A week of fellowship and painting

It was clean, well-equipped, modern enough to be comfortable, quaint enough to be interesting. We enjoyed the charming property and the historic village in which it is located. Very enjoyable week. We hope to return next year.

Lovely visit to Kingsgate Lakehouse

11 family members enjoyed a fabulous stay at the Lakehouse for a week. The kitchen was very well equipped for our big group. Linens, towels, life jackets were well supplied. Every day we used the 2 kayaks, jumped off the dock, used the hot tub and shared meals. We were lucky to see swans, a beaver, a great blue heron, and loons while kayaking. The BBQ, showers, plumbing all functioned well. We enjoyed reading the history of the area in a provided book, and went on a tour of the historic mill. The small grocery store, LCBO, and small cafe were within 5 minutes walk of the house. Being an old house, you had to watch your footing on the uneven floors. The owner was super responsive and helpful. The town itself does not have a lot to do, so bringing a few games and books is a good idea.

Family vacation

The place is exactly as shown. Muskoka chairs are in excellent condition by the fire. Kayaks are almost new and the large inventory of life jackets means everyone can enjoy the water. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes, cutlery, coffee and coffee machine, laundry equipment are all in excellent condition.

Cousins weekend

The house had a well stocked kitchen for dishes,etc. we did find the fridge a bit small. There were plenty of linens and towels. All the bedrooms are a good size. Pretty location. You can also park in front of the house, which we didn’t know until we unloaded our vehicles. Right next to the local store and LCBO. Wonderful coffee shop a walk away. Very pretty little town

Friends get away

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage! Décor is pretty, so nice to have the hot tub and the grounds are spacious, not to mention the home itself. The kitchen is well equipped and the home is clean. The TV is also set up with Netflix and other specialty channels which is great for options. We were a group of friends who have been getting together for years and this home was perfect. The host, Michael is very responsive to inquiries. Highly recommend!

Pictures don’t do this place justice. We had an amazing time at this property. Hot tub was of course the main attraction for our group. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need and lots of counter space to prepare large meals. Loved the decor. Owner was very quick to respond. Would definitely recommend!

What a Gem!

Group of 45+ ladies enjoyed a weekend of crafting in Delta-adorable little town with friendly people and everything close by. Gorgeous 1837 home was historically charming. You can tell a lot of work has gone into this home and I imagine it’s only going to get better from here!

Happy Reunion

Mid-Covid 19 lockdown, we decided what we needed was the chance for the four couples to have a getaway together. We booked in March for this September holiday. We had a blast. The home was very clean, casually elegant, very well appointed in kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Lovely grounds on a quiet waterway, with a fire pit surrounded by lots of beautiful Muskoka chairs. We prepared gourmet meals, relaxed in comfortable living room couch and chairs, sat around the fire at night, kayaked, canoed, ventured to a nearby golf course for a game and to Charleston Lake Provincial Park for hiking. Even the one rainy day we managed to support local with a shopping trip into Merrickville. The only amenity we didn’t squeeze into our plans was the hot tub…..next time. It was everything we hoped for and more. Definitely a five-star rating. We will absolutely be back again.
