The cottage was exactly as described and honestly I felt it was much nicer than the photos show. Super clean, large and more than our family of four needed. The small beach was perfect for my Little’s and it’s shallow for a while which didn’t leave me worrying about the kids walking in and hitting a drop off. I would recommend water shoes if you don’t like mucky bottoms. There was loads of sand toys, noodles, floaties and life jackets which never left us bored. Gorgeous view of the lake and very private. The cottage was spotless and the laundry was life changing with two small kids. The fully stocked kitchen was great but we BBQ’d almost every night. Dana and Ilan left us a s’mores kit which was very thoughtful. The cottage had more than we needed and we will be booking again next summer, for 2 weeks instead of just one!

Excellent In everything

We had a lovely time at the cottage. It was immaculate, lots of space, accommodated all 7 of us very well. Kitchen was well-stocked, beds were comfortable, the view of the lake from the cottage was incredible - easily the best part of our stay. The only downside was due to uncontrollable circumstances - due to recent poor weather and high water levels, the beach area was unusable for our little ones (toddlers) which was unfortunate as the private beach was the main reason we booked this location - but there were some nice beaches with a 30-minute drive from the cottage which we used. Dana was wonderful - she always replied promptly and even left a smores kit for us as a welcome present which we enjoyed immensely! Would definitely recommend - just keep in mind the changing nature of the beach if you have little ones :) Still a wonderful stay overall!

Absolutely an amazing cottage. The cottage itself was modern, clean and fully stocked. The lake was clean and great for swimming. The whole family had a great time!

We had the best time at the cottage! This was our first vacation into the world since the pandemic began, and I cannot even explain in words how grateful I am to have found this cottage. It was the nature boost we all needed! A group of best friends joined my husband and I for a week away at the most welcoming cottage we've ever rented. The cottage was immaculate, the collection of cookware and serving ware was perfect (we cooked a lot) and the rooms were all very cozy and comfortable. We had a quiet night at the campfire, morning coffee on the dock and great walks through the amazing autumn colours. Dana was an amazing host! We had all the information we needed before heading up, and everything was exactly as described. I want to give 1000 stars because 5 doesn't seem like nearly enough. Many many thanks for a spectacular week away and the best Friendsgiving trip we could have ever imagined.

Dana’s cottage was everything we were looking for. We spent a quiet week enjoying the views from the cottage and dock morning, noon and night. The cottage was spotless and very well equipped. Looking forward to returning next year. Thank you Dana!!

We enjoyed a week-long, early September family vacation at Dana's cottage that included three generations. Description of the location, cottage and amenities was accurate. The lake was quiet and the undeveloped shoreline adjacent to the cottage was a delight to view from the dock or the deck, providing a peaceful setting to relax and enjoy time together. Thanks Dana for being a great host to our vacation.

Exceptionally clean, with an amazing view of the calm glistening lake. Had everything you would expect from a cottage, but so much more. It felt familiar, cozy and our kids loved every minute! We hiked the surrounding area, enjoyed the small sandy beach and pedal boat, canoe and paddle boards. We are so happy to have found this gem and hope to return next year! Thank you!

Had a great stay. The cottage faces west so wonderful for sunsets on the dock and a shallow sandy beach area for small children. The cottage was spic and span upon arrival and is well equipped. Would definitely recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The waterfront was exactly what we were looking for – perfect for our little ones! We had a great time canoeing and paddle boarding around the lake. Looking forward to returning next year!

Dana's cottage vacation spot was more beautiful than the pictures and the location was perfect. We had trouble getting the TV on and called Dana later in the evening and she was very gracious to help us out. The beautiful site from the dock or front porch, with crown land all to the left, and Cherry Island directly across was stunning. Our family enjoyed every minute entertaining the adults and the children with a variety of activities. We all enjoyed the canoe, 2 paddles boards, the padel boat, and lots of swimming. You were able to get around the whole lake to adventure, fish and swim, and sit in the Muskoka chairs to enjoy the view and sunsets. Our grandchildren were able to fish from the dock, enjoy the pedal boat, catch tadpoles, listen to the lunes, and enjoy the ducks visit. They also enjoyed the hike from the smaller water fall to the larger water fall where you can sit in the water below. There is the Bent River General Store where you can get everything you need and the cabbage rolls and perogies were delicous. On Saturday they have a farmers market that has everything from fruit, veggies, home cooked meals, arts, crafts, jewellry, wood carvings, baking goods, meat, cheese, live music, and much more. For fine dining you have the famous Windermere and the Crossroads reataurants to enjoy a delicious meal and walk around. There is a variety of hiking trails in the area, Santas Village, and man parks and cities to advenure. Dana was very kind to leave us a gift bag of marshmellow, chocolates and wafers, to enjoy smores over the bomfire! Thankyou Dana for letting us enjoy your wonderful cottage with all the many great memories. The Jarosz Family

We loved this cottage! It had everything we were looking for - enough space, lovely dock, canoe and paddle boards. The swimming was great. The cottage was very clean and well laid-out for our 3-generation group.

Very attractive and comfortable property on a quiet lake with excellent swimming . Great host .

What a fantastic getwaway on high lake! The cottage is perfectly positioned on the lake and is one of the best lots. The sand entry is wonderful and it is deep enough for our boat off the dock. The crown land and rocks on the left are both picturesque and give lots of privacy. The cottages on the right are close but everyone was respectful. The bay where the cottage sits is warm and the bugs are almost non-existent due to the breeze always blowing in from the lake. The cottage itself is well equipped, clean and the view from the deck is amazing! Sun all day and beautiful evenings eating on the deck. What more can you ask for! This is an absolute 5 * place and we would rent it again without hesitation! The owners were very responsive. Thanks so much Dana!!

This cottage was exactly as advertised. Wonderful location on a quiet lake. The canoe, pedal boat, and paddle boards were great for exploring the lake. Swimming was great off the dock or walk in from the beach with a nice sandy bottom. The cottage had all of the amenities needed: toaster oven, Keurig, bbq, all utensils etc. For rainy days the satellite tv, DVD’s, and board games kept us busy. Bed was comfortable for a good sleep. Cottage was very clean and modern. We had a relaxing stay!

Dana was a welcoming and accommodating host. Her cottage was perfect for our family. Our boys loved the bunk beds, fishing off the dock, going for paddles in the canoe and splashing around in the shallow water off the beach. Dana was welcoming and accommodating. I couldn’t recommend a better host!

My partner and I stayed for 4 days and just loved it. Everything was spotless and ready for us. Even though it was chilly, we enjoyed the canoe and waked the local trails. There’s lots to do in nearby towns as well. I would highly recommend this property!
