We had a great week with our daughter, son in law and grandchildren. The place is lovely and lots of care has gone into the cottage. Sunsets are spectacular and the fire pit area is comfy and inviting. The sandpit was well used by the kids. We lacked for nothing. The deck is fantastic. Beautiful views.

Everything was fantastic, great place and beautiful location. Kid friendly, with lots of toys, high chair and baby gates. Zero complaints!

Beautiful cottage and location. Cottage had everything we needed. Amazing sunsets, crystal clear water. Owner very accommodating. Definitely would like to return.

We booked this cottage week in September 2020...almost a year in advance. We haven't done this before so we weren't sure what to expect. Now that it's over and we're back to the daily grind, it's hard to put into words how happy we all were with the entire cottage experience!! Brad Locking is amazing and has thought of everything to make the cottage guests feel comfortable and enjoy their time there. He's very nice and made himself available if necessary. The cottage wants for nothing. It's VERY clean and comfortable!! We went swimming every day in beautiful Georgian Bay (very clean, clear water) using a variety of water crafts supplied...kayak, canoe, paddle-boards, life-preservers, pool noodles etc. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed with modern conveniences. The furniture was comfortable. The grounds well taken care of and landscaped nicely. I could go on on on!! I would not hesitate to rent this cottage again and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others!! What a great introduction to cottage life!!!! Brad & Craig and David & Sue

A great cottage for family to get away to. Has lots of toys for the kids to enjoy, along with amazing views of the Georgian Bay Sunset. Brad was great to deal with just a quick phone call or text away if needed.

We have been to many cottages over the years and this was hands down the best one. Brad was so friendly and very easy to get in touch with. The cottage is stunning and clean clean clean! I was very impressed. It has everything you need inside and out. Lots of toys for big and small. We enjoyed evening fires by the water and the hammock. The water is crystal clear and beautiful for any water activity. Already booked our next stay!

overall good, house can hear every movement between the floors.

My husband and I, along with our 3 year old and 7 month old stayed at Brad's cottage for a week and we absolutely loved it. First off, the view of Georgian Bay is just spectacular. The water is several beautiful shades of blue and you can't help but start to relax as soon as you arrive. There are lots of great outdoor toys for kids, our son entertained himself for hours in the sand pile!The cottage itself is well equipped including things for the baby (gates, booster seat, high chair and pack and play). The beds were comfortable and the appliances were new. Owen Sound is a quick drive away for anything you need which is really convenient. The cottage is situated in a great location and is nice and quiet. Brad is a fantastic host, very communicative and accommodating. He takes a lot of pride in his family cottage and it shows. We would recommend staying at Brad's cottage and we hope to be back again for another great week (or two)!

This cottage not only has amazing sunsets but views and sounds of the bay that will put all your stresses behind you. We stayed here for a week in June with our two girls both under three. The host indicated that the cottage has pretty much everything you need and did not disappoint. As a mom typically does I over packed just in case, but this time I didn’t need to. There was books, toys, colouring, sand toys, water shoes, lifejackets etc for the kids, everything they needed to keep them entertained. For adults it was the same, kayak, canoe, paddle board, wind surfer, hammock and more. There are two cottages on either side but private (they have put up two privacy sections and have planted trees) we never once felt an issue with privacy. The road that the cottage is on is very private and we found ourselves going for daily walks. Our stay was just what we needed after being in lockdown from covid for so long. Our eldest daughter is already talking about going back next year. The hosts are amazing and are in contact with you right away if you have any questions etc. I highly recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful time at the Locking Cottage! The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Our kids had a blast in the bunk room. The view is beautiful, and the private hammock area was a favourite spot. Although the water was cold (early June), our kids were in the water and had fun collecting rocks. As someone mentioned it is very rocky, so water shoes are a must. Host was very responsive and helpful when we had questions for him. When bringing your linens, don't forget things like wash cloths, hand towels, dish cloths, etc. There are no linens aside from pillows at the cottage. We also brought toilet paper and paper towel - there was some provided but we used up what was there before our week was up. We would love to return again!!!

A lovely cottage right on the lake. It’s a perfect base to explore the Bruce, or just relax. Brad the owner was extremely helpful with suggestions for places to go off the beaten track.
