We had a great week. Just a short walk to a small sandy beach. Wonderful for the little ones and the not so little ones. Everything was provided including the firewood. When we did have questions Marcus responded very quickly. Thank you Marcus!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week away at this lovely home. Marcus reached out to us via phone and text on the day of our arrival to ensure our checkin went smoothly. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very close to the beach. We enjoyed the large fire pit and the proximity to several local hiking trails. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay. Close to the beach, attractions. Cottage is spacious and we had a great time.

We were 6 adults and one child. Our daughter and her family were visiting from Perth Australia, our Granddaughter's first visit to Canada. The property and its amenities were exactly as advertised. The grounds and surrounding area were beyond picturesque. We had two deer visit the backyard during the late afternoon which was a delight for all. The lake and beach were a 1 minute walk from the cottage and we spent a lot of time there. Would highly recommend this property. We all enjoyed our stay immensely.

We were there for a week with friends and family. House is so cozy and inviting. Had everything we needed. Very clean. Marcus was there when we arrived which was nice. Showed us around. Awesome property.

This property had everything you could possibly need! So well thought out and comfortable. Marcus was so nice and accommodating. Hope to return some time. Area was perfect.

My wife grew up with a family cottage near Bala. Our kids had not been to see the area so it was time. Included significant others. The Windermere manor was just right, big enough and relatively close to all the locations we wanted to see!

We were very pleased with the size of this home. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 kids. The house was clean and we were able to take advantage of the spacious deck. It was a short walk to the beach, and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the sand toys provided there.. The swing on the deck was also very popular. It was a great get away. Thank you Marcus.

Very good experience, host easy to contact

A beautiful home with everything you need and more. A gorgeous property that shows how much the owner loves the home because it has so many wonderful features. The games room with pool table kept us entertained with good family fun for countless hours. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook up homemade meals. The dinning area was perfect for the family to gather to eat or play board games. The added features like the heated floors in the master bath is something I will miss as I return home. I enjoyed looking at all the beautiful artwork in the home and was able to find many areas to relax and read. My children loved the fast speed wifi that allowed them to keep up with their school. My husband loved the fireplace and used it often. This place had something for everyone. As my son put it best, he never wanted to leave the home. Usually we will plan trips to different parts of the area but we found this time we planned less so we could simple stay home. I keep saying home and not property because it felt like a home away from home and gave us all the ability to recharge. Leaving this place was the hardest part of the trip. Finally the owner was kind and check in on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and was easy to reach when we had questions. We lacked for nothing at this beautiful home and hope to return in the future.

Great spot right in the village with everything you need to have a relaxing stay. We enjoyed the pool table and darts. Very clean and Marcus checked in to make sure all was ok. Great property.

We hosted Christmas at this house during a massive winter storm. Marcus was a wonderful host who checked in on us to make sure we were ok. Definitely coming back!!

Great property perfect weekend getaway

Fantastic location. Great spot to enjoy Muskoka.

My family and I had a great time at this property despite a widespread power outage resulting from a storm. Marcus contacted me as soon as he became aware of the power outage and arranged to have the generator started within minutes. Marcus was very attentive remained accessible throughout the weekend.

House well maintained, clean, comfortable, cozy, excellent location, calm neighbourhood, perfect for enjoying with family. The host is very kind and thoughtful.

Lovely century home and property with many upgrades yet retaining the charm of yesteryear. Outdoor living was lovely. As golfers being right across from Windemere golf was hugely convenient as well as walking the the resort for dinner and a swim. Can't beat the master bedroom shower!!! Will be thinking of next year. Marcus was wonderful to deal with. M. Douglas

Our family of 6 adults enjoyed the spacious accommodation and especially the Games Room which included a pool table. The bedroom furniture definitely needs updating. The cleaning process should be addressed. On entry there was an unpleasant odor and we immediately opened the windows! Overall we enjoyed a 3 night stay at this property.

We had a wonderful time. I was totally amazed at how well stocked the property was. The kids loved the fire pit. Everything we needed was there. My only criticism was that there was too much stuff everywhere, dust collectors.

Very nice cottage getaway! Marcus was very helpful and prompt to respond to our requests. An excellent feature is a game room, which provides a fun and cozy space.

We were attending a wedding at Windemere house and thought we would be more comfortable in a house vs the hotel rooms that were being offered at the resort. The home allowed our adult children to all have their own rooms and we enjoyed being able to make meals in the well equipped kitchen. It was better stocked than many of the spots we stay in with our timeshare. The kids liked being able to play pool, sit in the backyard and explore the village and surronding towns. Would highly recommend this home if you are in a similar situation or looking to have a little muskoka escape.

Stayed here for a long weekend getaway in April 2022 with some friends. The house was perfect and the check-in/check-out process was extremely easy. Fantastic location close to the water and across from a golf course and would definitely consider staying again in the future. Marcus made sure the house was stocked with all the necessary amenities to ensure a more then pleasant experience.

The decor was done with care and genuinely allows you to feel like you are in a well loved home. It is a very well stocked kitchen with a generous amount of plates, glasses and cutlery. The bedding is welcoming and the towels are ample, fresh and new. The host is conscientious and checks in to make sure everything is going well. You really feel like you are living in a home and I am grateful for being allowed to share in it. Thank you for such a lovely stay.

The house in Windermere is a grand old lady with lots of character. It seems fitting that she shares the neighborhood with that most famous Muskoka landmark, Windermere House. The master bathroom adds a modern touch with a beautiful shower and heated floor. On a cold winter morning the warmth of the floor is a welcome treat. The game room with pool table and dartboard provided hours of evening entertainment. The driveway opens up behind the house and allows parking for several vehicles. We had plenty of room left over after parking 3 vehicles and a snowmobile trailer. Muskoka winters can be beautiful but also brutal for the uninitiated. Getting to Windermere involves driving on some hilly, icy roads, so 4 wheel drive would be advisable in the wintertime. The view of frozen lake Rosseau from the top of the hill and the opportunity to discover her secrets from a fast moving snowmobile makes all the effort worthwhile. Despite an ice storm and temperatures that dipped below minus 25 Celsius almost every night, we had a wonderful time staying in Windermere. Thank you Marcus for a fabulous winter holiday!

1. Great property manager 2. Nice and cozy home and neighbourhood for family gathering 3. Upper shareable bathroom - bathtub needs improvement 4. Kitchen drawers need some improvement

Marcus' property is excellent, with a ton to do at the house and outside. The check-in process was effortless, Marcus was easy to communicate with, and the place was spotless. We loved the games room, the barbecue grill and how close the house is to the lake. We'll be back in the future to enjoy some more.

Very good
