This cottage gives you the quintessential Ontario cottage experience. Quiet lake with great swimming and boating. Great large dock with super comfortable chairs. Lots of life jackets and water toys as per description. The cottage was very comfortable providing the necessities. Our grandchildren enjoyed sleeping and playing in the well constructed bunky and tree house. The cottage provided an environment for a lovely family holiday.

The property is definitely the quintessential cottage get-away! You circumnavigate a good portion of the lake on winding gravel roads surrounded by trees before arriving at your destination. The photos on the site are good representations of what you can expect. We were blessed with nice weather which allowed us to enjoy a campfire every night and enjoy the dock and lake every day. The paddle boat was perfect for our guests with young children and the adults enjoyed using the small kayaks to explore the lake. While on the cold side the water was still swimmable and generally calm, with small ripples when breezy. We did experience mosquitos and black flies (to be expected in June) but the cottage comes equipped with lots of spray and suntan lotion. The green space allowed us to play games with the children (bubbles, ring toss, catch which we brought with us) and there were lots of other options in the shed. Definitely bring lots of your own bottled water as you go through that faster than you think, and while you can drive into Bracebridge to restock, it is a trip you'll want to avoid unless you are also treating yourself to lunch or dinner out. We encountered one small glitch on arrival and James was quick to respond and address the situation for us. While couples will also enjoy this space, we think it is perfect for families with young children/teens who like to be active on the water.

Beautiful property and lake. Close to Brackenridge for groceries or to see the falls or hit the market. We had a great girls weekend!

Every expectation was met, no, exceeded. Immaculate. Rain or shine, this getaway spot was Exactly what we were looking for after these last couple of years of ... would return in a minute!

This was an amazing trip for all of us (my husband and kids - ages 12 and 6). The cottage was clean, comfortable and cozy. The lake and waterfront were great. Steps leading in to a shallow wading area where the kids could safely play - for hours!! The dock was great for relaxing and fishing. The paddle boat and kayaks came in handy to explore a bit more of the lake. There was decent privacy from neighbouring properties, and the lake was quiet and removed from any traffic noise. It was also great having a washer/dryer in the bathroom, which was new and clean with a great shower. And the view of the lake from the cottage was incredible. Morning sunrises we’re such a treat. We had such a wonderful time, and James was a fabulous host. Very thoughtful and responsive!! An amazing experience overall!!

We were shocked how clean was the cottage and appliances. The place is waaaay better than its photos. The welcome package was really nice touch. The surrounding was beautiful and entertainment equipments were complete and good quality. We will definitely return to this place.

Pictures don't do this place justice. The view off the deck was breathtaking! The cottage was very clean, had everything we needed for our stay. The kids loved the bunkie and spent hours in the treehouse. We had access to the non motorized water toys, plenty of life jackets. The lake was calm the days we were there, not a lot of boat traffic. It rained one of the days which was not a big deal given the wifi was great and the tv had more channels then we have at home. The host, James, was responsive to our text messages and made us feel like he actually cared about our stay. Will definitely be coming back next year!

Very nice Cottage and location! Overall positive experience 👍🏼

We had a great week during our stay. Upon entering the cottage we had a surprising welcome package that included some sweets. This is the first time a host had something like this waiting for us. A small gesture which goes to show what a great host James is! He provides non motorized water toys which include canoes, kayaks, and a paddle boat. This was one of the reasons we choose his place. Leech Lake is a small lake which is great for kayaking and canoeing as well as providing a quiet getaway. Most of the cottages are owned where the neighbours are up for week ends. The big bonus was all the bass we caught off the dock. The lake is filled with Rainbow Trout annually but one would need a boat to get to deeper waters.

We had a wonderful stay with our adult children and their partners. The dock and water were perfect for spending our sunny days. Cottage is bright and spacious with room for everyone to sleep. James is a great host and made sure we were happy and had everything we needed. Fantastic communication! We hope to come back again!!
