2018 Summer Vacation at Healey Lake

This is the second summer vacation we have had at this cottage and we hope it becomes an annual trek! We love the cottage (it is spacious and comfortable) and the property is spectacular. This is a well-maintained and nicely appointed vacation spot. Since last year, the owners added a new water filtration system, a new dock, new dishes, an electric fireplace and new deck lounge chairs ... and we already thought it was perfect! We made use of the canoe at the cottage and rented a boat for a couple of days from Mariners Cove Marina. We had a pile of fun in the water. The fishing is great right off the dock so if you are considering this property for a vacation, bring your rod. We highly recommend this cottage.

Pictures don’t do this place justice

I can’t begin to say how much we loved this place. It truly is serene! There are no neighbours on the the whole one side of the cottage which made it feel even more secluded. There’s everything you need at the cottage. We felt we just home away from home. The view every morning is breathtaking. We couldn’t get enough! Everything is so perfectly thought out for its purpose and location. We also really enjoyed building fires. And we’re so happy we were able to bring our fur pup with us as well. Some things to keep in mind, there’s about 8 mins of dirt road to the cottage from the main road. Don’t get a car wash before or if you have a 4x4 bring that. There’s also no AC at the main unit which worked out for us since it cooled down at nights and we had the windows open but make sure to check that weeks temperature. We loved the cottage so much we’re hoping to come back again and again! Jessica was awesome at responding and helping out with anything we needed. This cottage was just perfect for us and what we were looking for. Thank you!

Amazing spot in the Wilderness

Great vacation spot on lake Healey! The property was what we expected- had all the amenities we needed, good sheets, dishes, laundry soap, diswasher tabs etc. which is great to to have to worry about on vacation. The access to the water is amazing...many different spots to choose from (beach area, rocks, dock etc.). which makes it fun for our teenagers and dog :). You have sand for a little bit and after it's lake mud but that doesn't bother us. We used the Canoe and Kayaks quite a bit to discover the lake and went to a spot that the owner recommended to us to jump from a small cliff... lot's of fun! We loved that there was a fireplace up close to the property and lounge chairs. Bedrooms were comfortable although I would recommend adding some curtains to ALL the windows/ doors for the bunkie as the sun gets up early and we don't on vacation :). It would also be great to have an additionnal fridge because with 2 adults and 4 teenagers and food for almost a week, it would be great to have a separate fridge for the drinks (just an idea!) Owner was very fast and courteous in responding to the emails. Overall amazing week and perfect spot for a family that want a relaxing vacation to the sound of the looneys in the morning!

The Perfect Spot!!

I really cannot say enough about this cottage. It is clean, well appointed, roomy and comfortable. Communication with Jessica was easy. We knew she was a quick email or phone call away if anything was to arise. Our boys and our dog loved running around the property! Kids jumping off the dock, fishing, kayaking, splashing at the beach. The cottage was hot when we opened it up, but as soon as those windows and doors are open the breeze off the water was absolutely lovely. It cooled everything right down. We were not expecting the bunkies by the water to be two separate rooms. With our two boys I was not sure at first, but they loved having their own private rooms! There is a pull out double couch in the main cottage for younger ones. Lots of room! Loons calling in the bay, beautiful sunsets, gorgeous pines, Canadian Shield on display. But if you can say up for it, watch that sky at night - WOW - the stars and that Mikly Way in all it's glory!! Everything Muskoka has to offer! We will definitely be back! Thank-you!!

Beautiful quiet location, stunning sunset and night sky!!

Extremely well looked after, love the fact you can drink the water straight from the tap. They have a outstanding filtration system, no need to drag in bottled water. Great deck, excellent BBQ dishwasher and laundry. All in all a very well maintained and equipped location!!!

Clean and well maintained, beautiful view!

We had a great week in September to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary, thanks to our family. The cottage is in a beautiful location with easy access to the water. Small sandy beach that provided a great place for our young granddaughter to wade out. Mactier is close by for groceries and supplies at the Foodland and Home Hardware and has a LCBO which is also convenient. I caught a 4lb Northern Pike while fishing from the dock!! Tree colours we're just starting to change. Thank you to Adam and Jessica.

Fantastic Muskoka Vacation

We rented the McCabe's cottage from August 11-18, 2017. We had a fantastic vacation there. The cottage is completely charming and comfortable and the property is gorgeous. Everything we wanted in a vacation spot was there - the use of a canoe for early morning fishing trips, lovely outdoor seating areas, great deck seating and BBQ, life jackets and pool noodles for lots of water activity, and a well-equipped kitchen. We simply loved this place and recommend it highly to anyone looking for a great getaway location.

Great cottage on a quiet lake

We stayed a week at the cottage. It was perfect for us. We had some friends and family join us and there was lots of room for 8 people. The cottage is on a beautiful piece of land with many areas you can walk into the water. We used the canoe and kayaks every day we were there. Our dog loved playing on the rocks and in the water. A short drive to mactier which has everything you would need for your stay - foodland, lcbo, home hardware. Lots of different sitting areas around the cottage deck and throughout the property. Owners were quick to deal with any problems that arose during our stay - handy having their family next door.

A great find !

We all quickly fell in love with this amazing place. A beautiful and comfortable cottage, a perfect location, privacy, quiet most of the time, modern appliances, comfortable beds, clean, and, bonus of all bonuses, dogs welcomed! The first clue that we had hit a jackpot came when our three-year-old spaniel madly ran around the property for 5 minutes when we arrived… like he had found heavens. We were 4 adults, one child, and the spaniel, and we had plenty of space, in or outside of the buildings. Two sides of the cottage face the lake and both sides have a deck - which are connected. The deck closest to the kitchen has a large wooden table that will comfortably sit 6 people, with a great Napoleon BBQ. The deck off the living / dining room has a smaller breakfast table and lounging chairs, and there are other loungers and Muskoka chairs on the property. Our 8-year-old granddaughter had a blast exploring the site, playing on the dock, catching (and releasing) minnows and frogs, kayaking (BYO PFD for proper fit), or in the water with everyone else. Our 81 year old mother needed help to walk around the property as it is not flat, but she did go in the water every day. Cyclists will need a touring bike for the gravel road – as I did, (I made it up the hill going out!) or, drive out to the paved roads with your road bike and ride Healey Lake road to Georgian Bay. There is a tennis court near the marina close by if tennis is your thing, but we never used it so enquire first – there may be a fee. The owners are very friendly, easy going, accommodating, and, pay attention to details, right down to the flower beds on the property. They obviously love this place - and so did we.

Hidden gem

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This beautiful cottage met all of our expectations: private (the kids loved exploring the little bay in kayaks and fishing in it's undisturbed waters), the truely lovely Muskoka landscape, the rustic yet clean cabin, and the little beach. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
