We were all disappointed with the bay of water. Not possible to swim. The use of a paddle boat and canoe, was helpful.

We had the time of our life. We rented the cottage to unwind and go hiking. Oh boy did we unwind. The veranda is simply heaven. You come out in the morning with a coffee and look over the lake. The location is amazing. We are not really water sport people but we used the canoe and the paddle boat and did a few loops around the nearby islands. The cottage has everything you need. Brand new bath room, fully equipped kitchen, even books and games. Its so cosy and homey, you don’t want to leave. Everything was very clean. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. Thanks Lee and Bruce.

The cottage was well equipped with all the comforts of home - including a tv and vhs tapes to watch when the weather turned. My kids loved swimming and exploring the property. The wildlife was amazing! Couldn’t ask for a more beautiful location. The managers were very easy to talk to and addressed any questions or concerns we had.

Location was great for a quiet getaway. Cottage has been partially renovated after storm damage last year. Bathroom is new. We enjoyed relaxing on the screen porch - our favourite spot to do jigsaw puzzles and listen to birdsong. Water has some weeds, so we did not swim, but we are not big swimmers anyway. We enjoyed canoeing - the location is perfect for that. Host was very friendly, and quickly dealt with any issues that came up. We would definitely consider coming back next year. Unfortunately we cannot recommend vrbo to anyone, as we had numerous problems with them, but once we were able to communicate with the host directly everything turned out fine.

This was an amazing property. My family really enjoyed our time there. Very clean and lots of space. Would definitely recommend!

This was the perfect week-long getaway for our little family. The cottage was super clean and had all the amenities that you could ask for in a cabin. WE had a 4-year-old and an 18-month-old and they both had a blast. Cozy stay with an amazing lakefront view!

What an amazing property, right on the water with the most gorgeous view. Lots of water toys to play with and board games for rainy days. Fire pit right on the water and even an indoor fireplace in case it gets chilly. What more could you ask for? Hopefully we get a chance to come again.

Love this traditional cottage and it’s screened in sunroom. Beautiful sunrises, and awesome visits from local wildlife. :)

This property is exactly as described. A true cottage. Nothing fancy but well equipped and comfortable. Situated on a bay off of the main section of Stoney Lake, it is very quiet and relaxing. The water is too weedy for swimming right in front of the cottage in our humble opinion but we are city folk and not used to swimming in lake water. There are lots of places to swim around the lake with Burleigh Falls only a 10 min boat ride away. We brought our own tinny and small motor but the kids also enjoyed the canoe and paddle boat. This is a beautiful property on a point so you get sun most of the day. You can have a coffee on the dock and watch the fish and move over to the fire pit area on the point for evening drinks. There are a few golf courses in the area and the road into the cottage allows for a 5k walk/run out to the highway and back. You can cycle around Stoney Lake. Its about 60k. Half of the ride is on a fairly busy road but with a decent shoulder. Best place for groceries is in Lakefield about 20 mins away. There is also a small convenience store about 5/7 min drive that has some basic essentials and is licenced for liquor and beer. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Tall Pines. Bruce and Lee were friensly, helpful and responsive to any questions. Thanka for allowing us to enjoy some family time on your beautiful property

Our family had a great time at Tall pines! Everything you need is there, and if you need something there are stores a 5 min drive away. The kids loved catching fish after fish all day long off the dock.

Had our grandson, having the use of a rowboat, canoe and kayak let us enjoy the surrounding the beautiful area liked that there was a fire pit that our grandson loved and also gave us some fun fishing. We rated this experience a 5 star. The owners were kind and very helpful. We would love to return next year for 2 weeks.

We spent a week in this beautiful and peaceful place. So nice to get away from the big city. I highly recommend it.

Bruce & Lee were very helpful & accommodating!

Tall Pines was everything we had hoped it would be and more! The kids loved jumping off the dock to swim, the fishing was great, the accommodations were terrific and the overall setting of this cottage was perfect! We loved every minute of it!

No surprises with this 1960s vintage waterfront cottage located in a secluded bay on Stoney Lake. In addition to my wife and I who stayed for two weeks, we had four adults plus a six month old and dog visiting for several days. The cottage and bunkie worked out very well - bedrooms nice size, bunkie comfortable, nice screened-in porch, large living room/dining area. The kitchen was well-equipped with microwave, coffeemaker, full refrigerator and chest freezer. The water was not potable which was a challenge at times, but the hot water was VERY hot (suitable for washing dishes) and never ran out. We also appreciated the “library” at the cottage filled with information on the Kawarthas in general, plants, birds and other wildlife of Canada. Lee and Bruce were very responsive to our infrequent requests and unobtrusive in their use of the dock as access to their island property. The paddle boat and rowboat were unavailable at the time of our visit, but we thoroughly enjoyed the canoe exploring the lake and nearby Fairy Lake Island.

Tall Pines comes as advertised! My family spent just under a week at Tall Pines in late august. The beds were comfy, shower was great, and there were lots of boats to enjoy. Lee and Bruce were clear about what to expect and we would definitely return. The only drawback was the lake was filled with a lot of algae because of a warm winter & spring but we were warned of this ahead of time. We still enjoyed swimming and could paddle out a little ways for clearer waters.
