Family gathering

We are so thankful for Alvaro who hosted our big family gathering. The cottage is so clean and nice, with very pretty views of the lake and colourful trees in the fall season. Property was well managed, and everyone had a great time. Definitely recommend staying here!!

Family Reunion

We booked this property for a large family gathering from 3 countries. Four children and a teenager were included in the group. The house suited our needs in terms of sleeping arrangements, space for kids to play (including a games room and children’s adventure play area), excellent dining at a huge table, safe water environment for all and areas to find peace and quiet away from everyone. We especially enjoyed the two docks, the water mat and kayaks and enjoyed the fire pit. This was an excellent holiday primarily because of a beautiful stress free environment! Would highly recommend for large family groups.

Girls weekend

We get together yearly and have been doing so for 42 years. There are usually 12 of us. Years ago we shared double beds etc and brought blow up mattresses. As we get older we don’t really want to do that. It’s hard to find accommodation that provides individual beds. This cottage provided that challenge for us. That being said, we loved the dining room area, and the kitchen was workable- especially liked the double refrigerators. . We enjoyed the fire pit area even though we did not have a fire. It was sunny on Saturday and we enjoyed the deck. We found the basement area cold, and the lighting dim on the main floor. Surprised that there was not a larger living room space and/ or a fireplace. We found the glasswear very minimal so we actually purchased a dozen wine glasses and donated them to the cottage. Bunkie was comfortable. Overall we are a group that are fortunate enough to have access to cottages and lakeside living, but once a year we love to be together under the same roof in a space that can accommodate all. We may keep this cottage in mind for a return visit. I personally live in Huntsville so the distance for me was perfect!

Amazing Vacation

Our entire family loved this property. Location was 10/10 and the home was spacious and well laid out so we all felt comfortable - we were a large family group. Amenities were thoughtful so it felt like a hotel stay. Our property manager was super responsive.

Amazing house and location

I booked this lakehouse to enjoy with two other families, and we are all gushing about how perfect this choice was. The house was gorgeous and had everything we might need; plenty of clean fluffy towels, comfy beds, and all kinds of entertainment. We had kids of all ages, from 2-17 and everyone had a blast. The little ones hopped all day on the floaty water-mat on the lake, and the older kids kayaked and used the paddle board. In the evenings we all played pool and ping pong while the kids watched movies in the family room. Overall it was an super fun and memorable experience. We can’t wait to return again next summer!

The biggest selling point for this place is that it can accommodate a big group - lots of space and great games room. It was fairly clean though some utensils, cutting boards etc were not so clean. I also stepped on some broken glass on the floor - main level and basement. The outdoor space really needs love. The deck off the boathouse is so worn that boards are coming up, nails are poking out and it’s ripe for splinters (my son got one). I picked up a garbage bag full of animal poop on the lawn so my kids could play there and we found three empty propane tanks for the BBQ. When we messaged the host, his phone number didn’t work and he eventually said that he wasn't in the area to help us. Wouldn’t stay there again but it could work for a group of adults if you can look past those things.

Perfect Summer Vacation!

Our family had an absolutely amazing vacation at this cottage! It was the perfect getaway for ‎us, especially with our young kids. The property's expansive grounds offered a great space for the kids to ‎play and explore, and the playground was a huge bonus.‎ Without a doubt, the highlight of the property was the beautiful dock. It quickly became our favourite ‎spot to spend our days, and the kids had a blast playing on the lily pad. ‎ We can't praise Ashley enough; she was an incredible host. Her responsiveness and attentiveness ‎made us feel right at home, and she made sure all our needs were met during our stay.‎ The cottage was thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need. It was a welcomed relief ‎not having to worry about missing essentials.‎ Another major plus was the cottage's convenient proximity to everything. Whether it was grabbing ‎groceries or heading in to Bala or Port Carling, everything was just a short distance away.‎ Despite the shallow surroundings, renting a boat and having access to the boat house was another ‎amazing perk. All in all, our experience at this cottage was fantastic. It catered perfectly to our family's needs and ‎provided us with unforgettable memories. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a ‎summer retreat, and we can't wait to return for another memorable vacation! Thank you, Ashley for your hospitality and providing us with such a wonderful place!

The property is beautiful, on an idyllic inlet. However, there were cleanliness and upkeep issues that made me feel like we had seriously overpaid for our stay, including but not limited to:1. The kitchen was dirty (dirt smeared on the cupboards, full coffee filter, a filthy apron stuffed in a cupboard) and not restocked (e.g., no tea towels or dish cloths)2. Wood rot on the back deck and dock including at least one large hole on the dock hidden under a chair. This frankly is a safety hazard.3. The laundry room was in disarray, sheets everywhere and the washer/dryer pulled out from the wall. 4. The basement sofabed was so bent we couldn't use itTo his credit, when I emailed Alvaro he replied the next day and offered to send cleaners. However, he asked that I send him photos before he do this (surprisingly difficult to do on the VRBO app). By the time this had been sorted out the trip was over. RE the structural damage, Alvaro said he knew about the holes in the dock (but did not warn us about them). He said he didn't know about the bent sofabed. This all leads me to believe that the property is not being inspected for general wear and tear and damage isn't being repaired in a timely way.I would overlook most of these issues if we hadn't paid so much. I did price comparisons in the region and there are better managed options available for a comparable price. Before committing to staying I recommend confirming that these problems are addressed.
