We had a great stay in the Cozy Condo at Hidden Valley! The condo had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the kids enjoyed the use of the Hotel pool. It is super-close (walkable in ski boots) to Hidden Valley ski hill which was perfect for our race weekend. We missed our checkout time due to issues at the racehill and our host was very helpful and accomodating! Thanks Vince, we hope to be back next year!

Great Getaway

Visit was between seasons so can't comment on water or snow sports in the area, but, the chalet itself was absolutely stellar. A great place to hang out and relax for a much needed break. Host was pleasant, responsive and super helpful with information about the surrounding area.

Chalet holiday

Very cozy and pleasant chalet with quiet neighborhood. Our stay was relaxing and exactly what we were aiming for - a nice soothing holiday for the whole family. Only pity was though the lake in view was fantastic, all the surroundings belong to private owners so while we got to have great view we didn’t get to walk around it.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Jul, 2025
For clarification purposes and to add credibility to most of our 5 star reviews, the reason for this 4 star review is not fully warranted. Our chalet is one of 60 privately owned resort homes on the property that has lakefront shared access. All owners and their guests can enjoy the hundreds of meters of lakeside and private beach area. There is a path along the lake and a beach with sand, buoyed swimming area, docks (with a ladder), and both loungers and Muskoka chairs. All of this is included with any booking for all our guests. Hopefully this adds insight and confirms why the vast majority of reviews give us 5 stars. The lake view can be enjoyed from both our private balconies and up close by the water. Respectfully, Vince

About the host

Hosted by Vincent O'Brien

Host profile image
I grew up in Willowdale/North York. I went to post-secondary in Peterborough and Kingston before returning to Toronto. My wife Nancy and I then moved north of the city where our three children have grown up and started their careers. We have always been active and enjoyed the outdoors, including a variety of sports and activities.

Why they chose this property

If you enjoy scenic views, quiet relaxation, various activities like swimming, hiking, skiing, and paddleboarding/kayaking, you'll love this place! Main Street is 10 minutes away with unique Muskoka shops and places to eat by the water. Great pubs and great food! Algonquin Park and Arrowhead are close by , as well as Limberlost Forest and Lions Lookout to walk and take in spectacular sights. With your stay you have our access pass to the hotel pool, hot tub, and sauna -- all next door two minutes away.

What makes this property unique

Once you experience the view from our two levels and two balconies, you will be in love. The views combined with the cozy interiors will make you want to come back in a different season asap!
