We always have a wonderful time staying at this clean, well kept cottage on beautiful Grass Lake. It's nice to spend time sitting on the dock at the shoreline. There is always plenty of firewood for evening fires. The new fridge is nice and big. The friendly host does a great job communicating. Will definitely book again next year.

Beautiful cottage

The perfect size for a family or couple with an amazing view and beautiful lake to enjoy. I'd definitely stay there again. But make sure you download offline directions, getting there was reasonably easy but data and networks could be patchy. WiFi included at the cottage.

Amazing cottage rental!

This property was perfect! It had all the amenities we required. The lake was quiet, excellent swimming, and beautiful sunsets. The host was phenomenal. Most importantly, our dogs had a blast! Will definitely book again if the host will have us!

The Perfect Getaway

If you’re looking for a lakefront cottage for a small group of friends or family - this is the place. It’s better than the photos in the listing - beautiful view with a fire pit, kayaks & canoes for visitor use, and a lovely cottage with lots of windows for natural light and a view at every angle. Thank you Brian for a great weekend away. We’ll definitely be back!

Great week of relaxation!

My husband and I just returned from a great week at Grass Lake. The cottage itself is the perfect size for a couple or small family. Everything was clean and organized when we arrived - everything you could possibly need is made available to you! The lake itself is so clean, so quiet and so peaceful. We had a great time out on our kayaks fishing every day! Would be happy to return again next year... Thank you Bryan and family for giving us such a lovely place to vacation!

Needs a update all around

We enjoyed the beautiful view and location on the water.But thought the cabin could use some comfortable and updated coach and mattress and at times air-conditioning would have been nice.Will stick to are USA cabins so much more for the price.

Big bass!!

House was nice and clean. Has everything you need. The grill gave food a good taste. Lakefront with a dock and kayaks/canoe. There is a ton of big bass in the lake. They say there is trout also but have to troll on a boat to catch. The backcountry of Algonquin State Park near Tim River is about 30 minutes away. It is pretty secluded back there. I was surprised by how many restaurants were in Kearney (nearby town). DJ’s restaurant has very good food and service.

Pleasant quiet week

Swimming was good although had to walk in, no diving. Saw and heard a loon family every day. Nice touch to have firewood ready for us to have a little bonfire. Everything worked as it should. One small item to note is to bring sheets for a queen sized bed in the main bedroom (not double). There is a twin over double bunk bed in the other bedroom.

Quality time

We really enjoyed going to this property, it’s a beautiful area and it was quite peaceful during the week we stayed. We kayaked and visited Algonquin Park, did a lot of hiking with our dog. It was just what we needed.

Winter wonderland

What a beautiful place to visit. Definitely recommend staying in February as the view from the cottage of the frozen lake was fantastic. I have never visited somewhere so peaceful with no neighbours around ( may be less peaceful in the summer). Great combination of being able to cosy up in the living room watching the birds on the bird feeder with the lake in the background and being active. Outside we went snowshoeing on the lake and on the cottage's private acerage/ Crown Land across the road ( access through the green gate). You make your own trail so this was tough going in the thick snow but great exercise. Cottage was very clean, warm and bigger than I expected. Added bonus was being able to take our dogs. We even managed to have a beer on the frozen dock watching the sun set. Thanks Bryan for the relaxing visit just what we needed.

It was the perfect location to getaway, unplug and recharge. And the snow made it a magical retreat from the city. So peaceful.
