Our family stayed here to break up the monotony of the pandemic, and it was a great experience. For us, it was only 40 mins away, but offered a very private experience that easily accommodated our party of 6 adults, 3 children, and three dogs. Everyone had a great time canoeing the private lake, having camp fires, and just hanging out on the large porch. Oleg is very friendly and a great host. Very reasonably priced.

Lot of activities to play , quite area that we can enjoy ourselves through the whole weekend.

Very nice

Oleg and Natalia's property is everything we wanted for our vacation after months of physical distancing and more. The property is near enough to Toronto to drive in one stretch. The cottage is clean and tidy and surrounded by natural beauty. We loved the pond which was perfect for swimming and leisurely paddling in the provided canoes. The wood-burning sauna was a tremendous hit with both the adults and the kids in our party. The kids loved the swimming and jumping into the lake off the dock, and the water was so calm and refreshing. We brought life jackets for the kids for water activities (adult life vest are provided) and access to the lake for swimming was the highlight of the trip for them. The guys who are avid runners loved running multiple laps around the lake (about 1.5 km loops) every morning, and the rest of us enjoyed leisurely walks taking in the beauty of path. Short drives away are some local hikes: Bruce Trail, Eugenia Falls, and Hoggs Falls. Hit the popular hiking trails early to avoid crowds in order to practice proper physical distancing. Restaurants in the surrounding towns are doing a great job with outdoor dining and physical distancing (Superburger and Champ Burger in Shelbourne, Steven's Restaurant in Markdale). We used the wood-burning grill or the gas grill to prepare delicious, simple meals, and the outdoor eating areas were perfect for gathering everyone together for meals. We also enjoyed the fire pit at sunset and watching the stars above almost every night. Our youngest son asked if we could stay there for a year, and all of us are already looking forward to finding a time for a return trip. Thank you for a spectacular time!

We stayed as we had an event nearby. I wish we had had more time to have a fire in the lovely fire pit. Natalia and Oleg were very responsive. There was also an adorable bonus kitten to say hello to! The kids enjoyed the play set. There was lots of space for them to run around. We would definitely stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and owners were very nice and helpful.
