We were a total of 12 with a grandma, 3 kids, some friends and 2 dogs. Lots of sleeping options and a good open area in the main house for meals, playing and hanging out. Many options for fun from canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, waterskiing, tubing and just swimming. We also used the basketball court, ping pong table and hot tub. Close enough to the marina and nice spot on the lake. Coordination was a little harder than normal with Covid but Marla and Martha were very helpful. We’d definitely go again.

We had a really great stay at the cottages on the island! What a beautiful property. Thank you for sharing it with us. We truly enjoyed the relaxation and the excellent fishing. The graduating seniors made memories to last a life time. Your cottage provided a week of connecting and memory making. We wished we could have stayed another week. You are blessed to own this property. Thanks so much! PS - one year later we are still talking our time on the island.

Great location! Lovely Host! Comfortable cottage! I would definitely recommend a stay here, particularly for a large group or family (12-15 people).

This vacation is for those wishing a true Ontario lake cottage experience. Bob's Lake is wonderful, very beautiful vistas and sunsets, relatively underdeveloped (compared to the Muskoka's), This compound is relatively old with a long staircase to the water (70+ steps) and complicated septic system. If you are looking for the convenience of road access, new construction, air conditioning, true flush toilets, etc., I would urge you to consider the other properties offered by the owner. I've toured them and they are quite modern. Back to Badour Island. The main cottage is stunning with an absolutely magisterial view from the main bedroom. You feel like you are living in the forest with 360 degree views and multiple screened windows. The main section of the cottage provides a great living area with couches, kitchen, and table. The main area of this section can be used to play ping pong or, as we did, to hang the wonderful hammock. The other two bedrooms are nice as well. The guest cottage has a different orientation so has different views to the West. Also a very nice cottage with small bedroom with bunk beds and a great bedroom on the second floor with it's own balcony. The tree house is cute but we didn't use it -- would be suitable for one or two additional guests. There are three septic systems on the property. They are not hard to maintain properly but do require a bit of attention. We encountered no problems with this. The water is fabulous for swimming and is immediately very deep so perfect for diving. We loved the waterfront area with its decks, boats, and shed (with beer fridge). Marla was a great host who helped us through some of the minor annoyances of country living (like a power outage when we arrived) and ensured our stay was pleasurable. The surrounding area is fun to explore and there is a decent selection of groceries and other items in nearby communities. All in all, a very relaxing vacation in a very nice compound on a stunning lake.
