We arrived to what should have been a blissful week at a cottage. We were greeted by another family who had already moved their stuff in. As you can imagine, this was a disaster. Because we had booked through VRBO, the host told us we would have to leave. Six adults and four children under 11. We spent from 6-9:30 talking to VRBO in a Tim Horton's parking lot. No alternate Places to be found on the busiest week of the summer. No local hotels either. We had to drive back home. It was the worst experience possible. VRBO was no help as there was not one other property available. DO NOT REWARD THIS HOST by booking with him. Please consider somewhere else. To top it all off, I have stage four cancer. Another chance may not come along. This host is terrible.

The Bass Lake house was everything and more. Always something to do - from kayaking, canoeing, or relaxing on one of the many loungers. On a rainy day, curling up on the couch and watching Netflix will definitely book it again.

The cottage is in a very remote area and has a good amount of room. We were a party of 6 adults, 1 teenager & 1 child. The 2 bunkies were also a good size. The cottage had most everything we needed. I had overlooked toilet paper on the list of what to bring and there was none, so don't forget to bring some! Also, you will be surrounded by many trees and still water so be sure to bring plenty of bug spray! The mosquitoes & horse flies are thick in the evening. There is a screened in deck to sit in during Mosquitofest but put a damper on having campfires - Definitely bring full insect gear. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets, lots of family time & the sound of loons.

Great cottage! Well stocked of the essential kitchen items and outdoor activities including canoes, kayas etc. I really love the setup in the backyard with the water access especially with the little "beach" entrance to it. The bunkies were a nice addition as it is added privacy away from the main cottage if need be(ie taking care of a small child or a movie night without disturbing early sleepers). Mark is a great host - very thorough and responsive to communication. He also seems like he genuinly wants feedback so he can further improve the place, which is refreshing to see. I would absolutely love to come back to the bass Lake retreat. Thanks for hosting us, Mark!

We really enjoyed our stay. Lots of kayaks and canoes were so comfy. Lake is calm and quiet. Comfy beds. Outdoor grills were fun and great. Internet worked great and Netflix and prime all set up. Enjoyed our stay and the outdoor picnic tables were great for our birthday party. Frogs and chipmunks made for lots of entertainment for the boys.

Mark's place is a lovely peaceful place to stay. A very beautiful and quiet area. Their home is spotless and well supplied with everything. The kayaks and canoes were a wonderful addition for our visit as we utilized them many time during our stay. Loved the bunkies! My grandson throughly enjoyed the opportunity to sleep in the upper bunk of the bunky with his mom. Mark thank you, our stay at your home was a wonderful experience for all of us.

Great location for a family getaway. Cottage was well equipped and clean. The flat top grill was amazing, especially for breakfasts. Did not like the fact that we had to make a trip to town to top off the propane tanks before leaving. I’ve rented many places and this was a first for me. Loved having the bunkies, it was a great experience for the younger generation. The new couch was lovely. I have to admit that it made me nervous, especially with having young ones around. I cringed every time someone sat on it. The lake was beautiful, not too many motorized boats. Ideal location for the kids to practice their paddling skills. Neighbours were friendly and informative with local activities and lake information. Mark was quick to respond to questions and very pleasant to deal with. Would book again in the future.

We had a great stay at this cottage as a family. The seating outside was wonderful to enjoy watching people swim and to enjoy our meals together. The kitchen was well stocked and didn't need to bring anything. Lots of dishes for a a family of 12. Lots sleeping available and comfortable beds. Mark was a very responsive to any questions we had prior to the stay and during the stay. Would highly recommend this accommodation.
