My family thoroughly enjoyed our time at Papa Tom’s. The property was so clean and well organized, and was stocked way past the point of what it said online it came fully equipped with everything we needed, and it was very comforting. We also found travelling with our neurodivergent son Was very easy And felt very much like. He felt safe and secure, which made us feel safe and secure. With Shelly was easy and smooth and she was very helpful. We definitely look forward to coming back next summer.

Location and hosts are 5 stars. Cottage is located very close to the beach and marina which was very important for us. Consider bringing lots of fresh water for drinking and rinsing purposes. We will be back.

It was a great experience. Everything was very good. Very cozy, lake access just walkable, nothing to worry about. Had a great family time.

The property was cute but you couldn't open most of the windows because the clips were broken to operate them. There was a big bulge in the floor between the dining room and the kitchen that I kept tripping on and hurting myself. It was clean and stocked but you had to replace anything you used even though it said it was supplied in the rental add. Good thing we brought our own stuff to
use. We brought bottled water and that was good because even though it said water was supplied you had to replace it. My husband and I cannot carry a 5 gal jug of water from the marina. But we were ok with our own water. So be aware if you choose to rent this cottage. The area as very populated so if you are looking for a quiet place to rest you need to know that it is very noisy and busy. The road is heavily travelled with trucks and cars - they were quite loud from early morning until evening.

We really loved Uncle Tom's Cabin. The cottage had everything we needed and was in great condition. The beach is a short 2 min walk and our kids, ages 1.5 and 4 absolutely loved it and so did we. Highly recommend this booking! The owners were incredibly responsive and the neighbours were really nice and helpful. Great memories were made and we are very happy :)

For the first time in years, my husband and I felt like we were actually on vacation. We were able to bring our two golden retreivers, Jewel & Marlie who are 13 & 10. Only being 1.5 hrs from home but you are far enough out of your area that you feel miles away. You would never know from the hwy that there was a small community of cottages/homes in this location. We are definitely booking again for next year.
Absolutely a beautiful location, close to Gravenhurst, Bracebridge & Huntsville. Even did some Christmas shopping while we were there... See you next year Shelly & Scott....

The property was amazing! Very clean and cozy. The property manager addressed any questions I had regarding the property promply. We had an amazing family getaway! We got to go to Santa's Village and the Elmvale Zoo! Lots of activities around to explore and have fun with the kids!
Thank you so much for a great cabin experience. We will absolutely be returning 😀

We killed a number of ANTS in the cottage. They seem to be able to get under the outside door from the kitchen . I was also surprised there was no fire extinguisher.
It should have been made clear that one must supply their own bed pillows.

This was our first time staying in a cottage with our 2 and 5 year old and it was stunning! The beach is a 30 sec walk and it's a lovely spot.
The cottage is beautiful and so cozy, it flet like home to us.
We love how the cottage had everything we needed! So we didn't have to pack much.
Shelly and Scott are amazing people and very helpful, it was super easy to get ahold of them if we needed anything!
It was a pleasure to stay at uncle Tom's and we hope we can again soon!

No complaints here. First time cottage renters. We didn’t know what to bring or expect, so we brought extra. They had everything we could ever have worried about plus more. We hope to come back next year!

Had a great stay here, cottage was well equipped and had lots of space and things to do nearby. Went fishing, hikes, boats, canoes. Beach is literally a 2 min walk from the cottage. Could see all the stars at night! Had bbq and full nights of fire. Highly recommened, location is a gem :)
3.0
The cottage was very clean & easy to get to. However there is no direct lake view as advertised in the ad. To get to the lake was a good 5 min walk from the cottage. We were a bit disappointed there were only enough logs for 1 night and we ended up buying more for the 2nd night. However communication wasn’t too difficult with the host.

Property managers were responsive and quickly dealt with a few glitches. Overall experience was good. The kids really enjoyed it.

We had a fantastic time at the cabin. It was very close to the beach and the lake was perfect. Shelly and Scott were great hosts and every time we had a question they answered quickly. Zero complaints. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

The owners of this cottage, Shelley and Scott were wonderful to deal with. The cottage was extremely clean, well appointed, cosy, lots of room, and only 10 minutes to Gravenhurst, which is a pretty town. The beach is a 3 minute walk, and the water is very clear and warm! We LOVED our stay, and are booking for 2 weeks next summer. We can’t wait. We loved everything about our stay, except it wasn’t long enough!!! Thank you Shelley and Scott.

Great little trip away everything was super convenient, had a blast just wish the beds were a little better but overall great trip! Thank you Dunlops 😊

The satellite TV was a lot of fun, the fire pit set up is very nice, and the dock two minutes walk away is just beautiful for a moonlight stroll. The cottage is also very first to Gravenhurst, which my spouse and I explored for the first time.
However, I’m not sure how well the place is cleaned between guests because we found tons of pet hair when we’d sweep at night and there was pet hair on a bunch of cushions in the front room. Also, there were mice - we ended up using the second fridge on the property as a ‘pantry’ but that didn’t deter them from scurrying around and making noise at night and leaving surprises for us in the morning.
Also, the wi-fi cut off after a stormy day early into our stay, so that was frustrating, with no fix despite texts from the owner saying he’d check the antenna, etc.

Easy to find, easy to communicate with managers. Check-in process a breeze and they were very accommodating to us on short-notice. Cottage is as described - great for a rustic stay (this is not a "glamour" cottage - but also that's not what we wanted). Lake is great to swim - and literally 2 minutes walk away.

We found that the cottage was good for a group who liked varied activities. There was easy access to sightseeing, the lake and groceries. Scott was very helpful with any questions we had. We enjoyed the peddle boat. It would be helpful if directions for parking included turning down Nagaya street to get to back parking at the cottage.
