Got exactly what we were expecting and hoping for. Our family spent a week here and we loved it. Very cozy, clean, and comfortable. Everyone was happy and the lake dock and pool table got a lot of use.

Nigel’s property in Port Carling is a great spot for young families, combining the feeling of being on a secluded small lake with the convenience of being in town.
Our kids loved the dock and the water and we felt safe letting them explore because of the lack of noisy boats with large wakes. The canoes on Nigel’s property were great and easy to launch (bring appropriate life jackets for children). The chiminea was a big bonus too for a safe and contained fire.
The cottage itself was clean and well appointed. Sheets and towels were provided! My kids opted to share a room, so we had lots of extra space. The pool table was a lot of fun as well. Laundry area was spacious and convenient.
Even though the road had a fair amount of traffic, we felt safe walking on the paved shoulder into town. It was nice to not have to cook and plan every meal! And it was nice to safely enjoy a cocktail at dinner since we could walk to town instead of driving.
Nigel was extremely helpful and responsive.

Great space, with lots of room for my sister and our families. We had a wonderful stay, reliving our Muskoka memories from our 20's walking to the shops in Port Carling.
I didn't realize the house was right on the 118, a super busy road, but you didn't notice it from the roomy cottage/house and didn't hear the road at all from the dock. We also liked the convenience of walking into the village for dinners, drinks and shops.
Nigel is a super responsive and friendly host with lots of great suggestions on how to make the most of our stay.

The home was very cute and as pictured are shown. The house is snug, but worked fine for vacation. Clean and picked up. Tons of games, fully equipped with kitchen, and little extras like bath soap or laudry pods. The outside is beautiful with the dock and water, there is a long steap hill to get there. The owner had GREAT communication!!! Best I have had with a rental.
My only suggestion would be to add more hooks for towels. Great stay with family and enjoyed our time.

There is room for 2 families of 3-4, it's a quick walk (<1km) to a great park for families and downtown port carling, but still feels like a true cottage. It's a quick walk down to the dock and small and quiet lake. It's a swim & canoe kind of lake, not watersports, which was perfect for our families. Swimming is good if you're ok with standard Muskoka clay bottom lakes. (Some of our group wore swimming shoes but this is very minor and didn't impact our stay at all!).

We stayed here in late October. It is a lovely property. The cottage is well kept and nicely appointed. Appreciated the linens being included that is a great perk! The lake is perfect, small and quiet. Lots of activities including canoes and board games. The property is on main road into town but inside the cottage and down by the lake there is no noticeable traffic noise. Great tips from owner we enjoyed the Hardy Lake hike. Owner was very helpful and responsive. A really great stay altogether would definitely recommend!

Nice place with lots of space and everything you need to spend vacation outdoor and indoor. Too large for just two people, but perfect for family and friends.
Plenty of kitchen facilities including spices etc.
Owner very responsive and helpful, answers came very fast plus lots of interesting tips for the area.
We would highly recommend this property

Great little getaway cottage. We were a little concerned as it was close to road and essentially in Port Carling so not quite the cottage escape but in most ways the property exceeded expectations. Place was clean, within walking distance to restaurants and on a nice quiet lake. Property owner was very responsive and helpful.

Really enjoyed the place and the surrounding area. The lake was perfect as well.
