Spacious cottage with everything we needed. Would definitely come back!

Excellent stay at a beautiful cottage

Cottage was amazing, very clean and well appointed! The only downside is long trek back and forth to the dock but it was a good workout!!

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.
