Our family group of 9 (ages 2 - 70) had a wonderful vacation at Sarah's cottage. We have rented many condos /cottages over the years and none have been as well equipped and maintained as this one. Everything you could possibly need for a family vacation is available and of good quality. Once booked we received a document that itemized everything in the cottage, along with details like garbage pickup, cottage on town water etc. Really helps with packing! Sarah always responded quickly to any questions we had and checkin was easy. The beach/dock area had all day sun and it was a quick walk into town to Don's Bakery, takeaway, grocery store, LCBO ,restaurants playgrounds etc. We never used the car ! The kayaks, canoe and SUP boards were great for exploring the Moon River. The kids loved the "lily pad" and helped them make more use of the water than they would have without it. The new fire pit and seating area was enjoyed often. (firewood included). The beds were very comfortable with blackout curtains. The living area was well stocked with games, puzzles and books in very good condition. (kids/adults) There was nothing we could find lacking in the kitchen. So many sitting areas and both the outdoor and indoor eating areas easily accommodated our group. Lovely gardens and big grassy lawn areas for the kids to roam around and play. The beach area was particularly good for the little ones with sand toys and inflatables provided. Lovely sunsets from the dock. Hope to return!

We had a great time at Sarah's cottage. The cottage was perfect for our family. It was kept super clean and had so many activities for our group with young kids. The dock area, grass area, fire pit and beautiful clear and calm moon river water was a delight! There was also lots of fish to catch off the dock and lots of kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, sand toys, safety vests to use as well. Sarah went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. The location was also wonderful because we could take the kids to restaurants and activities near by either by walking in Bala or driving (port carling, Gravenhurst are very close). We hope to return again soon!

We had an absolutely lovely stay! The cottage was incredibly clean and well maintained. The owners were a pleasure to deal with and replied promptly to all of our questions. We had a group of 9 and it was plenty spacious for all of us to have our own space, enjoy family meals and play games on a rainy day. My absolutely favourite was the beautiful waterfront dock that got sun all day. Oh and we really enjoyed the short walk in to town.

Perfect Muskoka Vacation

From the moment we pulled into the driveway we were in love. This was truly a cottage but with that warm welcoming upscale feel. The cottage feature the perfect blend of natural
Wood and upgrades.

This trip has been the highlight of our summer this far. I finally see the hype about Muskoka and cottage life.

Sarah thought of everything. The perfectly curated welcome package made us feel so special - she knew what we would love without us even mentioning it.

Out favourite spot was by the water. Both on the dock but also the fire pit. It was like a heavenly feeling being able to sit by the water and observe the stillness and tranquility. We were able to sit back relax and enjoy the fire pit perfect for s'mores and fireside chats.

There's no space that was unused. We loved being able to hang everywhere. Even sitting on top of the small hill to overlook the property shaded by large oak trees.

This was a phenomenal experience and will stay with us. We were catered to in small
ways and able to sit and unwind and relax in an amazing space.

The cottage was close to all we needed but tucked away for privacy.

We will be back. Thanks for having us.

Had an amazing time staying at this cottage! Went up with my family and we all had a great time. Very clean and spacious, with lots of comfortable beds, gorgeous patio and the best part was the long dock and beach. The water was warm, clear and welcoming! The neighbours are quiet and location is unbeatable. It is walking distance from the grocery store, lcbo, ice cream parlour, and the best bakery ever, Don's Bakery. We drove I to brave ridge as well which was an easy drive. The kids had a blast and I highly recommend for a great family vacation in the heart of muskoka.
