We enjoyed our stay immensely. Great cottage, great amenities! Peaceful and quiet. Terrain is abrupt; would not recommend to people with mobility issues.

This was our second stay at the Ball cottage and we loved it just as much as the first visit. The cottage is clean, well decorated, cozy and FULLY equipped. Swimming was refreshing, nice and deep off the dock. Fishing was incredible! We caught many bass, perch, sunfish and pike! We love this cottage and will absolutely book for next summer. -Jess&Shawn

The Ball Cottage is a beautiful cottage on a beautiful property. Cottage is very well appointed, comfortable and immaculately tidy. We didn’t need for anything during our stay. The lake is beautiful, it’s deep water right off the dock which made for amazing swimming and floating! A bit steep of a climb coming up from the lake, stairs make it a bit easier. The owners were wonderful and quick to respond to any inquiries we had.

This property is fully equipped! There wasn’t anything missing. They even had lawn games set up and waiting for us. Fishing was GREAT! Right off the dock we caught plenty bass, perch, crappie, catfish and pike! Swimming was very refreshing, it’s about 30feet deep off the end of the dock. No complaints. Will absolutely book again. Only recommendation is maybe add some driving directions as the GPS took us a way that not many vehicles could get through.

We would liked to have stayed 2 weeks but sadly we had only 1 in this lovely spot. The cottage had everything we needed and more. The lake is a smaller one and kayaking during early morning, or after dinner when the water’s surface is a mirrored reflection of the lush surroundings, is a soothing exercise in meditation. We spent most of our time on the dock in the Muskoka chairs or in the water swimming and floating the day away. The climb from the water to the cottage is a challenge, but the intermittent landings are a perfect spot to catch your breath. We enjoyed early morning coffee on the deck overlooking the lake and it is the routine I will miss the most, I think. One tip for others would be to travel to and from the cottage using W. Gate Rd off of Hwy 7. Do not approach through Arden unless you like an adventure, as the road conditions (in 7/2023) along that approach are “challenging”.

Had an amazing week of swimming, kayaking, relaxing and exploring the area. Cottage was beautiful and so well-appointed - we wanted for nothing! Thanks for sharing your lovely cottage with our family.

The cottage met expectations, the surroundings were quiet, not much to do locally. Access to lake requires a certain level of fitness, due to steep incline

lovely and cozy cottage ever
