The Hummingbird cottage is your typical Muskoka cottage, but without waterfront. You have access to the water and the dock by walking around and between the other two cottages on the property.
The cottage itself is nicely decorated and has all you need - although no kids dinnerware even though that's listed in amenities. Bedding and towels were provided.
We were not surprised to have to contend with mice, ants and ripped screens - it's a cottage. We were not prepared, however, for the smell of the water. A few days before arrival we were informed that the water is not considered safe to drink. Again, it's a cottage so we were prepared to deal with that with purification tablets and boiling the water. But the smell! No amount of purification or boiling took away the sulphur smell that filled the cottage every time we ran a tap to boil water or wash dishes. I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned in other reviews.

No AC, landlord informed me two days before the trip.
Dirty water and smell awful, can not use the water for cooking or shower.
Mouse is everywhere so that daughters and grand kids could not sleep at night.
booked for two nights stay but had to leave early.

Thanks to Henry for excellent stay.

Unfortunately we had a very uncomfortable experience due to non-operational air conditioning units. The lack of cooling led to three sweltering nights, making it difficult for us and especially for our kids, who struggled with the warm and humid conditions. The discomfort significantly impacted our stay. We asked owner to provide us portable A/C or moving to other unit with working A/C, but he easily said: "I don't have." and nothing more.
Actually I don't suggest this property and owner.

Unfortunately there were a lot of things wrong with this Cottage it had not been maintained . There were cracks in the walls , broken floorboards ,the front door would not open fully. and the double walkouts were wrapped in rope to keep it closed. The air conditioning also did not work only blowing warm air even after reseting the breaker.With the hot cotage we has trouble sleeping and we left early. We are very disappointed about the maintenance of the cottage communication with a host did nothing to address the issues we would not recommend staying in this Cottage

This is my second time staying on the property just the different cottage on the property. Very happy with both cottages… our property manager (Henry) is excellent. Whenever I had a question about something it was always there with a quick reply. Very impressed!

While overall the cottage and the location exceeded my expectations, I couldn't give a full 5 stars as there were multiple minor deficiencies, but nothing bad enough to ruin the vacation.

I feel the owner should have clarified that it was a shared dock. The info online made it seem that it was secluded, however we had to walk through our neighbors yard to get to the water and dock. Also, it was so close to the neighbors that we felt bad having a conversation outside in the fire pit. Overall we had a good time though. The owner was super nice.

Beautiful Property
The location was perfect, especially if you own a boat. You access to Tea Lake and another waterway in Big Chute. The cottage was lovely with all of the amenities and functional air-conditioning which was key! Overall, very nice venue for a friend outing or a family!

Amazing Experience!
The owners of the place are wonderful! The cottage is cozy and the area is BEAUTIFUL, definitely my type of place. We had a great time exploring the area including Big Chute which is just down the road and there is a free boat launch just a few minutes down the road for six mile lake. Also loved relaxing by the personal bonfire every evening. Would 100% recommend for a relaxing getaway

I rented this cottage for myself, my children and grandchildren. We had a perfect week. My grandson caught his first fish. My granddaughter got brave enough to jump off the dock with no puddle jumper. We spent perfect lazy days floating in the lake, picnicking by the doc , exploring and relaxing. The cottage is simple but perfect for what we needed. Roasting marshmallows and or hot dogs over the campfire every night my grandchildren have lifetime memories to cherish. I would happily return again.

Not what is advertises
The beach is only about 10 feet long and shared with three cottages. Led to believe it would be secluded, which it is not, and a private beach and dock. Not good for swimming or fishing.

What a great place! Very cozy and comfortable. The view out the window is fantastic! Its located within 30 minutes to several places; skiing, snow shoeing, wineries, conservation areas. We had a perfect day for cross country skiing at Wye Marsh about 30 minutes from the cottage. A visit here again in the summer is on my bucket list!Our hosts were very friendly and quick to respond to any emails I sent requesting information prior to our stay. Highly recommend The Hummingbird Tea Lake Cottages.
