Wonderful, clean place and thoughtful hosts!

My friends and I loved our weekend getaway. It was a relaxing stay in a quiet, cozy area. There was a brief power outage due to a storm, but Tom was quick to respond and helped us resolve any issues. Thanks again for having us, we look forward to book again in the future!

Cozy family cottage + dogs and great dock fishing!

Property is well maintained at the very inner part of the bay. Our dogs were welcome, dock fishing is premium and plenty of kayaks to explore the bay and lake. Was searching for pike and walleye but caught tons of smallmouth bass and some pretty big ones too! Would highly recommend this charming Muskoka getaway.

Cute cottage

Owners were excellent to communicate with promptly. Would be better if linens were included in the rental. Not enough indoor dining chairs to accommodate the number of people advertised for. Great outdoor dining space if the weather allows. We had a cozy quiet little getaway which was great!

I can’t say enough about this cottage, the location is so close to Bala, Gravenhurst, and great trails too. Tom was great at making sure I had all of the info needed to check in and be able to just relax and made sure I knew I could message him with any questions. 5 stars for sure!!

Weekend getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage in a beautiful location. Tom was great with the check-in, providing plenty of information and answering all of our questions. The rooms are a little smaller than we thought from the pictures, but great for sleeping. Many hours were spent on the dock sipping a beverage, watching the wildlife, and touring the bay on the kayaks and paddleboard. Memorable weekend!

We had fun

Our primary reason for this visit was for my children and husband to fish. They had so much fun fishing and spent each day on the dock. The cottage was perfect for what we were looking for and the animals and nature was a perfect atmosphere for us, we even encountered two beavers that wanted to interact and play. It was so much fun and we made beautiful memories there. Thank you Tom for being such an amazing host.

Beautiful quiet spot in Muskoka

Nice cottage located in a quiet little bay of Muskoka. Tom was always quick to answer any questions we had. Bug spray, after bite, a bottle of wine, and a smores kit were waiting for us. Cottage had all you need for cooking and even condiments in the fridge . Lots of seating for large groups on the deck, and seating on the dock to enjoy the view. Parking would be a little snug if you had multiple cars but overall would definitely recommend this place to couples or families. We had a wonderful time.
