About this cottage rental
Basic 4 BR cottage nestled in the woods. 2 BR are on the upper floor and 2 in basement (with walkout). There's a large kitchen, living room/dining area, and a basic bathroom with tub. There is also a large deck that has a table & deck chairs (and a barbecue).
This is not a luxury rental and the price is reflective of your access to the private sandy beach across the street and shared only with other renters and family

The Sky House is part of a compound known as Tondakea Lodge. which consists of three 2 bedroom cabins, one 4 bedroom house, and one 2 bedroom house; all bookable through VRBO (See bottom of this description).
-
Located across the street from our private beach, at the edge of a 27 acre forest, the Tondakea Lodge once was the home and school of Franz Johnston, of the Group of Seven artists, and later became a resort in the 50s. Although updates have been made over the years the buildings still retain their original charm and rustic feel.

Great cottage, 4 bedroom with a nice living room and kitchen and big deck. It's got everything you need and its location is 11/10. You can't beat this beach, is my favorite beach ever. Balm Beach down the road and very friendly locals. This is an older cottage and it does not try to impress with new fancy decorations but it's nice and has everything a normal family would want.
4.0 / 5.0
We had a very comfortable stay. The cabin is not fancy, but has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We appreciated the easy access to a stunning beach, thoughtful additions like pool noodles and a beach umbrella, and the quick distance to town conveniences. It would have been helpful to know about the strong sulfur smell in the water, as that was a bit unpleasant to deal with in the showers. It would also be great to have access to more beach umbrellas as there is no shade on the beach. Overall a great stay and good value for money.
5.0 / 5.0
This year our annual multigenerational trip brought us to the is cottage that met every one of our needs.
1. 4 bedrooms for all our sleep needs
2. Stunning, quiet beach access within steps of our door
3. Functional kitchen for the cooking we felt like doing
4. Close to old school fun (go carting, mini golf)
5. Clean and comfortable
This is a true simple cottage that had everything we were looking for and we are so happy for this bit of bliss and memory making this summer!

Just a normal rustic cottage
Me, my family really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was ok. Rustic outside but we were all comfortable. If there is one thing that off in this cottage is the water so make sure you bring drinking water other than that… we had the best time. 12-15 mins to walmart in case you forget something
The beach/view is across the road and we really felt at peace. We had our own area, quiet just how we like it. We’ve been to too many beaches and this one of the best. Fine sandy beach and water was just perfect.

Great Beach Area
The cabin is what it is. Read the description. What is special about this place is the beautiful beach access and the people who run the place.

Amazing beach across the road
This place is amazing simply because of the beach access included with the cabin. The cabin is a cabin, so make sure you set your expectations, however it has what you need to enjoy the beautiful sandy beach across the road! Recommended.

Good budget stay
Good value - relatively inexpensive place and simple accommodations to enjoy a great beach and surroundings. The cottage is simple and older, but is good value for the rental rate. Willie is great and accommodating for any questions and check in/out. Private beach is wonderful!! Everyone is super friendly. Be aware that the water is “sulphur” smelling due to well water, so bring your own drinking water.

Family friendly cottage
We had an amazing time at this cottage. Location is fantastic with a private beach, friendly locals and a lot of kid friendly activities in the area. Cottage is exactly as shown so no surprises when we got there. The lake is clean and sand is beautiful. What more could you ask for?

We enjoyed our stay at the Sky Lodge. Ben was great and helpful, any minor concerns we had were addressed right away. The beach was amazing and beautiful, I think we spent the majority of our trip there. The cabin was fine, rustic but comfortable, as advertised.

Balm Beach stay
Rustic, as advertized, clean with all essentials. Beautiful Beach with crystal clean water. Path from road to beach breath taking. Attentive accommodating owners. We rented two cottages to make room for 8 grand kids who had a lot of fun. so glad to not worry about sand on carpets or sofa's

This is a great basic cottage with everything you need. Spacious with access to a lovely beach.
This was our best cottage rental experience. One of the reviews cited dissastisfaction with the bathroom but everything is clean and is only the result of the minerals in the water. The very spacious cottage is across from a lovely private beach and a ten-minute walk from Balm Beach, a bustling little vacation town with its own nice public beach. Also close to walking and biking trails. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare your own meals. Gracious hosts. Will definitely return!!

Very basic
This is not a cottage, but a camp.
The bathroom isn't show in the pictures, and I understand why. The shower is discusting. One of the wall is broke and moisture starts. The water smell rust, my blond hair turn a little orange, as the shower wall.
The private beach is good. We had to borrow a rake to clean it.
We had the impression to pay too much for what it is. Won't return at this place. This place needs some repairs!
5.0 / 5.0
Beautiful spot!
Another wonderful stay at the Sky House. Great space for our group; steps from a beautiful private sandy beach. The lovely family who owns the property went above and beyond to ensure we had a great visit. It's our second year in a row staying here and we'd definitely go again!

Last minute mid week rental
This was a last minute thought when I had some visitors from out of town. Given cottage country books up quickly I felt pleased to find somewhere for the four of us to stay. The Skyhouse is listed as a basic cottage - it is very basic indeed, which I was OK with going into the trip. Unfortunately, " poor shape" really should be the description. Floor tiles popping up, rusted fridge and appliances, water damage in bathroom. We were given half jug of drinking water, which did not cover us for 3 days and we could not drink tap water due to high sulphur and iron. It is a shame, because with a little fix up, the place could be really nice. So, for the last minute mid week price I paid, it seems overpriced for what you actually received.
Positives : private beach, walk to town and the use of the aqua lily pad were all big hits.

It was perfect.
Loved the location of the cottage and the private beach it came with. Just wish it was a little warmer. Overall had a wonderful time.
5.0 / 5.0
A beautiful place right by the water. Absolutely no complaints.
The Sky House is a beautiful home which fit the seven of us very comfortably. Even if we all wanted to sleep in separate beds, there would still be adequate room.
Outside the kitchen was a wonderful balcony and functional barbecue which made eating our meals outside a pleasure. The kitchen was fully stocked and everything worked perfectly. Along with the interior, the grounds of the property was clean, well maintained, and very inviting.
Across the road from the Sky House is the small gate leading to a private beach for renters. There's seats and tables waited for use at a pristine beach. We had an incredibly great time. The live-in neighbours who took care of the grounds were very kind an more than accommodating. I would come back to this place in a heartbeat.
