We had an absolute fantastic time. Great location, dock is huge allowing room for all. The kayaks were a hit, we did day trips to Algonquin from here, it was the perfect spot!! Thanks for the great stay and family memories!!
We had a wonderful stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Dock is large and property is beautiful. We are definitely going to book again in the future! Thank you for great memories at your cottage.
Everything you could want for a summer getaway - great deck and bbq area, sizeable lawn area for yard games, great dock stocked with rafts, inflatables etc. be aware neighbours are close by on either side, but very friendly people!
Our family had an amazing stay at this cottage. The location is gorgeous! It was very clean and well stocked and had a beautiful view through picture windows, of Lake of Bays. Our one and a half year old granddaughter loved the sandy beach and getting a ride on the kayak and paddle boat. We hiked in Algonquin every day and we were lucky to see a black bear. two foxes and a moose.We hope to come back soon! Highly recommend.Suggestions for Improvement: Bedroom windows that can open; kitchen scissors; more kitchen towels and a drain rack.
The property was clean and cozy and supplied everything we needed for our stay. The dock and kayaks were a great daytime retreat, starting the day with amazing sunrises. We will definitely recommend this rental and return for future stays!
Lovely peaceful cottage away from it all. My husband and I lead very busy lives and wanted a getaway where we would do nothing... and do nothing we did.
Property was very clean and well maintained. Beautiful large deck with patio furniture overlooking the lake. Dock made for easy swimming and kayaking. Owners were very responsive throughout the rental process.
Great cottage, lots of space. Deck is amazing to jump in the water.
Very nice inside , furnished.
John was very easy to reach for any questions.
Looking forward to coming back.
We couldn't ask for more. Comfy cottage, nice large screen TV, good beds, clean & had everything one needs to make it like home. The view of the lake is perfect & a deer family visited each night. John is responsive to all questions.
The property was exactly as describe in the description. We spent a lot of time down by the water utilizing the water "toys" that were available. the kids all had a good time swimming and fishing (catching about 40 fish). I would definitely recommend this destination to anyone and would go back myself.
We had such a wonderful week at John's cottage. We spent countless hours on the dock and in the water. My 7 , 5 and 2 year old all loved the water mat and paddle boat.
There was plenty of room for all of us in the cottage. It was very clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need.
We are already talking about booking again for next year. We would highly recommend!!
Thank you for our delightful visit to your cottage and the Lake of Bays.
It was exactly how you described it and more. The surrounding cottages were so welcoming and let us use many of their water toys as well as what the cottage supplied.
It was truly a unique experience for my granddaughters from Scotland. They loved the water and adjusted to swimming in the superb water front.
Thank you

This was a fantastic week enjoyed by my family. The cottage is amazing and very well kept. Newer deck and dock were fantastic. The water was great. We did have to grab more water for the cooler and toilet paper as they was only 3 rolls left for 6 people. If that's our only downfall then I know we did very well. Great property, great and easy communication with owners.
Very highly recommended.
This was a great cottage for our family, especially the large property on the water, as we have young children who love to run and play. The double wide dock made it easy for us to bring our boats and the water was the perfect temperature. The cottage is updated, which was fantastic because there is no musty smell. The open concept was also great to have, as everyone always felt like part of the conversation regardless of where they were relaxing in the cottage. We were also lucky to see many deer outside on the property, which we haven't experienced before, they were so close to us, it was so neat! The cottage is exactly how it is listed, thanks for letting us use your summer home!
We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and would not hesitate to recommend this cottage! John was an amazing host, very responsive and kind. The cottage was very clean and cozy and well stocked with everything we needed. The property was great and we had fun skating on the lake, building a quinze, and stomping out showshoe drawings in the snow. We read and played cards in front of the fire every night. Having 2 bathrooms and central heating were additional comforts. A few snowshoe trails were within walking distance or more trails and cross-country skiing a short drive to Algonquin. Groceries, firewood and gas easily accessed. We even grabbed take-out pizza in Huntsville. We would definitely stay here again! :)
Great location - access to Algonquin but bring your own towels and sheets
Pros: The property and cottage are spacious and has nice water front. It was a cold week so we did not swim much-but the deck and dock area are very nice and easy access for swimming. Would have liked a canoe, easier to stay dry than the open kayaks, which we ended up not using. As its close to Algonquin, we were in the park every day-takes about 45 minutes drive to get to hikes at the middle of the highway 60 corridor, great hiking, bicycling and canoeing so the week overall was a great experience. The internet worked reasonably well for the country side, there is TV, comfortable seating, all the dishes etc you need.
Cons: The property advertised all linens, but when we got there there were 3 bath towels and no hand towels -we had reserved for 5 people and it sleeps 9- we had to call the owner for a couple more towels- should not advertise full linens if not provided. The rules of the cottage say to remove all garbage, but the previous visitors had filled a bin outside that the animals had got to- and it was a mess....the owner had it cleaned up next day, but still, was not a good first impression. Then the sheets on the bed were odd- some had 2 sheets but some just one and a duvet cover. The master bedroom had the only Queen and it had no bottom sheet, just mattress cover, and a double top sheet on a Queen mattress- didn't fit so next day we ended up going to Huntsville to buy a set of sheets at Walmart. We had to wash many of the dishes before use, as there was caked on food many of them.
Overall, for the price charged (over $3000 a week with all the charges added in), the standards of linens, dirty dishes, overall impression were a bit below expectations, but we did enjoy the week.
