Magical Snow Escape
As always, this property is wonderful, particularly in the wintertime! There is lots to do outdoors in the surrounding area. The hosts even provided some treats for Valentines Day, which was very thoughtful! We look forward to returning again!

Beautifully setup, a gorgeous property!
We truly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean & beautiful, had gorgeous landscape & was close to all amenities. Setup was well thought of, everything needed was provided including firewood for a cozy fireplace. First class experience all the way through and also an amazing & resoonsive host. Thank you Greg! Our daughter had a blast and enjoyed her ski camp! Our dog was in heaven. There was great privacy as well. We highly recommend it & definitely love to come back.

Beautiful getaway
We stayed at this beautiful property for thanksgiving. It was a lovely experience. The cottage is located in a very quiet. serene location right on Muskoka river. We throughly enjoyed the views from the living room and the warmth from the log fire. Greg, was an amazing host. He even let us check out later in the day. I would go back again. Highly recommend this place.

Fabulous home and wonderfully pristine river location
Greg was a wonderful host. When something went wrong, he responded immediately with a solution to the problem. Sleeping arrangements should be considered as sometimes, depending on ages and relationships, beds need to be assigned appropriately. We had one male almost 13 and two girls ages 15 for part of our stay.

Exceptional vacation
The cottage is stunning and luxurious. Exactly as advertised and more. Swam off the dock and paddled the river to falls every day. Rainy days in the Muskoka room are what it was designed for. Loved the days we spent there making happy family memories. Hope to spend time there again in the future. Thank you Greg and Kathleen for a wonderful vacation.

Extremely clean and relaxing
My honest review. (Not picky, just honest) Greg was absolutely a gentleman and a gracious host. He greeted us, showed where everything was and left us his number for any questions. Inside is small-ish for 2 adults and 4 kids BUT it was clean and organized. Air conditioning worked beautifully and IF you needed TV/Internet, it was fast. The dock area was nice and the river was picture perfect. As a landscape guru, I could appreciate the hard and soft scape around the whole property. Negatives (hardly any) - Pictures showed a ladder leading up to a loft area but we were told we couldn’t access it and the ladder was taken down…. My son was bummed out because of that. - There’s not a lot of places to go inside for privacy/separation BUT again, it’s not a bad place to be stuck. - Not a lot to do if you get “cabin fever” so we made the drive into town a couple times. I would absolutely recommend this place for a couple with 2 kids OR it’s great if you just want to get away from the city.
