We were met by our hosts when we arrived. Not only were they very pleasant and helpful, but they had left a gift of wine for us inside. A nice touch for sure. We appreciated the location of the cottage, being right on Lake Simcoe, as well as its proximity to a trendy, up-and-coming resort: Friday Harbour. One drawback was the cleanliness of the property. Some of the cooking utensils (pans, cutlery, and glassware) had been put away with obvious dirt still on them from previous usage. In addition, there was a nasty, fish-smelling remnant on one of the shelves in the secondary fridge. Outside, there was some miscellaneous garbage in the kayaks and on the lawn, but nothing that could be easily cleaned up. On a more positive note, we really enjoyed the spacious yard. The front yard had ample room for our family volleyball and badminton matches and the backyard afforded us room to spread out, have a campfire, enjoy sitting in the sun or shade, grass or on the dock. There were plenty of rooms inside for our family of 5 to each have their own space for both sleeping and lounging. The garage gave us ample room to store our bikes which we used to tour the quiet neighbourhood or visit the local country store. There was tons of parking for our 3 vehicles which was a bonus for sure. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property for your family's vacation needs.
