The property and accommodations were great. We enjoyed our family get away and ate all our meals out on the deck with a view of the lake! The house is well equipped and the beds are very comfy. The only unfortunate downside was that the pond is not swimmable this year and we had really looked forward to that! The kids enjoyed the Sandy beach and exploring for frogs- just were not able to fully enjoy the water. ##### Barbara R. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott R.

It was more than big enough for the 8 of us. Everything we needed was available and well organized. Having access to the canoe/kayaks/etc. was very nice, and I really like the fire pit and location for a campfire. My only complaint is that the listing says there's a hot tub, but there is not. We were specifically looking for a place that had one, so this was quite disappointing. But overall it was an enjoyable stay and a great place. ##### Scott R.

We were 3 generations staying so the fact there’s upstairs, downstairs and outdoor living space works great. The large property, pond, fire pit, pedal boat, kayaks and paddle board kept us outside much of the time even though the house is large, clean and well equipped.

The inside of the cottage was very spacious and tastefully decorated. MaryLou was very quick in answering all my questions and made our stay very comfortable. I will highly recommend anyone who wants to get together with many generations! Everyone will have their own space and things to do. ##### sylvia L.

We had a group of 11 people, myself and 3 sisters and our daughters. There was plenty of room for everyone. The outdoor spaces are amazing. kitchen is well appointed and stocked with everything you need. The house was spotless and the bedrooms were inviting. Our group really had a great time. Our host, MaryLou was very helpful, quick to answer questions and provided all the necessary information before checkin. Great experience. ##### Christine M.

We were thrilled with how clean the cottage. Yard was well maintained. Beautiful view over looking the lake. Nice screened in porch. Upper deck with seating. Seating on the dock and around outdoor fire pit. Recycling/garbage area well organized. Bedding could have been a bit more substantial for cooler night, most had thin cotton quilts. Waterfront a bit weedy at the shore. But overall a great spot! ##### Nicole M.

My family and I spent a week and found it to be clean and accommodating! They supplied everything you could imagine and the home was tastefully done. We had a great time! The only thing that was somewhat disappointing was the lake. It was full of weeds and not suitable for swimming. However, the kids did play in the pond. I highly recommend this home. ##### Jan L.

We had a great time. The cottage was roomy and nicely updated. The cottage and property had lots of room and activities for the kids. Even enough space for the parents and grandparents to enjoy once the kids were a sleep. Mary Lou was so nice and helpful. ##### Mike R. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol G.

Everything was perfect! Lots of room inside and out, very clean and Mary Lou and Bruce were perfect hosts. ##### Carol G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary M.

There were so many things to do between the canoes, kayaks, peddle boat, and swimming pond. It was great to have the privacy that this property provides while still being close enough to Orillia to take advantage of things like Kawartha Dairy and Costco! The house itself was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. It was very helpful to have all the basic cooking and baking utensils and appliances available in the kitchen, and the coffee drinkers in our group loved having access to a Keurig! It was really easy to get a hold of the owners and they were really helpful to answer any questions we had. All in all, it was a great trip that had the kids (and adults) in the group wondering why we had to leave! ##### Kathryn B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles M.

Everyone had an amazing time! The pond was great for the kids to fish and swim. Bruce and Mary Lou were fantastic hosts. The cottage was recently renovated and it is very well done. Highly recommend staying here. ##### Charles M.
