We had amazing weekend in this 2 boat houses ,amazing location just a very good relaxing place. I would definitely recommend .

Just returned from a week at this very unique property. The large boathouse has everything you need, beautiful panoramic views out all the windows, lots of nice sitting areas on the upper deck as well as the lower expanded dock area. Enjoyed the kayaks, stand up paddle board and peddle boat. Spent lots of time swimming and fishing right off the dock, also went to the other dock and used the lower and upper jumping platforms. Kids had a ball exploring around the shoreline of the whole property. Went in once for supplies in MacTier; a short drive and it has everything you need. Jane is a wonderful and attentive host, brought a refilled propane tank and some dishwashing soap within an hour of my text to her. Thanks for a fantastic vacation!

Stayed with 4 adults and an infant and enjoyed our time tremendously. Boat houses were well equipped and the beach area was perfect for our little one. Quiet bay with minimal boat traffic.

Two boathouses worked out great. It is nice to always be right at the waters edge. Canoe, paddle boards, kayaks and dive tower means there is always something to do. Great stay.

The boat houses are located in an inlet so the water was calm for our stay. We utilized the tower to jump and dive into the water which was still cold but bearable. There are kayaks, paddle boats and a canoe for your enjoyment. The main deck had a long table and a great sized sitting area overlooking the water. We had our breakfasts, lunches and dinners outside for the four days we stayed. The only disappointment I had was the shortage of toilet paper, paper towels and tissue paper. We already talked about reserving again next year.

We enjoyed our stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the BoatHouses. The place was spotless, the views were breathtaking and the quiet was welcome after all the ups and downs caused by COVID. Our visit in October limited our use of the water toys but we enjoyed our visit all the same. We'd love to return some day.

Our stay was amazing! The big boat house had everything you needed and the view was amazing! It was too cold and rainy to use the fire pit but it was really nice. The small boat house wasn't quite what we expected. The pictures make it look bigger than it is, be prepared for it to be small and rustic but it was fine.

We had a wonderful time as a family. The property is beautiful and the hosts were very gracious. We would definitely return and recommend this place for a family to enjoy.

Renting Jane and John's boathouse was a complete joy for myself and some visitors. The property is nestled between tall trees on a beautiful quiet bay of the lake. The bothouse was perfectly clean, charming and cozy with the modern conveniences you could ask for. We loved the large lovely patio to wind down on, share a meal and stargaze from at night. The hosts were so accommodating and friendly throughout our whole stay and we can't wait to return again.

A group of 6 of us spent labour day weekend here and had a great time. The cottages are even better than the pictures show, they are clean, cozy, welcoming and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, the beds are comfortable, the views and decks are great. We enjoyed using the paddle boards, kayak and canoe. Jane was easy to communicate with leading up to our stay, and to top it off, her husband took us out for a boat ride! We hope to return next summer. Thank you for making our final weekend of summer such a highlight.

Beautiful location. Tons of toys. Terrific hosts. A wonderful weekend getaway.

This was just the place we were looking for to relax and enjoy the long weekend. The boathouses are super cozy, well equipped and very clean. The two houses overlook a very quiet bay. The water is super clean and there's even a little beach where our little ones could play. The hosts let us use all sorts of water toys. We had such a lovely stay! Jane and John, you are wonderful hosts, thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us! Hope we can come back next year!

We had an amazing 10 days on the property. Both boathouses were very clean, comfy and the property itself is beautiful. The kids loved the jumping tower and the fire pit was a great place for all of us to enjoy nightly bonfires. The owners of the property stay at the larger cottage a short walk away so if you need anything they are close by. However, the larger boathouse in particular is very private and the bay in front is beautiful and calm. A wonderful spot to relax and recharge.

Various upgrades in off season most appreciated A place we hope to return to year after year

My husband and I have been renting this boat house cottage and sleeping cabin combo for the past 2 years to end our summer holidays. This Muskoka paradise is very comfortable, with all utilities such as Wi-Fi, cable TV, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and a well equipped kitchen. The charming boat houses are also nicely decorated with colorful, cottagey furniture and accessories. The bedrooms are fresh and buccolics! The perfect location make it ideal for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, or just admiring the stars over Lake Joseph.

A great vacation spot on a quiet cove on Lake Joe. The owners are very helpful and offered use of wet suits, like jackets, and a small power boat. There were 4 kayaks, 2 paddle boards and a paddle boat for our use - perfect for our family of 5 with young teenage kids. We were there in August and had 75 degree temps and water temps that were perfect for swimming. The owners make the experience easy and enjoyable. The houses are very nice, clean and updated.

we go a bit before the season is in full swing. the cove is peaceful and a place we love. the home has everything we need. we hope to be returning guests

My husband and I had a lovely time staying in the large boat house. It was well equipped and quite comfortable. Fabulous views from every window and especially the large deck off the back. Good central Muskoka location. We had a minor issue with the cleaning from the last guest not being completed when we arrived, but our hosts did a great job at trying to correct this asap. Would recommend to others!

We are travellers from Australia who were visiting friends and relatives in Ontario. We stayed here for 5 nights over the May 2 4 weekend. It is a truly beautiful cottage. We had 5 adults and 3 children and the cabin (s) easily met our needs. the view is spectacular and the boathouses (you get 2) are comfortable and very well equipped. You have the use of a myriad of water equipment including, kayaks, canoes and stand-up paddle boards. Life jackets are also supplied for the safety minded. The diving tower was a big hit for the young and the young at heart. The boathouses are on a point and you have exclusive access to this entire area. the owners have a cottage on the ridge behind you but you feel as if you have the entire area to yourself. It doesn't matter if the owners are staying. We had the pleasure of meeting them and their hospitality matched the beauty of the lake. It is a 20 minute drive to Mactier for supplies and there is a marina 5 minutes away if you would like to hire a boat etc (definitely book early as they get very busy) The boathouses are magnificent but they pale in comparison to the lake and the bay. You are in a quiet bay off of the main lake. The water is crystal clear and weed free (although a little cold when we were there). If there was an option to give 6 stars I would.
