Perfect Winter Get Away

This is place is great for three couples looking for a winter get away. Accommodation were exactly as described and extremely clean. Beautiful view of the lake. Very quiet and private. 20 minute drive from Arrowhead Provincial Park, where we would go everyday to ski, skate and snowshoe. Thank you Julius

Perfect Mother's Day Weekend

The cottage is a gem in the middle of the Muskokas. It was well taken care of, communication with the owner was great and he answered all our questions/concerns. Everything was clean and there was an assortment of boating/outdoor gear available for use, including a BBQ. Our kids particularly enjoyed using the paddle board. We'll definitely consider booking this place again in the near future.

Peaceful

Very private, well-equipped 2-storey cottage on a small quiet lake with a nearby walking trail through some pretty wetlands. We enjoyed swimming & paddleboarding. Canoe, kayak and pedalboard also available. Decks off master bedroom & main floor overlook lake. A very relaxing get-away to catch up with family or friends. Owner is very accessible.

Beautiful for a fall getaway

We stayed for only a snowy fall weekend. The cottage is nestled in a forested area on a lake. The view of the lake from the cottage is exactly as pictured and is beautiful. The cottage was clean and the kitchen was well-stocked. However, be aware that the tap water is not potable so you'll need to bring your own drinking water. The indoor entertainment options included a TV area with a good-size TV and a number of streaming services. The only issue we had with the property was that we were met with an overwhelming smell of naphthalene (moth balls) when we arrived. This smell lingered for most of the weekend despite our attempts to air it out. Overall we had a great time.

Cozy cottage to enjoy the Fall season

This is truly an amazing cottage. It has all the amenities of home but better. The lake view from the deck was spectacular with all the colors of fall. The location was in close proximity to Algonquin park which we did visit for some hikes and Huntsville was only 20 minutes away. I would recommend this cottage for families and friends to gather and make everlasting memories.

Loved our stay!

This cottage was perfect for our group. With three couples and a baby, we had plenty of room without feeling like we were on top of each other. The cottage itself was very clean and had everything that we needed. The property is very private as well. We also loved having the water toys (paddle boards, peddle boat, canoe, and kayak) available to us. Julius was a very accommodating host and always responded promptly to any questions. Would definitely stay again!

Awesome place for a family vacation!

Serene Bay is a great cottage that is well laid out, spacious, nicely decorated and extremely clean. We loved the fact that sheets and towels are included so no need to bring your own which saves time and space in the car! The owners think of all the touches including a very nice welcome basket. We would highly recommend this cottage.
