Everything in the listing was spot on — the property was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable 7-day stay. There was plenty of space for all of us, and the beds were incredibly comfortable — a huge plus after active days outdoors. There is so much to do in this area.We especially loved the outdoor space. The gas grill, fire pit with classic Muskoka red chairs, and the view of the lake created the perfect setting for relaxing evenings. One of the highlights for my kids was fishing off the dock — they were thrilled to catch a 3-pound largemouth bass! Lots of bluegills and frogs too. The owner was responsive and helpful throughout our stay, promptly answering any questions and offering great recommendations for local activities.We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped lakeside getaway. ##### John H.

There is a steep incline from the deck to get to the waterfront and firepit. The waterfront was not so good for swimming as it was rocky and weedy, however there are plenty of water float toys to make use of. Thanks Kathy ##### Kathy D.

The house was very comfortable and the kitchen/dining/living area was perfect. We cooked a lot and found everything we needed in the kitchen. The lake is a bit weedy in the area but my kids spent everyday in the water. The lily pad was great and we rented a pontoon boat for two days which was really fun. A note: in the listing it shows the bunkie having a queen sized futon but currently has a small love seat with chaise. Vivian was super responsive when we needed to reach out to her. A great stay overall! ##### Kristin T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug V.

The property is a good size for family fun. Yes, it is located on a reedy part of the lake, but if you like nature, the biodiversity would be a good learning experience for you kids. We saw an otter, beaver, turtle, great blue heron, frogs, toads and fish. We enjoyed the canoe and kayaks. Our only problem was the heat. The AC unit was not installed and my 76 year old mother was uncomfortable. ##### Doug V. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandra M. Aug 17, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Everything in Vivian’s control was top-notch!! But… The cottage is lovely. The attention to detail is impressive. The kitchen has everything one could possibly need. The fridge, cupboards, and so on were spotless. The live-edge dining room table, leather couch and chairs, open concept eating/cooking/sitting area were perfect. The two bathrooms were clean, modern, and bright. The bedrooms were very comfortable and set back from the main area so that they were peaceful and quiet. The deck, just out through the sliding glass doors, had a dining table smartly surrounded by netting. Down two steps and still on the deck were four comfy armchairs separated by a propane fire table. The path down to the lakefront is wide and easy to navigate. The fire pit area is perfect with 6 lovely red Muskoka chairs. The toys were super. Kayaks, paddle boards, and a canoe sit easily accessible beside the sand beach (that had been raked like at a 5-star resort). The water- this is the part that the owner has no control over but is/was important to us. You could walk in on sand to mid-thigh about 10-15 feet from shore and then the weeds started. The weeds are from the lake floor to the surface and are everywhere. One cannot swim from the beach area or beyond the dock due to the weeds. And for us, this was disappointing. BUT , if you do not plan on swimming from the shore or dock, the waterfront and shoreline are picturesque. Thank you Vivian for the use of your very well appointed cottage and grounds. ##### Sandra M.

The kids thoroughly enjoyed the amenities and being out on the lake. It was VERY easy to get comfortable and feel at home at this cottage. Looking forward to coming back one day soon. ##### Morgan Y. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gessica P. Jun 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Cottage! Myself and 6 other girlfriends (All 30+) stayed at this cottage for our annual girls' cottage weekend and we had the best time! The cottage is even more beautiful than the photos. Everything was clean, the owner let us have early check-in, she was easy to communicate with, the beds were very comfortable, and we really enjoyed being on the water and being able to have a fire at night - there was firewood already there for us. There's lots of privacy with the trees surrounding the property so we didn't see any neighbours. We would 100% stay here again! ##### Gessica P.
