My brothers, Dad, and I had a wonderful week here. The property has a fantastic northern exposure that's great for stargazing. The lake and surrounding terrain are beautiful. The cabin is classic and well cared-for. 10/10 would recommend

The owners came by when we arrived and dropped off the homemade bread which was lovely. The road into the cottage is single lane and very rough and scary in places. Don’t arrive after dark!! The cottage is very old and in very poor shape. There are no bunk beds as described in the write up which left us without enough beds and parents bunking with kids. Only one toilet- bathroom is extremely small. There is a leak in the kitchen pipes that leaves a large pool of water on the counter. The fire stove for heating was very challenging. The list of what was expected for us to clean was lengthy including cleaning the oven. So our final day was spent cleaning instead of enjoying the fishing and swimming. We enjoyed fishing, campfires and swimming and kayaking. The kids really enjoyed playing in the woods. It is a beautiful spot and sunsets were spectacular. I would recommend serious repairs before continued rental and no more than 5 people as there isn’t enough seating at the dining table beyond that.

A very nice week. Looking forward to coming back next year.

If you like quiet, privacy and scenic lake views, wildlife (beavers, turtles, loons, woodpeckers, humming birds) this is the place for you. Sat has lots of noisy neighbours singing Karaoke and rocking out (til 11:30 pm) but all other nights are quiet. There is no bunk bed, a double instead. The inside is quite rustic (foundation concerns/sloping floors, wonky accordion doors, electricity not to code), the outside is ideal for swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing and boating. Would definitely come again. Beds are comfortable and all appliance work great.

Some reviewers have described this cottage as rustic. This cottage is not rustic, it is dilapidated. The appliances do function, but the walls, floors, doors, minuscule bathroom, cupboards and fittings are in very poor condition due to age. The walls and floors are extremely old and have tilted in different directions and separated in places. For example, the set of doors in the the East-West interior wall has not tilted down as far as its West end has subsided. The owners have filled the resulting gap between the doors and the door frame on each side with fibre glass insulation, which remains visible and partly coated with paint. Prospective renters should ask for a picture of the bathroom. Other condition flaws are too numerous to mention.

Great, great location - literally at the end of the road sticking out into the lake. You will need to carry everything about 30 yards over a small knoll. Not for the wheelchair or mobility challenged folks. Hosts live near by and are super responsive. Busy lake, but a very nice lake with lots of areas to explore. Need to bring your own drinking water and be prepared for a cottage your grandfather used to own in the 60's. Kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need. No wifi, but excellent cell service as there is a tower at one end of the lake.

This is a wonderful rustic cottage; all that you need; with charm in spades and a moving history. The property is incredible...rock, trees, water and a little sand. Southern Muskoka scenery! The lake is quite interesting with arms that run off and touching the Queen Elizabeth II Wildland Provincial Park in areas. We canoed the perimeter, a leg a day, during our stay. You do overlook the lake access point across the bay and on summer weekends, it might be busy but September was glorious. The boat of choice...pontoons. The hosts, who cottage on the point of the island just across the channel, are friendly and informative...and their love for this property comes across. All in all, if you're looking for a real cottage experience and like "quirks", this is a gem. We loved our time spent. B&D, Barrie, Ontario

Had a great time with the family, fishing, hiking, boating, tubing and wake boarding! Beautiful location and scenery! Thanks Paul and June! The bread was great!
