Nature’s Cottage is an A++

George was very good at quickly answering any questions we had before and during our stay. Property is spacious and provides a quiet, tranquil getaway with access to canoes and kayaks, or Muskoka chairs on the dock if you want to enjoy nature.

Bliss

Loved everthing about this property. Sitting on the dock with my first coffee of the day waiting for the resident muskrat to swim by; doing morning qi gong in full view of the brilliant fall colours; canoeing down the river to the old mill and dam; bundling up with a glass of wine on the deck; enjoying our evening meal by candlelight in the screened in porch........

Exceeds Expectations

This property was awesome in every way! It was so nice we didn't want to leave for the ski lodge. The swans, ducks, and geese were an added bonus. George, the property owner/manager was very accomodating and you could tell he sincerely wanted us to enjoy our stay. He was very responsive and the home is equipped with everything one needs.

Best cottage vacation

This cottage check off all the things for a fun filled little vacation. We went friends and young kids. The location is less than 2 hours from Toronto. George was a great host. Always replied instantly. Accommodated a few of our requests which made our stay even more enjoyable. The cottage itself was clean and in line with the pictures. Everyone just stayed outdoors in the backyard, on the deck, at the beachy area (this is pretty much the only cottage that had sand where you could just walk off into the water), having fun with canoes and kayaks (all provided) and the large gazebo on the deck. We did not feel the need to explore any surrounding trails, parks etc. The cottage has everything that you need including large driveway/parking, living room, dining room, bed rooms, mud room, accessible garage, backyard, firepit, lower deck with gas drill, upper deck with gazebo, beach, deck, canoes (life jackets). It was a perfect cottage vacation. Will definitely return and highly likely go to other locations with George.

Great property but…

3/5 stars. The property and river front is absolutely gorgeous with fun water activities (kayak, canoe, paddle boats, tanning deck, fire pit). The water was great for swimming and there were shockingly no bugs at night. Inside the cottage was also decently equipped and didn’t run into any issues beside bad water drainage in the shower and sinks. Unfortunately though, the owner has noise detectors (‘minut’) inside and outside the home so any sound detection above a certain decibel will trigger the sound detector and send you harassing/threatening text messages, emails, VRBO notifications and calls. The neighbours were constantly complaining to the owner about any noise, even starting the complaints before 9pm…however noting that the bylaw dictates no noise only after 11pm. Unfortunately these constant calls, text, emails, calls and VRBO notifications put a bit of a damper on the evening mood since I felt like I couldn’t even have a loud and engaging conversation without setting off the device and getting threatened to have OPP raid the cottage for chatting with my family. *I don’t suggest booking this cottage if you have loud kids or enjoy music or are a loud talker*

Perfect getaway

This was such a great place for a mini family getaway! I am originally from the area (but live in the US now) and I rent a cottage on the water every summer so I can visit friends and family. This cottage was by far the best one yet! The layout, the amenities, the river, the hot tub, the communication with the property manager…. Everything was excellent! I will definitely be back next summer.

Awesome...

The Cottage has fantastic views, the fall there is impressive, and my puppy became a man. He drank my chocolate martini. Note to self don't put your martini on the floor. Anyhow he's okay. I think I'll Come back next year. The bedrooms were huge, and the beds were comfortable. And we got wine for not finding the very visible towels—everything in the kitchen you could need to cook. It was fantastic

Everything you need for a quick vacation

staying at this cottage was the best decision we made, the house was fully stocked with everything you need and very spacious. It was clean and quiet, which was perfect for a nice vacation. Another bonus is that its pet friendly, my dog really loved it there too. Communication with the owner was fast and easy, he was very nice. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice get away as it is only around 2 hours away from Toronto.

An absolutely incredible vacation stay

I had an amazing experience renting this property. The rooms were spacious, there was enough space to accommodate a family of 5 comfortably, the views were absolutely incredible, and the overall experience was just magnificent. The host recommended Scoopz ice cream shop which we had to visit and my group absolutely enjoyed every bite of the ice cream. In the mornings, we walked down to the dock with a cup of coffee, fresh air and it was truly a relaxing experience. The host was easily accessible and the house rules were very clear and detailed. It was very much appreciated. We definitely plan to make this our family vacation spot for future summers. Once again, we thoroughly enjoyed staying at this rental property.

If you like the photos, just wait until you see the place in person!

George is a fantastic host! Great communication, everything we needed was easily found or stocked. He was in touch with us as needed and everything went exceptionally smooth. We've never used a service like VRBO before and we didn't know what to expect in general. The whole experience was truly great! For once in our life the pictures didn't do the cottage justice! Once you arrive here you'll be more than impressed, as the cottage is far better than the pictures represent! We anticipated a lovely place based on the photos, but we were MORE than surprised!

Highly Recommend!

As first time cottage renters, this was a great experience and would definitely love to return to Nature’s Cottage! The pictures did not lie; what we saw in the advertisement is what we got. Really loved how clean the place was - that was very important for us. Don’t really have anything negative to say (except that we wish we would have booked during the warmer weather) … Everything was great - from reserving to check in to check out. Special shout out to the responsive host!

Fun on the River.

George's Nature's Cottage is a real find. It is well appointed, clean as a whistle and in a great location. George provides many personal touches like fresh flowers and luxury hotel style amenities. The AC comes in handy on hot muggy days and all rooms are spacious and well suited for adults and children alike. There is great swimming off a beautiful new dock and sandy beach, and even a covered fire pit with lots of fire wood. We had lots of fun in the canoes, row boat and kayak provided. For those who like to play bocce or catch, there's plenty of lawn space. There are several decks or sit out areas and even a balcony off the master bedroom. George is a terrific host and always available when needed. Our family looks forward to returning soon.

Great Vacation

We had a very pleasant vacation at this property. Checking in was very easy and the place was spotless. The cottage was well stocked with the essentials. There was a nice care package. The outdoor setting was clean and inviting. The waterfront, dock and firepit were all excellent. Other than the kayak paddle needing to be replaced, all of the canoe/kayak gear was great. The landlord responded quickly to a washing machine needing replacing from the previous week. He arranged this quickly and was quite friendly. All-in-all we were quite comfortable and happy with our stay and would definitely recommend this rental. Of note, the river itself is great for paddling!

Very nice lake view cottage

My family booked the cottage on June 23-25. We love the cottage, it’s clean and spacious. George was an excellent host. He responded to our queries quickly. He even gave us a surprised welcome gift. Thank you George. Our stay was so much fun. Waking up looking at at the lake was amazing. The lake was very calm and peaceful. You should tried Canoeing and kayaking in the morning or evening. Thanks again George for a great 2 nights .We will book again and refer to friends your cottage.
