We had a wonderful time - not just because the cottage is perfect (right on the lake with beautiful views, a dock, kayaks, a canoe, and a paddle board) but also because of the genuine hospitality, responsiveness, and care of Sharon, the owner. The cottage, the lake, and Sharon are all true gems. :)

A totally charming and incredibly well appointed cottage. Shari & Ken were extremely easy to communicate with and attentive. If you can’t find a kitchen implement you probably don’t need it! From the lovely dock, cozy fireplace and canoes/paddle boards/kayak - you will not be disappointed in this rental!!

We stayed at this property for one week and it was absolutely awesome. Me and my two kids and one of my good friends and his two kids stayed here for our vacation. The property is exactly as advertised and was very clean and comfortable. It was well fitted with all the necessary pots and pans and cooking implements as well as a barbecue. The dock was an excellent shape, and could easily accommodate our boat and seadoo. The kids had a tremendous time swimming and hanging out on the lily pad. The water at the end of the dock is about 8 feet deep and was great for the kids to jump off of and there’s a sandy beach area off to the one side. Sherry and Ken are very nice people who are very accommodating to our needs. I would have no hesitation recommending this property to someone looking to have a great Muskoka experience.

Shari , Ken and family are terrific hosts. There was plenty of correspondence before our arrival about places to visit and helpful directions in the Muskoka region. Shari always a text away!
The cottage is sparkling clean and spacious. Kitchen is stocked with everything for cooking . Screen porch - late night dinners were a highlight. We are an adventurous couple so we thoroughly enjoyed using the canoe, the kayaks , the SUP, and going on hikes. Great equipment available. Remarkably no mosquitoes in early September. 🙂The dock was perfect for swimming. Our hosts were very gracious with organizing boat trips across the lake to where we parked our car. Being on Bala Island for the long weekend was a beautiful Muskoka experience.
Restful, Relaxing and allowed us to enjoy all the splendours of the lake right outside the door . Great turtle spotting on our paddling trips.
Thank you Shari & Ken for the warm welcome.

We had a great time at the cottage. Great location with a great dock to swim off of. Kind of in a cove with a few other cottages. We had fun using the kayaks, paddle board and canoe. The inside of the cottage is also nice and cozy.

Really great vacation at the cottage! We had an excellent time hanging out on the dock, using the provided stand up paddle board, canoe and kayaks! The cottage was clean and included all the necessary amenities! Our little guy had a great time splashing around in the little sand bank next to the dock and really enjoyed the toys that were sent over! We also really appreciated the pack and play that was provided so we didn't need to bring our own. All around excellent trip, thank you very much for making our summer vaca great!

Cozy cottage with beautiful views. Located in the perfect spot, just a quick boat ride away from all the amenities we needed. Great swimming off the dock with a shallow sandy waterfront. Highly recommended!
