This cottage has it all. Beautiful place, kitchen has everything you would need, big deck to enjoy meals and a coffee in the morning. The firepit, dock, and river was so fun, enjoyable, and relaxing. We will definitely be back.

We generally had a great visit and really appreciated the cleanliness of the property on arrival, the full-stocked kitchen and recreational supplies (including the kids stuff!) and the host's quick response time. The property was well-maintained and the dock/waterfront was quite nice.
We have two small constructive criticisms:
The first is that we did not appreciate the the cleaning service waiting at the end of the driveway for us to leave the cottage around 5-10 minutes before the check-out time of 11 AM. We felt rushed to get out of there despite being prepared to leave on time. While I understand the need to promptly turnover the cottage for the next guests during busy season, a grace period of 5-10 minutes would've been appreciated.
The second criticism is that we noticed a solar-powered Ring camera mounted on a tree adjacent to the cottage. While I understand the need to be able to monitor check-in/out, guests present, safety emergencies, etc., we value our family's privacy and thus it would've been nice to have been informed in advance (either in the Welcome Package or the rental contract) of the camera's presence and uses.
Other than that the property, stay and the host's hospitality was fabulous. Certainly deserving of 4.5-5 stars.

We had a great time at this place, despite incessant rain throughout the weekend we stayed here. The house is gorgeous - brand-new and has all facilities one would want in a vacation rental. Access to the river and outdoor seating area is easy, just across the road. Plenty of toys, board games and TV for entertainment. Internet works OK, with a few outages but who cares - its a vacation!
The complementary wine is definitely appreciated, but what would take the hospitality one notch up is if some basic necessities like towels and ice trays in the freezer were included with the stay. Not a big deal though, we brought our own towels!

My family and I had a great time at the property. The host was very responsive. The living room and kitchen area are very spacious. The fire pit is at the front of the house, not the backyard. Thank you!

This property was exactly as advertised. We were impressed with everything about it. It was well stocked. Appreciated that there was salt, pepper, sugar, paper towel and toilet paper.
Beds were comfortable. Kids enjoyed the toys in the cottage and at the riverfront.
The dock and riverfront were a great place to hang out on this glorious fall weekend. The kids loved digging in the sand and made clay pots from the clay in the sand.
Owners were a treat to communicate with.

Had a great week at Germila and Hari’s cottage. The place was gorgeous and extremely clean and well stocked. The hosts were very kind and were quick to respond to any questions and even checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable. The complimentary bottle of wine was such a nice surprise! Would definitely recommend staying here and will return again.

Overall, a good visit to the area.. the house was nice and comfy.
Upon arrival, I entered and noticed the couch was damaged. Having heard nothing from the owner about the back of the couch being smashed in, I sent her photos of the damage, to which she apologized for not telling me sooner...
The next day, we decided to try out the stand up paddle board, kayaks, and canoe. The unit these were stored on was made of 2x4 with no cover/overhang. Sliding the canoe out, the 2x4 split. Further, one of the guests went to sit in the canoe and the seat collapsed under him, injuring his thigh.
Another guest tried a white adult stand-up paddle board, upon placing it on the water, stepping onto the board, and falling off (the board flipped) we noticed the entire bottom of the board was cracked and disi terraced (from the inside - see image of sun damage to core).
I reported the issues to the owner as early as I could the next day. The owner stated the board was in good shape when they tried it last, and proceeded to bill me for a brand new board, meanwhile the age, use, and lack of proper storage caused the board to fall apart.
$542 for a replacement added to my credit card?? ...anyone who stays here, I highly recommend scoping through the entire property before settling in... this host is looking for opportunities to have her guests pay for brand new replacements of old, abused, and neglected items on their property.

We had a wonderful time at the River's Edge. The cottage felt spacious, clean and modern and was perfect for our family of 4 - though you could easily accommodate more guests. You could tell the owners put a lot of thought into what guests will need to enjoy their stay. We loved the cottage and also the location on the river - we enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming every day of our stay. Overall we had a fantastic week and will definitely be booking again. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

the perfect cottage
our stay at bracebridge exceeded our expectations and Germila was one of the easiest and most understanding person to talk to. Everything from the indoor space to the outside lighting and the available boats, was perfect! We loved and enjoyed our stay and definitely plan on visiting again :)

Exceptionally clean
Had a great time and the property was exceptionally clean.
The property was listed as 4 beds & 8 people but the fourth bed was actually a sectional couch- not even a pull out, which made for uncomfortable sleeps.
Also, the dock was completely submerged and entirely unusable for the entirety of our stay.

Wonderful experience
Could not recommend this property more. Hosts were amazing and the property is beautiful, modern and full of everything you need for a wonderful trip away! Blown away by the quality of the property in comparison to others of a similar price available.

We enjoyed a nice relaxing stay at your cottage. It is well appointed, quite spacious and we found it very comfortable.
The outdoor fire pit was a nice touch. 😄
Plenty of light (due to the large and plentiful windows) and the complimentary bottle of wine was a pleasant surprise.
Bedside lamps, as well as a reading lamp in the living room by the couch would have been a nice addition.
We visited one of your dining recommendations and thoroughly enjoyed.
We would certainly enjoy coming back!

Great fall cottage.
The fall time view was great. Just little cold in the house. It is a great place if you like the outdoors. Plenty of indoor games for individuals of any age. The hosts responded quick to any of the inquiries which was a plus point for us.

Great cottage!
The cottage looks brand new. It is very well furnished - there is everything you need in the kitchen, and more!
Very spacious : we are a family of four and there was a lot of room for everyone.
There are a few missing items that would make the cottage even more comfortable/convenient (drying rack, bedside tables with lamps, tray, drawers or shelves in bedroom closets to name a few).
There are lots of huge windows, specially in the living room and it can get pretty hot when the sun shines all day.
Lots of stuff for indoor (boardgames) and outdoor activities (kayak, paddle, pedal boat)
Great location, although a little less private than expected. Some neighbours were quite loud at times.
Germila and Hari were very reactive each time we had to get in touch with them before and during our stay.
Highly recommend this property!
