Welcoming host and very well equipped house. The layout is very accommodating and cozy. We spent a winter weekend here and it was a perfect getaway. Bonus that it’s still close to the city and you have access to uber eats etc. Would love to stay hear to experience the summer!

The property was so nice we had a tough time leaving to do anything else. Between the sauna, hot tub, fire pit, and sunset views from the dock we felt like our nights couldn’t have been better. Also, inside was very clean and had all the amenities you could need. We never felt cramped for space and the beds were very comfortable. Additionally, Curtis was kind and quick to reply with any question we had. Me and the whole group give a 10/10 and would recommend to anyone.

The property was perfect for our group of 4 couples, who were celebrating the 70th birthday of one of our members by cycling the Simcoe County Loop Trail. After a long day of riding, it was great to relax on the beautiful deck while watching kite surfers and wing foil riders on the lake.Curtis was a terrific and attentive host who went out of his way to help solve a logistical issue we encountered.

A great location and very well equipped. We enjoyed the deck, yard and view. It was a perfect environment for a pre-wedding BBQ for our extended family. I just wish that we had booked an extra day or two so we could enjoy the hot tub.Thank you!

Superb Location, Accommodation and Host!

Size matters. Great size for family or friends to gather in luxury and enjoy the lake and scenery outdoors, along with Barrie activities. Curtis was incredibly responsive and the view is to DIE for! The hot tub is huge and extremely clean, with cool lights at night. Sauna, what a luxury! Great fluffy towels provided. Nice touch of a bar fridge for your "adult bevvies". Kitchen is very well stocked. I will definitely be booking this gem again!

Close to everything

We stayed a night to celebrate a birthday in Barrie. The house was perfect for a small group of well behaved kids. They loved the water and layout of the home, plus being right beside a proper beach and big playground. The area was quiet during the day and evening which was surprising and the landscape view from the balcony and backyard were beautiful. Curtis was a great host and assisted with any questions we had. The house has just about everything we needed for a fun and memorable stay. We would definitely come back again.

We had a fantastic weekend at Curtis’s place in Barrie while attending my niece's wedding. The home was clean, spacious, and exactly as described on the website. It had everything we needed: from a well-equipped kitchen to plenty of fresh towels and linens.When we first arrived, the house was a bit chilly and we noticed a few small flying bugs. After reaching out to Curtis, he responded right away with helpful solutions and even sent us a few YouTube videos explaining how to manage the seasonal bugs. His quick response and thoughtful guidance made all the difference for everything to be resolved smoothly.The location was perfect, with a beautiful view of the lake, making our stay even more enjoyable. Our family had a wonderful time together and created memories that will last a lifetime.Thank you, Curtis, for being such a responsive and caring host. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the Barrie area!Sincerely, Kat.

Great Family Getaway

What can I say? Book it! It's an amazing property. Clean and fully equipped for a comfortable stay. Little note: the house has a cozy barrel chair with a spectacular view of the lake- best morning coffee spot. The dock is great and the water is clean. The lake was pretty active with boating, parasailing, paddle boarding, etc. There is beach park close by with extra parking and a play ground for the kids. 3 mins away, a little shop with vintage knick knacks and ice cream. Overall, great place to relax, spend time with family/friends and enjoy the water.
