We recently enjoyed a stay at this lovely cottage on Lake of Bays, and it truly was a fantastic getaway. The location is absolutely perfect—right on the lake with breathtaking views. The beach area was a hit with the kids; it was clean and well-maintained, providing a great space for them to play and enjoy the water. The dock was nice and well-maintained, making it an ideal place to relax by the lake and catch some rays. The cottage itself was charming and comfortable and provided a cozy atmosphere. However, the bathroom could use a bit of attention. There were some mold spots, and the shower had a slight leak that could use fixing. Additionally, the floor tiles were starting to lift, which was a bit of a nuisance. Despite these minor issues, the overall stay was enjoyable, and the beautiful surroundings more than made up for the bathroom's shortcomings. If these few details are addressed, this place would be perfect! One of the highlights was being able to explore the lake with our boat daily—such a wonderful way to experience the natural beauty of the area. Just a heads-up: the grounds are a bit rocky, which can make navigation tricky in the dark. We recommend bringing a flashlight or, even better, hang some string lights from the trees. The location and amenities more than made up for the minor shortcomings.

Sheldon is a great guy who made sure we were well taken care of and was quick to responded to all our questions. The views from the cottage from the large table/dining area are absolutely serene. The large windows give a feeling of being one with the beautiful natural landscape. The dock has a spectacular unspoiled view of a forested island, and because of the location between two little bays (on a little peak of the coastline) you can barely notice the neighbours and it’s private. The kitchen is well equipped, there are wooden floors throughout and the place has a warm and inviting energy about it. It is a true cottage in a spectacular location where you can unwind and get away from busy life. If you value an amazing location, close to Huntsville and area, want to spend quality time with family and friends, this is a little gem for you.

Stunning property- unspoiled natural beauty and a classic Muskoka combination of trees, rocks, and water. Lovely views from the cozy, comfortable cottage, which had everything we needed for the week. Great lake for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. Small sandy beach was a nice bonus and would be great for little kids. Excellent communication from owner throughout. Overall, a wonderful place, especially if you are looking for a true cottage experience!
