This is thus far the best place we have ever stayed at, it is huge, fits 10+ adults easily, the place was well maintained and the kitchen was well stocked. We had a great time. The host was very accommodating. The views from the dock were great and the interior setup and designs were really cool too. Thanks for a fantastic weekend stay!

The place was specious and suited our needs perfectly. Quite and beautiful scenery. Property mangers made our check in a breeze … thank you. It was a bit difficult to get to the dock other than that we very much enjoyed our stay.

I would like to preface this by stating that I rarely write reviews; however, our family felt compelled to warn others before booking this cottage. Briefly, the owner called us 20 mins before arrival to say the downstairs shower was not to be used. Upon arrival, we found the basement floor water damaged and covered by a rug. We became aware that flushing the toilet in one of the upstairs bathrooms also caused water to gurgle up through the shower and sink. Plumbers were sent on two occasions because the issue was not resolved after their first visit. Before departing, the plumbers said there were issues with the angels of the plumbing resulting in draining issues and a water pressure issue that had to be corrected with a filter replacement. The owner contacted us after our stay regarding reimbursement due to the plumbing issues and only having 1 fully functional bathroom for 12 people during the majority of our visit. During the call, the owner stated there “had never been issues with the plumbing prior to our stay” and it was “very odd that plumbers had to be called twice during our stay.” As stated in the review by the previous renter and by the call we received prior to our arrival, that was false. We also mentioned the dishwasher was not cleaning dishes (which also appeared to be due to the pressure issue) to which the owner implied we were putting in dishes with too much food. We didn’t continue listing our concerns, because we felt everything would be spun to be our fault. We were refunded the cleaning deposit, which is a small pittance considering the time interrupted by plumbers, and the misleading advertisement of the ‘luxury’ accommodations. Other issues we felt would be valuable to be aware of would include: • Only 1 of the 3 bathrooms locked • Bedside table in the master bedroom was missing a leg • Door to deck had to be locked for it to close and front door would not lock • Fire pit was surrounded by stumps, not chairs • Appliances (blender and old model Nespresso) did not work • Washout in driveway • VERY steep hill down to water • Extension cords running indoor/outdoor, bundles of loose wires/cords on roof • Exposed junction box with live wires hanging out, surrounded by wood paneling We have used VRBO multiple times before and have always had wonderful experiences. We had a nice time, but for the advertised ‘luxury cottage’ location, and the indifferent treatment we received, we will be pursuing different accommodations.

My family including a teenage son and elderly parents - plus a visit from friends ALL loved this cottage. It is exactly as depicted in the pictures. A few highlights: - The dock is amazing. Its well built and spacious with ample seating. The water is beautiful. There us a bar fridge, pool noodles and all the stuff you need to spend the day by the water. - The cottage is huge. Our group had all the space we needed at all times. - The cottage owners are really responsive. I had a last minute medical delivery that had to be made to the cottage and Ryan and Michael went out of their way to help. The screened in porch saved the rainy days we had. Neighbours on the right were out of sight and super quiet on the left…. So very private. I would highly recommend.

Property is marketed as a luxury cottage. We expected a higher standard for the price. We rented the cottage for 2 wks for 9 of us. We arrived prior to our guests & were surprised to find, although tidy, it had areas that weren't adequately clean (garbage receptacles) or had not been cleaned for some time. We could write in the dust on shelves & light fixtures, kitchen drawers needed cleaning, master bedroom night table was broken, kitchen drawers wouldn't stay closed, no lock on one of the bathroom doors, barn doors to bedrooms and bathroom didn't work properly. Another hazard was an area rug in downstair's living area with large curled edges which one could trip. We were told this was because of water damage from a flood. To be fair, when we contacted the owners they did send a handyman and cleaner the next day (Sunday) to address our major concerns. This allowed us to enjoy the remainder of our stay. State of amenities weren't up to the standard of a “luxury” cottage for the price. There weren't enough face cloths, nor were there hand-towels for the bathrooms. We used tea towels from the kitchen for bathroom hand towels. The king-size bed in master bedroom had a queen size duvet and flat sheet. There was a French press coffee maker and a Nespresso machine. Both were inadequate for 6 adults drinking coffee. The Nespresso machine required large pods that are incredibly hard to find. Our guests ended up having to bring their own coffee machines. There were other low urgency maintenance issues. Muskoka Room screens were coming away from the frame. There are 5 bedrooms, 1 has a closet & 1 has a small bureau. Guests had to live out of their suitcases. Dining seating was inadequate. We didn’t dine outdoors as the deck table had 4 old wooden chairs, & no seat cushions. Although the cottage is advertised as “luxury” it's configured, & priced, for the largest number of guests, rather than the number of guests that it's able to appropriately accommodate. Positives; dock & lake are lovely. Kids had fun with the kayaks & canoe. It was helpful there's a small fridge in the cabana at the dock given the climb up/down to the cottage. The beds were comfortable, plenty of dishes/cutlery. Multiple TVs if you're interested in streaming. Booked this cottage over a year before our stay & looked forward to treating our family to something really special. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations.

For the price, expected much better. We had two families of 4 ( with younger kids), and one set up of grandparents. The layout is clearly described on the listing but did not work well for us. To start, there was a flood in the basement and guests had to travel upstairs to shower ( floor boards were soaked with water and will need to be replaced at some point). All bedrooms on main floor are very small with little storage space ( kids had to store all their clothes in our room). The barn door concept offers very little privacy ( and is just awkward for a bathroom with a shower). The seating area with the TV sits right beside that washroom as well - kinda awkward for people showering or using the bathroom. Same principle applies to the bedroom/ washroom by the kitchen. In fairness, they have a blueprint of the layout so it wasn’t a secret but it’s not ideal once you are in there. For a cottage that sleeps 12, there is a dining room table that seats 6, an outdoor patio table that seats 4, and a screened in porch that seats 2. I had high expectations but didn’t work very well for our group. John

This cottage was perfect. It’s so beautifully designed and an amazing layout. The dock is amazing and the lake is beautiful. I went there with a group of girls and we’re already talking about when we will be back. If you’re looking for a nice get away I wouldn’t hesitate to book this place! It was everything and more then we could have expected!

Wow, can't begin to say how amazing our stay was. Our hosts were amazing with communication the entire time. Not one thing to complain about. Property itself is hard to classify as a cottage, the entire space was amazing. Plenty of room indoors for rainy days as well as several outdoor areas to comfortably gather as well. Highly reccomend this space and we hope to come back again. Great place to relax and put your feet up!

A truly stunning property in an ideal location. The hosts were absolutely superb, supportive and unfailingly helpful. This lakeside property is the place for dream vacations for family and friends. A well appointed, excellently equipped “cottage”, the accommodation is spacious and perfect for holiday in winter and summer. Our visit was in February and accompanied with lots of snow but the cottage was warm and homely; made all the more comforting with wood and gas fires. The beds were comfortable and the large living area on the main floor perfect for adults and a toddler. Perched on a hill top overlooking Peninsula Lake there are splendid views of the Lake through the trees (snow covered in our case) and a view of the dock and boathouse below. We loved the house and the environs and tramping through the snow - we can only imagine how perfect the cottage and the place is in the summer. All in all a perfect place to stay with marvellous abs attentive hosts and a fair price considering the size, the sleeping capacity and the overall design of the property and facilities. A definite jewel in Muskoka.
