"Our family had such a special time together at the Falcon's Nest. The house was immaculate, there were special touches across the home, lovely soaps, chocolates, and the most incredible charcuterie board we've ever seen! Preet was so attentive to all of our needs, and we couldn't have asked for a better visit. Thank you!"

"To begin Holly was amazing! I’ve never booked with vrbo and she made it so easy for me, I requested an early check in and she got back to me right away, fortunately on this day she was able to accommodate the early check in. The cottage is clean, newly renovated and has a great view of the lake. We enjoyed the dock and fire pit tremendously. This cottage has everything you need for a couple, family or small group of friends. I highly recommend Holly and any of her rentals."

"My husband and I and another couple had a great holiday in the Muskokas. Our host, Loren was easy to communicate with and very helpful. The cottage was spacious, clean and well equipped. The bedrooms were very comfortable. We especially liked the boat dock with bunky across the road from the cottage. We had easy access to all three of lakes. Port Carling and Port Sandfield was close with lots of amenities. The pictures are accurate of what the cottage looks like. We would rent this place again...

"We loved staying at the little cottage! Perfect for 2 adults, 2 kids and a dog. The fenced in yard was amazing for security of our dog as the road is very busy. The listing should say it provides a clothes drying rack, not a clothes dryer as we expected access to an electric one. With 2 girls attending wake surf camp 5 days straight it was challenging to get the towels dry. Excellent location close to all 3 lakes and shopping."

"We were very happy with the place. Peaceful, nice, and close to everything. Well supplied kitchen, good barbecue, and way more beds than we needed. Place has a basketball hoop, a volleyball court, and enough green space to place soccer with a small group of people. The river is good for swimming, shallow in the shore but deep as you jump from the dock. Everything was clean and in working order. Thanks to the owners for allowing us to stay at this place."

The place was exceptionally clean, light-filled with comfortable beds and seating. The kitchen was very well appointed and even had sharp knives. The bathroom had a large tub and shower as well as a stackable w/d in its closet, very useful. The host was pleasant, accommodating and responsive and lives nearby. It was great to rent where the owner...
