Family Celebrations

We were in Bracebridge to celebrate our son’s wedding and the Paddle House was just perfect. We particularly enjoyed being on the river and loved the dock and availed of all the water equipment. Peter was a great host and dealt with any questions that we had very promptly, We were sad leaving and hope to come back in the future.

Family stay

This property was as advertised and the host made sure we had everything that we needed. Disappointed no chairs on the dock all chairs up by the fire pit and too many stairs to take the chairs down. All the outdoor toys were throughly enjoyed by all age groups. Would consider returning to this Vrbo.

Muskoka Paddle House

We spent a week at the Muskoka Paddle House, and we really enjoyed our stay. The Muskoka region is one of the most gorgeous areas in Canada, and this house has a beautiful view of the river. The BBQ and large open kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals, and the living and dining spaces were spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed using the canoe and exploring the river! The hosts were very helpful and happy to answer any questions we had. We're happy to recommend Muskoka Paddle House!

Weekend to Recharge at Paddle House

Our stay at The Paddle House in Muskoka was truly exceptional. As a group of 10 moms looking for a weekend retreat to recharge, we found exactly what we needed. The Paddle House exceeded our expectations in every way. From even before our arrival, the owners made us feel incredibly welcome. They provided a helpful manual and rule book which was easy to follow and provided us with an abundance of information. They checked in when we arrived via text and their friendliness and hospitality were evident throughout our stay, ensuring we had everything we needed to enjoy our time. The house itself was spotless, modern, and equipped with all the amenities one could ask for. The chef’s kitchen was a highlight, allowing us to prepare delicious meals together. Additionally, the wide range of games and activities available kept us entertained and made our stay even more enjoyable. The only minor downside was the steep stairs leading to the dock, which could be challenging for some. However, this did not detract from our overall positive experience. Overall, The Paddle House provided us with the perfect setting to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories. We highly recommend it and would love to return in the future.

September getaway

Five friends who meet annually for a midweek getaway stayed at the Paddle House cottage. Great location walking distance to downtown Bracebridge. Beautiful, modern, clean, well appointed home on the riverfront. Each had our own bedroom with bunkie to spare. Many items to enjoy for families of all ages. Canoe, kayak, retrofitted dock, playroom with table tennis and big screen TV in comfy family room with access to Netflix and movies on DVD. All made our get together memorable this year.

Great experience

Everything was as pictured! The place was beautiful and renovated, so nice and cozy. The kids LOVED the garage space/game room. There was 8 of us and we had more than enough room for all of us. Everything was clean and the host was so easy to communicate with, was always messaging to make sure we are good. All the info was clear before we got there as to what to do how to get in, etc. overall a quality place and the view is amazing, loved having a fire pit outside. All the stores are minutes away as well.. thanks again to hosts!!
