We had a fantastic time at this amazing cottage in the most beautiful location. The host was very helpful, sending us detailed instructions and was very responsive. We had a great time swimming and fishing off of the massive dock. And the panoramic views and amazing sunsets are unforgettable.

Spent a week at this wonderful property. Ideally located near the marina and a free boat launch. The home included a private dock so we could readily launch for a day of fishing or simply fish from the dock, which was good. The home was well appointed and clean. The master on the main included a very comfortable bed. The two upstairs bedrooms were good sized and comfortable as well. Evening sunsets from the living room, patio and dock were beautiful. Christine was a wonderful host and quick to answer any questions. The neighbors were delightful and quick to offer advice on restaurants and activities in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend this property for anyone seeking a comfortable and memorable stay.

The cottage and outdoor spaces are even more beautiful than the pictures. It’s clean and very comfortable. Everything you need is there too. I would only advise anyone with mobility issues to consider that it is an uneven and sometimes slippery rock surface to make your way to the dock. It is not steep and it’s a very short distance and so it was no problem for anyone in our family. My mom who is 79 with arthritis and balance issues wouldn’t have been able to do it though. We loved the location on Georgian Bay for exploring by boat. We had an amazing vacation here and we’d highly recommend booking this cottage!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Little Big Rock cottage. "Quiet, clean, comfortable, and the owner was very accommodating," said my husband when asked what he thought of our stay. And for my part, I'd like to add: beautiful inside and out.

Family Vacation

It was a lovely cottage to spend 8 nights with our family at... very comfortable. We missed not having AC for getting to sleep most nights but it did cool down quite nicely overnight. Loved the large dining table on the deck for enjoying all of our dinners and taking in the sunsets Beautiful. Great marina and public boat launch near by to get the water toys in.

Luxurious cottage

True to photos and description, this cottage exceeded our expectations. The hot tub and sunny deck provided space to unwind and enjoy the view. A trip up to the Moon River Falls was a lovely spot for a picnic. Recommend bringing your own water as the well water does have a sulphuric taste.

Very nice mid-Sept visit

The cottage is comfortable, spacious, and well equipped. The lake, dock, deck chairs, and hot tub were nice places to view the sunsets. The kitchen is ideal for any coffee addict, and there were plenty of cooking utensils, plus the knives were sharp. Shopping for food/wine was handy in Mactier, which was 25 min drive away.

Great trip at a fantastic property

Christine's cottage/home is absolutely beautiful. Our family boys fishing trip couldn't have been better. The Woods Bay area of Georgian Bay has some of the best fishing in Ontario and coming back to the beautiful and luxury accommodations that this property provides was a welcome treat after a long day on the water. We will be back in the future for sure and highly recommend this property to anyone interested. You won't be disappointed!

Fishing trip

Great location , close to fuel dock . Great dock to protect the boat overnight . Bring at least 300 feet of electric cord to reach the power plug to recharge boat batteries . Great deep water access - great fishing - plenty of room to turn the boat around and store the trailer . A bit tight getting back to the house - would recommend dropping your boat off at moon river marina before check in — overall great place and location !! We had a 1875 lund impact boat

Where to begin - I promised my family I would give this listing a "10/10 - Would stay again - 2 thumbs up" review. From my first inquiry thru to our last day, everything about this home was perfect. The pictures are 100% accurate. Spacious, clean, and fully stocked - this home was perfect for our family reunion. Between the two living rooms, dining room, and multiple outdoor decks, there is ample room to move about for indoor and outdoor relaxation. We enjoyed the the bracing fresh water swims off the deck. All the beds and pillows were super-comfy with plenty of fresh linens and extra towels for both bathrooms. The large capacity washer/dryer was a bonus. The kitchen was top-notch, well stocked for everything to make our family meals. The beverage fridge was a boon for after-paddling/swimming deck time. Christine's home is fully equipped for entertainment and making memories. Thank you so, so much for sharing your home. We hope to come back soon.

Nice cottage but not ideal

Cottage was quite nice and comes well equipped. Lights and so on are controlled by Alexa. Although this sounds great, my technological abilities weren't up to the task - a reflection of age no doubt. The rocks down to the dock are quite treacherous when wet, so not good for elderly or anyone with mobility challenges. Even my athletic 30 year old son slipped! You need a boat of some sort if you're going to stay here. Although the water is drinkable, it does have a bit of a smell and taste. So bring drinking water. One slight annoyance is that although the cottage is listed as having a hot tub, this comes with an extra charge which we only realized after arrival. I found the extra costs for guests and pets unusual and leaving a bad initial impression. Also, check in time is late at 5 pm and check-out at 10 am. Why? So overall, a nice cottage, OK, but not great.

Hi, I’m sorry to hear your comments and surprised at your review especially considering I gave you a discount as I didn’t charge for the all the guests you had come during your stay. Furthermore you brought a pet along but never mentioned it and certainly didn’t pay the fee for the additional cleanup we have to do. As for the hot tub it is free and was available to you. We go out of our way to ensure our guests are comfortable and have everything they need to make their stay a memorable one so it’s upsetting to get a poor review like yours.
