Tranquil cottage in lovely surroundings

Beautiful, relaxing location with excellent views of the frozen lake and forest. Large and well-equipped lake house. Easy access to the water. Very secluded and private lot, yet only 10 minutes from Huntsville. Photos don’t do it justice.

Great Getaway

This was an amazing cottage, the facilities were clean and fully stocked. The lake and property were beautiful and it is located close to both Arrowhead provincial park and Algonquin provincial park. Steve was a great host and communicated effectively, the cottage was also very intentionally outfitted. I would recommend it to anyone booking and will be sure to return!

Spacious stay on a lake near huntsville

Homey and spacious house on a beautiful lake. Short drive from huntsville and arrowhead provincial park. Well stocked kitchen for groups. Gorgeous views from inside and out and peaceful hangouts on the dock, deck or screened in second floor patio.

Peace and Quiet

My spouse and I stayed at the cottage and found it very spacious. The bed was very comfortable and having access to the lake (canoe) was delightful. We encountered two loons on the lake who entertained us with their calls. This cottage would make a wonderful place for a larger group or family with children. It was clean, and had everything necessary (bring your own sheets and towels) and fast WiFi.

Quaint cottage in a great location

Rustic cottage in a perfect location. 15 minute drive to Huntsville and about 25 minutes to Algonquin Park. Has everything you need including lots of firewood, a well equipped kitchen, and a BBQ. Could use a dishwasher and a TV station or two would be nice for the rainy days. View of the lake is great and it was very quiet. Stairs could be challenging for some people. Steve was quick to respond to questions which was an added bonus. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a real cottage experience close to amenities and the park.

August 2024 Stay

This was our 3rd stay at this property. Clean and well equipped. 2 paddle boards and a canoe available for guest use. Great location in close proximity to Huntsville/Dwight/Dorset/Algonquin Park. Good dock (we have a 19' bowrider). Boat launch at TallyHo is good and a short 10 min drive away. Boating is great with access to Fairy, Mary & Vernon. Lots of firewood provided. Steve is a great host quick to respond to any questions. No complaints! We will be back again!

Full Canadian experience

We had an amazing time. The cottage was bigger then we expected. The surroundings were beautiful. Deer, stars at night, sunsets, a storm brewing over the lake etc. Coming from Belgium, this was exactly what we needed and wanted to experience.

Quiet and Cozy

This was our second time staying at this property, and we enjoyed ourselves as much this time as the last. The cabin is warm and inviting and just the perfect location to relax and unwind. This property is for anyone who wants to really experience what it is like staying in an authentic cottage in rural Ontario. You would not believe that you are a mere minutes away from the town of Huntsville. Perfect place to unplug and separate yourselves from the rat race. It truly is a blessing that the owners have opened this special place to everyone.

Winter weekend away

We had a nice stay at Steve's cottage. Ideally situated for winter activities, it is a short drive to Arrowhead and Algonquin Provincial Parks. Although it's close to Huntsville, the property feels remote. The bedrooms are roomy and the kitchen is very well-equipped. There is plenty of space for meals and hanging out. We also enjoyed having a fire in the woodstove. Steve was very quick to respond to messages during our stay. We would love to return another time.
