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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Cute & Cozy Cottage on the water
The owners were easy to work with. They accommodated our every request. Everything was done remotely. The cottage is at the closed end of a calm narrow cove. There are three good-size bedrooms and a cute bunkee. All the necessities are supplied. There are many paddle boards and kayaks for use at no additional charge. The water is calm, with access to the larger Muskoka Lake. We had a great time. We highly recommend this cottage.

we'd stay again
beautiful view, wish we weren't so busy with a wedding to actually relax and enjoy the property more. the fish were jumping but alas Pa and the toddler didn't catch one the little ones loved roaming the "forest" and climbing the rocks one constructive criticism is the beds could use a memory foam pad ( a little hard for our liking ) and sorry we broke your mop handle, but to be fair it was already duck taped. at least we used it:) if you didn't notice or weren't told, a storm put the power out for 6-7 hrs saturday night. we didn't open the fridge hardly so hopefully everything in there is fine. all our stuff was still cold also we tried to adjust the thermastat as we had the windows open but the heat was coming on, so you may want to check that we didn't mess up your settings thanks again for sharing your little piece of heaven with us

Great cottage experience
Overall we had a great time at the cottage. You can tell there’s lots of love at the cottage, it’s cozy and cute. The private dock was nice to be able to hang out during the day and the owners were super nice to blow up the stand up paddle boards for us. The lake is quiet where the cottage is, and you can take the kayak or paddle board out to the main part of the lake where it’s busier. The deck was huge! Lots of space for outdoor dining. The inside was suitable for what we needed, we had enough room in the living room to play charades. The water cooler also gave you hot water and coffee, which was great! And the owners left us supplies to make s’mores which was a really nice touch. Me and my family had a great time!

We had a lovely time at the lakeside cottage. We went after the Labour Day weekend. We went swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding and spent most of the day on the deck. Great fishing too. We had a campfire at night. The host had left us s’more ingredients. Communication with the host was excellent. The cottage had everything we needed for our getaway.
