Jul 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy As advertised. The owners were very accommodating. The kids really enjoyed having thier own space in what we called the “the kids cabin”. Our dog probably enjoyed the island the most having the ability to roam freely. Would highly recommend for a family looking for privacy, peace, and time together. Parry Sound was about a 25min drive away if you needed something else to do for a day but we spent most days boating, swimming, fishing, and just relaxing on the dock. ##### Sean F.

Great hosts, a dream of an island property. The solar and propane were more than manageable. ##### Jeff S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian N. Jul 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful Island Retreat Our Family had a wonderful Time at Fergies Island Paradise! The cottage was as advertised and was set on a beautiful private island. Boat access was super easy and having a place to park the boat close to the car was great for any activities which required a car. Living off the grid for a week was also a great new experience as the cottage runs on Propane and solar power only. My daughter of 6 years had a great time swimming off the dock and roasting marshmallows by the campfire while watching the beautiful sunsets. Greg was super easy to communicate with and always gave a quick response to any questions. If you’re up for a unique island experience, this is the place for you! Thanks Fergusons! ##### Brian N. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Touchstone Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Touchstone-Resort.h37486278.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Peterborough-Waterfront, ON by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Peterborough-Waterfront.h10806.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott Gravenhurst Muskoka Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Gravenhurst-Muskoka-Wharf.h2621805.Hotel-Information) > > [Georgian Bay Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Georgian-Bay-Hotel-Trademark-Collection-By-Wyndham.h1802744.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Inn.h35593974.Hotel-Information) > > [Valhalla Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Valhalla-Inn.h25234.Hotel-Information) > > [Benmiller Inn & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh-Hotels-Benmiller-Inn-Spa.h1881763.Hotel-Information) > > [Pickering Casino Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pickering-Hotels-Pickering-Casino-Resort.h89435702.Hotel-Information) > > [Muskoka Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Muskoka-Bay-Resort.h49036339.Hotel-Information) > > [Deerhurst Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Deerhurst-Resort.h23864.Hotel-Information) > > [Friday Harbour Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Innisfil-Hotels-Friday-Harbour-Resort.h30029681.Hotel-Information) > > [Carriage Ridge Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Oro-Medonte-Hotels-Carriage-Ridge-Hills-Resorts.h1177104.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Thunder Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Thunder-Bay.h30299129.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Mosaic Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Mosaic-Suites.h35593864.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Stone Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Living-Stone-Golf-Resort.h1590687.Hotel-Information) > > [Fern Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ramara-Hotels-Fern-Resort.h9812529.Hotel-Information) > > [The Water Tower Inn, BW Premier Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sault-Ste-Marie-Hotels-The-Water-Tower-Inn.h20693.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus The Arden Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Stratford-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-The-Arden-Park-Hotel.h11525291.Hotel-Information) > > [Horseshoe Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Oro-Medonte-Hotels-Horseshoe-Resort.h41218.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton St. Catharines Niagara Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-St-Catharines-Niagara-Suites.h2609.Hotel-Information) > > [Hidden Valley Resort, an Ascend Collection Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Hidden-Valley-Resort.h23944.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Mountain Resort Village Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Blue-Mountain-Resort-Village-Suites.h10940024.Hotel-Information) > > [Superior Inn Hotel and Conference Centre Thunder Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Thunder-Bay-Hotels-Victoria-Inn-Hotel-And-Convention-Centre.h900513.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Sudbury.h19351.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Sudbury.h45671968.Hotel-Information) > > [Hockley Valley Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Mono-Hotels-Hockley-Valley-Resort.h9779402.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Leamington Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Leamington-Hotel-Conference-Centre.h19347.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Collingwood by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Barrie-Orillia-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Collingwood.h52463807.Hotel-Information) > > [Living Water Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood-Hotels-Living-Water-Resort-And-Spa.h6986293.Hotel-Information) > > [Westin Trillium House, Blue Mountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Westin-Trillium-House.h1357075.Hotel-Information)
