The property was beautiful and as advertised! Decor and views are exceptional. Natalie and her team were helpful and responsive. The sand bottom made swimming off the dock incredible. The overall experience was fantastic! Will recommend this property and hope to book again in the future.

We spent a long weekend here while we were visiting family. We had a great experience. The home was clean and decorated nicely. The view of the lake was exceptional and the hot tub was a nice touch after a day of skiing. We would stay again!

We had an incredible weekend with family and friends at this gorgeous and well-appointed property. The lay out of the house was great as we all had our own space but the common areas were large enough for us to gather and spend a memorable weekend together. Property manager was easily reachable and very helpful. Thanks for having us!

This was our second stay at this cottage. Since the previous summer, there have been a number of upgrades that enhanced our stay, although the first stay was great as well. Our family would happily rent this cottage every summer. Natalie provides everything a group could need, and she communicates quickly and effectively. Highly recommended!

We were 5 seniors looking for a lakeside retreat. We were not disappointed - the house had everything we could possibly need, and then some. Indoors was so spacious. Outside was just perfect! Beautiful view, wonderful, relaxing hot tub, and, not-to-be-forgotten, the fire pit! We enjoyed it all.

Great location!
Our family get together was a great success at this lovely property. We did encounter a significant issue on our first day, but Natalie and team dealt with it quickly and ensured we were compensated appropriately. It was smooth sailing from then on and we were able to really enjoy our stay.

The house was clean but few minor issues. We had booked the place for 6 adults and 4 kids once we got there there was a bunk bed in downstairs bedroom, king size upstairs and 2 twin size beds upstairs, and a single bed. Two adults ended up sleeping on the floor (next time I would bring air mattress) the washroom downstairs was not cleaned properly.
Other than that honestly no issues.
One last thing the check out was at 12:00 we rushed to clear the house around 9:30 -10 so we could enjoy the last hour. To our surprise the pool guy shows up making it so awkward for us to be there. I have stayed at different cottages and I have never experienced this. So if you are booking be prepare to have some guy walk in on you to clean the jaccouze 1 hour before your check out time. Other than that if they would have us we would love to come back 👍

There we two important things that we felt could be improved. First was the dock. The only access to entering the water is from the dock which seems unsafe. Secondly, most of the windows don’t have screens so they could not be opened.
Otherwise, our stay was very comfortable.

Very nice house/cottage, right on the water and close to Toronto. Communication with Natalie before (and once during) our stay was very easy - she responded promptly to all emails. The only thing that was a bit off-putting was that she mentioned at least 4 times that she was down one housekeeper and we were made to feel like we had to pick up the cleaning slack as a result. In fairness, she doesn't know us, so I understood, but I didn't need to be told more than once.
Otherwise, there are a few minor things that couldn't get me to 5 stars - very small fridge and difficult to use freezer; staircase and dock are poorly built; ceiling fan in master bedroom is noisy. The cottage sleeps 4 adults, 2 children and a very young child comfortably (we had 4 adults and two children under 7), but 10 adults would be very tight.
Positives - the view is fantastic; the property is large; the hot tub is great; the barbecue worked well; there are plenty of plates, bowls and cutlery; the two spacious tv areas were a nice bonus, with lots of options like Netflix, etc. if it rains. The cottage very child-friendly and the water is very shallow - also great for kids.
I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a cottage feel without having to travel too far from Toronto and we look forward to returning next summer.

An Wonderful Family Rental
I have rented this cottage four times now for a stay with family and friends. It is spacious and well appointed and nothing beats the views and the sandy bottom beach for the children. Thanks as always, Natalie.

We had a great time at Water’s Edge. The house is as it appears in the pictures. The lake is beautiful and the kids loved the hot tub. There is lots of room to lounge inside on a rainy day, which made for a relaxing vacation for all. Thanks!

We were met with hostility upon checking out. The host was forcing herself into the home earlier than the agreed checkout time and began using racial slurs. She didn’t give us a chance to finish cleaning. She claims we left the house dirty yet she wants to charge us a fee for leaving garbage bags that are tied up and full. That doesn’t make any sense. This is unacceptable. My mother, teenage sister and paraplegic brother don’t deserve to be called racist slurs/stereotypes.

The cottage is very roomy and the kitchen appears new. The building exterior is a little tired and needs work (notably the second stored picture window), but the outdoor area is great for lounging and dining. Nice sand bottom all around the dock. We recommend installing a non-slip mat in the master bath, as well as building a walking path from the driveway to the back of the house. Overall a nice place.

Exterior is in disrepair. Negative curb appeal. No pathway from parking to house. Only worn grass and mud. Mouse droppings on kitchen counter. Things not as indicated on website, pantry not stocked. Pictures on website do not reflect current condition of the cottage. Broken railing on staircase. Backyard was littered with cigarette butts and wine corks. Deck had rotted planks.
Only positive was the lake view from the 2nd floor and the hot tub.
