Thanks for a lovely stay!

We had a lovely time on Little Marble Lake at The Bon Echo Family Campground, just minutes away from Bon Echo Provincial Park. Everything ran so smoothly from check-in, to relaxing on the beach, to lighting the fire at night to check-out. Rob, the owner's son was especially courteous and made sure our questions were answered and our needs were met. When we arrived, we had the chance to listen to the annual music festival that Ralph, the owner, organizes and felt the warm community vibe right away. We can't wait to come back when our 10 month old is older and can run around! She loved exploring the cabin, sitting on the beach and doing a little paddle on the water. It was so idyllic, quiet and yet we were so close to other campers ... I can still hear the crickets and can't wait to return. The amenities were good. I would recommend bringing your favourite sharp knife, some larger cooking and salad bowls would be good too.

When we arrived, the cottage was exactly as pictured. Ralph is an amazing host-always available and gave us some great ideas of what to do in the area. Beautiful little sandy beach is just a stone's throw from the cottage. Cottage is roomy and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Mattresses were comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to book again!

Great for kids

Being a campground/trailer park community It is safe and wonderful for kids. The playground and the sandy beach are wins. The cottage itself is old and musty. It is clean. Don’t forget to pack all of your linens, pillows and blankets.

Great, easy family cottage spot

This is a simple cottage, exactly as described. This is a family campground with lots of kids around. Great for young kids to find a friend and to play at the beach, or bike around. Take the canoe or peddleboat out with the kids, go fishing or swim. Not noisy.

Enjoyable Vacation

I was looking for fun in the sun with my granddaughter and some me time too. I was able to enjoy both. The beach and swimming area were perfect for my granddaughter as it was shallow which was comfortable for her to play and for me not to worry. I enjoyed the water too. I did have a day to myself where I enjoyed a nice kayak ride around the lake. The cottage was roomy and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay.

They cancelled our booking due to "overbooking". Overbooking maybe because they have this place listed in other sites?Though they are kind enough to give us back the our money but still a big inconvience coz both me and my husband had book our off from work for those days.

Great spot

It's a great spot for kids... we went from playground, cottage, camp store to beach and back again all day long. The water is shallow and sandy, which was ideal with small children. As the listing suggests, there is limited privacy and the cottage is dated-- but things were comfortable, drivers on the laneway out front were conscientious and my daughter had fun with new friends. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay.

No Exhaust in the bathroom

Decent Cottage but was surprised that the doors keys were not readily available. As mentioned, having no exhaust and the window kept open was an easy entry for mosquitoes/bugs in the shower aside from excess humidity. Also the tub in the shower was very slippery. Otherwise all okay.
