Our extended family of eight (including 2 teens and a toddler) had a fabulous stay. The cottage and bunkie were beautifully appointed and had everything we needed and even things we didn’t know we needed! We really enjoyed the lake access, and took advantage of the spacious dock, kayaks, paddle board and paddle boat! There were lots of outdoor seating areas as well. We even enjoyed the gazebo for a games night one evening. Ron and Joanne were excellent hosts always available to answer questions.

The cottage and bunkie are fabulous. Everything we could think of was there, and the place was spotless. The decor is beautiful as well. The hosts are very kind and communicative. They know and love the area, and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. There were lots of sitting areas outside and in for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves. We had a lot of fun kayaking, canoeing and fishing off of the dock. Wonderful cottage vacation.

Joanne and Ron were excellent hosts. They did an amazing job on the renovation down to the smallest detail. The bunkhouse was fantastic and our teenage boys loved it. We brought our boat with us and the floating dock accommodated nicely in the quiet calm cove. When we first arrived we thought our GPS was leading us astray, but once you pull into the driveway and walk down the steps you will be in awe. Thank you to the hosts for sharing this wonderful cottage, we truly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you very much Justin. We feel like we have a hidden gem and agree that the drive in makes you question the GPS. The meandering drive along our cottage road is surrounded by forest and wetlands before finding our driveway. We had the same feeling the first time we drove in many years ago! We're glad that you and your family enjoyed the water and hope the fish were biting. Thank you for your kind words about our cottage. It has been our pleasure hosting your group and hope you'll be back again.

Everything was seamless! Nothing was forgotten from the heated towel rack in the bathroom to the coffee pods in the cupboard! One tiny suggestion mainly geared to us. In one of the bedrooms I would remove one of the side shelves in order to accommodate queen size bed against the wall. My husband and I aren’t big people and we found a double a little tight so as a result we had to use the bunkie. Thanks for the shout out on how we left the cottage. I believe you should leave it as close as you got….spotless!

Thank you so much! We do try to think of the conveniences of home for our cottage. Our experiences staying in B & B's have given us some ideas that we had to incorporate into our own. The double beds in the cottage bedrooms allow just enough space for guests to comfortably manoeuvre around them. Unfortunately queen beds wouldn't. The Bunkie bedroom space has been used as the parental suite by some of our previous guests. I know that this doesn't work for families with younger children that you'd need to be in the same building. We hope you'll think of us when you are looking for a family vacation spot next year.

What a little slice of heaven! If this cottage doesn’t have it, you probably don’t need it. Everything was clean, well stocked and felt like home away from home! Excellent hosts and top notch accommodations. Our highlights were fishing off the dock and watching the kids catch bass, bluegill and perch, kayaking and canoeing the little cove, and touring the waterway on our fishing boat! If you bring your own boat, make sure to grab lunch at the Waubac, located between Swift Rapids lock and Big Chute! If you want a family friendly place on the Trent Severn Waterway, look no further. Such a beautiful location

Heron’s Landing was a perfect spot for our family vacation. We love to kayak and SUP and this quiet bay is out of the main channel / river traffic. The BEST view of the bay from the dock facing SE you are not blocked by other docks… just stretch your eyes across natural beauty. You are close to other cottages but there are SO many wonderful places to sit and enjoy you hardly notice. The cottage and bunkie were spotless with everything you need to relax and cook up a storm. The bunkie was like a 2nd cottage for teens to chill in. Our host was very responsive and willing to help make our stay perfect. We all enjoyed swimming and jumping off the dock. Not too deep so if you wanted a clear stretch to swim laps, just take the SUP out into the bay. 2 fire pits too! I will miss my hummingbird friends.

It was a pleasure having your family at the cottage. The boys definitely made the most of the water. We love hearing how much our guests enjoy and appreciate all of the fun cottage spaces and beautiful views. It really is a special place. The hummingbirds will miss you too! You're welcome to visit again anytime.

Joanne and Ron were wonderful hosts. They were always available, welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a fantastic week.The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated and incredibly well equipped. It truly had every amenity we could have asked for, along with so many thoughtful extras. We brought our own boat and spent most days exploring Sparrow Lake and the Trent-Severn Waterway. There is so much beautiful boating in the area.When we weren’t out on the boat, we enjoyed relaxing on the dock, paddleboarding and taking the pedal boat around the bay. One of the highlights of our stay was all the wildlife. Different families of ducks visited the bay every morning and afternoon, and one morning, a heron stayed with us for more than 20 minutes. Although we brought some of our own water toys, the cottage has everything you need to get out on the water and enjoy the bay.The bunkie was also a wonderful bonus and gave us plenty of additional sleeping space.It was a beautiful place for our family to spend the week. Thank you Joanne and Ron!

Thank you Bonnie. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We have tried to think of everything to make our guests experience at the cottage one to remember and it truly is nature that leaves the biggest impression on everyone who has visited. Thanks again for your kind words, Joanne & Ron

Heron’s Landing exceeded every expectation and is, without question, a 10/10 experience. The cottage is absolutely pristine—beautifully renovated, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly well-appointed. Every detail has been considered, and it truly felt like the hosts anticipated everything a guest could possibly need.The setting on the lake is breathtaking. The dock is stunning, and we spent 90% of our vacation there swimming, relaxing, and taking in the views. It was the highlight of our stay.Ron and Joanne were phenomenal hosts. Their communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were genuinely kind and welcoming. We rented jet skis and an aluminum fishing boat, and Ron went above and beyond by bringing us lake maps and helping us navigate the area, including recommending safe routes for our teenagers to explore. That personal touch made such a difference.We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cottage or better hosts. If you’re looking for a beautiful, relaxing getaway with exceptional hospitality, Heron’s Landing is it. We can’t wait to come back!

Thank you so much Stacey. It is families like yours that confirm our decision to share our little piece of Muskoka magic was the right one. We enjoy hearing about your time spent relaxing and playing at the cottage with loved ones. We have a new family with young ducklings this week that asked me to say hello! We look forward to your return next summer.
