Location is awesome right on the lake with great sunsets. Tons of bugs but that is to be expected when on the water. Rafts, canoe and everything available to use so no worries about extra packing. We will definitely book again and would recommend this to anyone especially couples. Wifi was a bit spotty but with the lake and the beautiful weather we had there was no need for it! ##### Max M.

My friends and I had an awesome two nights here, enjoying the water and taking in the gorgeous views. John was very friendly, helpful and laid back. Yes there are a lot of spiders with it being on the dock. One of us has quite the fear of spiders so John sprayed all around the boat house and this helped a bit. There is no shower so longer stays would be tough, but ample bedding is provided and everything you need kitchen wise. ##### Ashley A. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dana K.

We both enjoyed the cottage along with the lake views, sunsets and shooting stars and campfires each night. John was a great host and was even impressed that we started our own campfire with 1 match. He ensured we had all the kindling and firewood needed. We will be back for sure. Thank you for a great 1st Vrbo experience. P.s. we are not afraid of a few spiders on window screens. Look forward to our next visit. If you go soon check out the local sunflower farm. ##### Dana K. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Deirdre b. Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Great for short stay The place was ok . It was very dirty inside when we arrived and the bugs and spiders inside were ridiculous. There was no garbage to put anything in for days. There was only one small fridge when add said two . It would be fine for a few days but it was not great for a week with 5 people . The tv never worked and wifi was spotty at best . The cooking facilities need improvement. And the fact that there was no showing facilities in our space was awkward . Positives the outside was beautiful . The host was nice but there is a lot he can improve with being prepared for people to stay for extended periods. ##### Deirdre b. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Will P. Aug 21, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Boathouse with some quirks My two best friends and I stayed at this boat house for 3 days, 2 nights. We had a good stay and the space was good for what we were looking for. John was a great host and a very friendly and personable individual. Good points: Beautiful views of lake Simcoe, it truly is just lovely to sit by the water. John has a bunch of water toys etc for your use. The water is very clean and shallow, you just need water shoes for the rocks (which John does provide if needed). The kitchen is great. Lots of utensils etc Bad: Just the overall cleanliness was a bit lacking. The bathroom could have been wiped down better, stuff under the kitchen counter on the floor etc. The king bed has a firm mattress (which is fine) but! There is no mattress cover, bed bug encasement, no pillow protectors etc...which is fine for a personal home, but a high turn over rental should probably have those basics. Also, the railings and stairs need to be secured. \*This part is not in Johns control, just something to note. There is a lot of train traffic. Its a residential area, therefore the trains have to let out a long a progressive blast when they are on approach and making their way through. Its loud, unpredictable and we heard a train pass around 12:45am and as early as 5am The Ugly:...Spiders...many many spiders insif you are okay with that, great. If not, look elsewhere. Its just the area and they do get inside, so just note that. Nice space just needs maintenance. ##### Will P.
