled out out of the parking area. I was able to borrow rakes and a shovel to repair the grooves that developed in the wet driveway material. This beautiful cottage and lakefront will unfortunately present challenges for the elderly and the disabled. Owner very responsive when made aware of the driveway difficulties.

A very pleasant surprise

One of the best cottages on the muskokas, perfect for a group of adults or for two families. The place came very well prepared and stocked which made the experience incredibly pleasant. The dock especially is really nice and enjoyable.

Canada Day Long Weekend

Had a wonderful stay over the long weekend with our friends. The cottage was clean and included everything we needed for our stay. We spent most of our time on the beautiful dock, taking in the peaceful atmosphere. We also took advantage of the kayak, standup paddle board and paddleboat that were included.

We had a great stay and really enjoyed the property, the cottage and the Baysville and Dorset areas. My kids loved playing in the shallow water with sandy bottom and using all the water toys provided. There are life jackets of all sizes, lots of tubes and floaties, a floating volleyball net, a huge floating island, a pedal boat, one adult and one kid kayak, and a stand up paddle board. The swimming is great off the dock and the water was so warm! The kitchen is well stocked and the cottage is nicely decorated, clean and well cared for. The host is extremely responsive, helpful and nice! Thank you Patrick and family for the great stay!

Friends getaway

My husband and I took our teenage kids and some of their friends for a short summer getaway. We selected this property for it's location and for the bedroom setup. Having 4 kids sleeping in each bedroom was ideal for us. The house was exactly as described. It was very clean and was well equipped. The water toys were a big plus as there was something for everyone to enjoy. The host was very responsive. Would definitely recommend and would consider coming here again.

Beautiful cottage

The cottage/property are beautiful. Make sure you are prepared as it's on the side of a steep hill so it has plenty of stairs to be walking up and down and the laneway is on a big hill as well. That is the only thing that took me by surprise. Otherwise, everything was absolutely beautiful and a fantastic family getaway. Our son who is 6 years old even learned how to kayak with his big sister and cousin

Just the perfect family cottage on a nicely sized lake. We brought the boat, the lake is amazing for tubing and watersports. The cottage itself was awesome, the kitchen is well equipped and beautifully redesigned. The main floor is cozy and worked really well for our family, the weather was perfect, so we didn't use it much, but it was ideal for what we needed. The bedroom situation was also epic. With us and 6 kids between the ages of 4&19, the bunk room (6 beds) and the room at the front (3 beds) were perfect. Opening all the windows upstairs is a must! We had great weather, so had a nice cool breeze flowing through the house, but it's nicely shaded, so I imagine the breeze would always be nice. The water equipment/toys/boats were a great addition to the cottage, we utilized pretty much everything. Our toddler loved playing at the little beach, and we felt super comfortable with her playing in the shallow water as the dock/floating island contains the area nicely. The fire pit is also amazing, looking out over the lake, with the sunset in the background, it was a great way to wind down each night. Having the fire wood on sight was also a huge plus! Communication with the hosts was easy and they were very responsive! There is a pair of loons on the lake as well, which was a nice Canadian bonus!
These guys will come visit you at the fire! Also they will check out your recycling, just making sure you're sorting properly!

About the host

Hosted by Patrick & Ashley

Host profile image
The "cottage life" is something we've cherished and enjoyed for many years growing up, and now that we finally have a cottage of our own, we want to share it with you and your families.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage offers the peace and quite that one looks for when heading north to be on a lake. Together with a large firepit, wrap around deck with large windows and glass railings - you can see the gorgeous lake from all vantage points. Our lake is crystal clear and does not have a lot of boat traffic. The neighbouring cottages are far enough away that you have the privacy and tranquility that you expect in a lake house getaway. Our cottage is well maintained and we've done our best to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. All that we ask is that you treat our lake house as it if it was your own.

What makes this property unique

The sandy entry into the lake, makes it a great experience for little kids to swim and play both in and out of the water. Enjoy the kayak, paddle board and paddle boat during your stay and for those who love to fish, there are ample small mouth bass, sunfish and some perch to be caught right off the dock at both dusk and dawn.
