The property is beautifully nestled on the lake, very cute, clean, and the beds are very comfortable. We all had a blast in the hot tub and the kids had fun playing ping pong and other board games that were there. It was perfect for a March break getaway and we hope to come back during the summer. ##### Christine G. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jordan E.

Jun 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The cottage was a bit smaller than the pictures depicted. However, it was quaint and overlooked a small bay of Muskoka Lake. Lovely! Great sitting out on the deck. Hot tub was a nice feature. ##### Cheryl B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colin M. Aug 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We stayed 9 days at the end of August. There were 3 of us, so plenty of space (it could sleep max 10 but would be pretty crowded with that many). The property is on an island (with a short bridge to the mainland). The cottage itself is on a quiet little bay with a view west for lovely sunsets, to be enjoyed sitting at the fire table on one of the three levels of deck. Beds are comfy and everything you could need for a cottage holiday is provided. A nice functional kitchen, too, and a big BBQ on the deck off the main floor (the top floor which also contains a bathroom with shower and 2 bedrooms). The bottom floor contains 2 more bedrooms and another bathroom plus washer and dryer. There is even a bunkie with two separate beds. Unusual in cottage country, there is central A/C, a real plus. We loved the hot tub after a swim from the dock in the cool water. Communication with the owner was excellent--even sent someone over to adjust the fire table. Lots to do in the region, including short hikes. The nearby town of Bala (15 min or so) has a good grocery store and a terrific bakery (Don's), as well as a few restaurants, and the town of Port Carling is maybe 20 minutes in the other direction with more restaurants and shops. Highly recommended; we'd be delighted to return! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/be09a7e9-1246-48ec-ab62-cf25b5b0e8bf-1756237996043.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a5c8acea-7b7d-4ac8-816a-59b06464f5ab-1756237996024.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e721692e-89c4-4e34-8ca1-14b436fc49d6-1756237996001.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Colin M.
