| We had a wonderful stay at this cottage over the Victoria Day long weekend. The place was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. There were 10 of us, and we thoroughly enjoyed gathering on the beautiful deck for meals and drinks, as well as spending time around the lovely fire pit on the chilly nights.
The private beach was fantastic, and both the adults and kids had a great time kayaking. The price was very reasonable, especially considering how well-stocked and thoughtfully maintained the cottage was?both inside and out.
We would definitely book this cottage again and highly recommend it to others looking for a relaxing and fun getaway.

| Myself and 3 of my friends stayed at this amazing cottage from September 27 to October 1st. The weather couldnt have been better. The location was great with pristine water and really good privacy on either side. Plenty of pots and pans, cutlery and a modern kitchen. The beds were comfortable and we really appreciated not having to take our garbage with us when we drove from the GTA. Pay the extra fee for the firewood, it is worth it rather than having to cart it in yourself. In the mornings you will be treated to a beautiful sunrise and in the evening the moon shines off the still water. This may be a little on the nose but I also appreciated the really good water pressure for the shower. Last but absolutely not least is the owner. Very pleasant, witty and a treat to converse with. When you have a question Julia is quick to respond. Bracebridge is 35mins away though unless you absolutely need to something from town, you wont want to leave.
