My husband and I booked the cottage for our three grown sons and their spouses and children. There was a lot of room for everyone and the cottage is well stocked and decorated beautifully. The only thing we couldn’t find was a pizza pan but we made a cookie sheet work for our needs. We all had an absolutely fantastic stay at Simon’s cottage. Our grandchildren were in the water at the shoreline the entire week. Even our dogs loved every minute of their holiday. Simon was wonderful to deal with and commutation was very easy. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful cottage and view, quiet lake and perfect family getaway. Our family was so comfortable in this house, had everything we needed, no complaints. This cottage is a hidden gem. Simon was a 5 star host & we will be booking this cottage again in the future!

My family and I had a fantastic time staying at this cottage over the past week! There was lots of space and plenty of things to do. We enjoyed the quiet peaceful lake, it was perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. The cottage is on a little bay/inlet which was nice and private! I will say the shore started off sandy but there were some weeds for the first 5-10ft but it was still okay to swim off of the end of the dock and lily pad. Furthermore, the kitchen was fully stocked and had all of the supplies you could possibly need. Additionally, the rooms were spacious and the beds were quite comfortable. Lastly, the hosts were very helpful and responded promptly to any questions we had. Overall my family had a fantastic time and hope to be back next year!

The property is beautiful with floor to ceiling windows giving you a spectacular view of the lake. All that you need is there, fully equipped kitchen, towels, water toys, board games, pool and shuffle board table, etc., the sunsets were beautiful and we loved watching them on the new dock. The things that were a little annoying are part of cottage life. Managing the garbage - garbage day on Wednesday, trip to the dump on Thursday before 4:00 and taking what you generate between Thursday and Friday morning with you because the dump is closed on Fridays. Duck poop is another thing to manage but overall, it is a lovely cottage on a quiet lake that created special family time. Would recommend!

Lovely property, plenty of room for our family and dog. We had a lot of fun each evening in the games room. Beautiful big windows overlooking the lake. Lake is great for children as it has a very shallow entry. Located between Port Carling and Bala. Both have lovely restaurants. Downside was the place had a bad mouse problem. Mouse droppings in drawers in the kids bedrooms and kitchen cupboards, even a mouse nest full of baby mice was found in the kitchen cupboard. The owner promptly had it removed but In my opinion the cleaning company should have found it before our arrival. Also, the mats and carpets are very old and stained which was a bit off putting. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay.

This was one of the nicest cottages we have ever stayed at. Great views, nice quiet lake, use of the navy of kayaks/ paddleboard/canoe, not to mention a really great games room! Would love to return next year. Only suggestion is to adjust the cleaning fee to include bedsheets & final garbage to transfer station.

Beautiful sunsets, warm water, lots to do. We had a great stay at Simon's cottage. He was an excellent host. He provided us with a great info sheet, and he just installed a new air conditioner and brand new bbq. The cottage has lots of fun things to do pool table, ping pong, shuffle board, the wifi worked great ( bell). The lake was lovely, there is a bit of a sandy walk in before a traditional lake bottom. I recommend water shoes as there are a few shells. Lots of fun water activities paddle board, canoe, kayak all on a very quiet little lake. The hot tub was very relaxing. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking tools, dishes and cooking basics ( oil, seasonings). The bathrooms were stocked well and there were lots of bath and beach towels. We loved watching the ducks and ducklings, they loved to tease our dog. So much fun to watch them interact. Beautiful, private, quiet property. Thank you Simon.
