The property was beautiful, very modern and clean with lots of space. View out onto the lake, or from the dock back up to the cottage and waterfall, excellent. Would absolutely stay again.
The property was exactly as described and expected, that is to say, fantastic. It is situated in a beautiful, secluded area; very peaceful with a ton of privacy. The cottages are spacious, clean, and very well cared for. We had a truly great time here.

Thank you very much for the great response. You are welcome back any time. Morley
We had an amazing week at Pat and Morley’s place on lake Rosseau. The place was lovely and setting was perfect. Nice and private and a close walk to local amenities in Windermere. We’d definitely go back!

Rekha and her group were great renters. They were responsive and treated the cottage as if it was their own. Would recommend them and would welcome them back anytime.

Lovely stay on Lake Rosseau. Next to falls which adds a unique feel to the location. Expansive compound with separate bunkie. Basement rec area with plenty of things for the kids.
The house is a wonderful place to escape to, wish we would have had a longer stay there. Many stairs to get to water but was well worth the climb. Fished right off the dock and caught several pickeral. The sound of the waterfalls was very relaxing as well.Thankyou for letting us rent your beautiful home.
Wonderful property! Secluded, but leisurely walk to town. Delightful area of the world!! Works great by boat to get to towns around the lake.
Nice water toys provided. Our grandkids ranged from 6 to 18 and they all loved it.
I rented Pat and Morley’s cottage for my birthday weekend with a group of friends. Though there was a big snow storm, Morley made sure to keep in touch with me and ensured the driveway was plowed and safe for us before we left. Both the main cottage and bunkie were fantastic – clean and well stocked with linens and towels. The sauna was great too, would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the water!

Hannah and her group were a pleasure to have. Good communication and would definitely invite the back. Take care and stay safe. Morley
The house itself is really lovely with excellent bathrooms and really comfortable furniture. Our family enjoyed the space, the outside grill and the sauna. But the access road to the house is difficult if you don't have an SUV or some four wheel drive car, as it is gravel with steep hills and ruts. The lake was fine for fishing and our grandsons enjoyed that aspect of it very much. But the water was murky and no one went swimming.
Wonderfull spot. The cottage has everything you need for your vacation. Owners are very responsive and easy to deal with.

About the host
Hosted by Morley and Pat Sniderman
We are Pat and Morley and we have been cottagers in the Muskoka area since 1988. We love the clean water, the great fishing, the sunsets, the quiet lakes, the friendliness of the neighbours, the amenities of Muskoka and the ease of access from Toronto. We treasure the family and friend-time we spend together at the cottage and know that we are very lucky to have “a little piece of heaven” up North.
